Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto expressed his disappointment as their Group A fixture against hosts Pakistan was abandoned without a ball being bowled in Rawalpindi because of rain on Thursday.

This fixture had become a dead rubber following both teams' defeats to New Zealand and India in their first two group matches, which eliminated them from the eight-team competition.

"I am very disappointed. We really wanted to play this match but can't do anything about the weather," he expressed his frustration while talking to the broadcaster.

Despite having been on the receiving end of one-sided affairs against India (six-wicket defeat) and New Zealand (five-wicket), Shanto somehow found some inspiration from their performance in the first two games.

"The way we held the games for long periods was very inspiring for us in the two matches" was the takeaway for the Bangladesh skipper, apart from a "good bowling attack".

Pakistan finished fourth and last with one point, a position below Bangladesh, who also have one point but a better net run rate -- a position that might give some solace to the Bangladesh skipper.

Shanto also acknowledged an issue that plagued the Tigers throughout the tournament -- strike rotation, or rather, the lack of it. 

"I have to practise properly in the nets. We have to think about strike rotation. It is very important, and I hope the boys will understand what we need to do," he admitted, recognising an area that was evident in defeats to India and New Zealand.

With Bangladesh bowing out winless, Shanto made the age-old vow of learning from mistakes. "We hope we can learn and come back stronger. We will make a proper plan and execute it," he promised.
