England white ball coach Matthew Mott said Tuesday that his side's defeat in the third T20 against Bangladesh to lose the series 3-0 was painful and an "eye-opener" ahead of the 50-over World Cup.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n

"We really wanted to finish well here. It's been a fantastic tour in terms of what we've been up against, a very strong home team. I thought we were on today," Mott said in Dhaka.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"The lead-in was good, everyone was up and about. But for whatever reason, we just couldn't get clean hands with the ball, either in the air or on the ground," he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"That one hurts today," he said. "Obviously we've come over here to do well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"To finish the way we did today will leave a bit of a sour taste in our mouths but it also should act as an eye-opener for us on where we need to improve," Mott said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The ODI World Cup in India later this year is likely to see England's white ball unit have to perform on similarly low-bounce wickets as in Bangladesh if they are to retain their title.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Having lost the preceding ODI series 2-1, a clinical Bangladesh won the first T20 by six wickets, the second by four wickets and the last by 16 runs in front of a raucous home crowd.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

It was Bangladesh's first series defeat of England in any format, and captain Shakib Al Hasan said his side "didn't dream" that such a result was possible.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"We didn't put ourselves under pressure before the series. We didn't talk about winning games but just wanted to play good cricket," Shakib said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"I don't like to compare between series. Winning every match is important but the way we won this series, we haven't played like this before."<\/p>\r\n\r\n

He added that Bangladesh started playing well during the T20 World Cup last November in Australia and haven't looked back since.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"We were unfortunate not to reach the semifinals of the T20 World Cup. We were one win away from that achievement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"We had a lot of doubt before the tournament, but the belief that we can compete with bigger teams started from the World Cup," he said.<\/p>\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Matthew-Mott.jpeg", "alt_img": "Matthew Mott", "alt_title": "England tour of Bangladesh 2023", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Bangladesh Series Loss 'Hurts', Says England Coach Mott", "seo_desc": "England white ball coach Matthew Mott said Tuesday that his side's defeat in the third T20 against Bangladesh to lose the series 3-0 was painful and an \"eye-opener\" ahead of the 50-over World Cup.", "seo_keywords": "England Tour Of Bangladesh, Matthew Mott", "tag": null, "tagging": "England Tour Of Bangladesh,Matthew Mott,", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "bangladesh-series-loss-hurts-says-england-coach-mott", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "1", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "1501", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2023-03-15 15:48:59", "updated": "2023-03-15 15:48:59", "img_from": "Image Source: Google", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "England tour of Bangladesh 2023, Matthew Mott", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "0", "google_feed": "0", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "1", "jio_date": "2023-03-15 15:48:59", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": "Select", "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/bangladesh-series-loss-hurts-says-england-coach-mott-119053" }
