Shai Hope has been the visitor’s one glimmer of hope as far as batting is concerned, and has been in shining form during the ODI series and Brathwaite has vowed to play him even if he has to carry Hope on a stretcher. Hope scored 297 runs in the three-ODI series against the Tigers, the most by any batsman in a bilateral ODI series in Bangladesh. As long as he is alive, he will play [Monday],” said Brathwaite at the pre-match press conference in Sylhet Sunday. Now, with the T20I series starting Monday, the hero of the 2016 World T20I final would like to end the year with a series win. We will turn up, play the best brand of cricket, and try to find ways to win,” Brathwaite concluded.
