Bangladesh failed to capitalise on a brilliant 84 by Shakib Al Hasan &mdash; the highest individual score by a Bangladeshi batsman in all Twenty20 cricket &mdash; which lifted them to a challenging 175-6 in Pallekele on Tuesday. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s always disappointing to go out of the tournament early,&rdquo; said Rahim after the match. <img alt="" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/sep/rahim.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 374px; " /> Mushfiqur Rahim Bangladesh lost their first game by 59 runs against New Zealand. &ldquo;We have not played our best game in the first match so that put us under huge pressure in the second. Also, probably, we were nervous,&rdquo; Rahim added, before ruing the lack of quality in his team&rsquo;s bowling. &ldquo;We have spin bowling in our line-up but we did not get any spin in the wicket so that put us under pressure,&rdquo; said Rahim, whose team had three left-arm spinners in the match against New Zealand. However, Rahim said despite the losses he was happy at team&rsquo;s improvement. &ldquo;I am quite happy after how we raised our game in the second match and we must continue to learn for the sake of our future.&rdquo;
