Bangladesh's head coach, Phil Simmons, has attributed the team's disappointing defeat against Pakistan in the Asia Cup to missed catches and poor shot selection by the players. The defeat ended Bangladesh's hopes of securing a place in the final.
Despite having Pakistan in a vulnerable position at 51 for 5, Bangladesh allowed the game to slip through their fingers when they dropped critical catches from Shaheen Shah Afridi and Mohammad Nawaz.
