It was their second straight defeat in the tournament and has virtually snuffed out their chances of a semi-final spot in the showcase event.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Asked to bat first, Bangladesh posted a respectable 156\/5. The bowlers then staged a late fightback to cut down the margin of defeat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;If we could take a couple of early wickets, the match might have turned out different. In batting, we lost wickets regularly at the start and in the middle, that prevented us from reaching 170,&quot; Mortaza was quoted as saying by bdnews24.com.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;This ground offers big scores. If we had been able to avoid the small mistakes the match could have been different.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bangladesh were poor on the field, letting two straightforward catches go begging. A Shane Watson skier was dropped in the sixth over and John Hastings was given a reprieve in the 18th.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Mashrafe&#39;s captaincy, too, left a lot to be desired as the Australian batsmen easily saw through his bowling changes and field placements.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Speaking about the small mistakes&hellip; there are a couple of places where the decision-making could have been better. I think if the batsmen and bowlers, including myself, had done a little better, the match might have gone our way,&quot; the skipper said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>But the 32-year-old was keen on going into the next match with confidence after giving Australia a run for their money.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We still have two matches left and I think we have to be positive. Anything can happen. I think the boys can take some heart from the way they batted and bowled today.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I think we have to carry those positives into the next match and try to minimise the mistakes.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bangladesh will take on hosts India in their next match on Wednesday at the same venue before heading to Kolkata for their last match of Group 2 against New Zealand on March 26.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Agency<\/strong><\/p>\r\n",
