But Mominul wants to pin hopes on the batters coming in after the set duo.
“We are confident that we will be able to reach the target we want to set,” he said.
“Because after Shanto and Jaker, Miraz will come and he can bat. We have Taijul Islam and Hasan Mahmud, who can also contribute with the bat. That gives us added confidence,” he added.
Bangladesh could have reached a stronger position had Mominul made knocks in both first and second innings bigger.
He scored 56 in the first innings but missed out on another fifty in the second by just three runs.
