The batsmen have all done admirably in this world cup as they should with the pitches being so flat.
My grades so far:
Tamim: C (much more expected from him, started slow due to injury, still plenty of time to come to the runfest party)
Soumya: C (strike rate is great, but we need a big innings from him 80+ runs at 115+ strike rate)
Shakib: an A+ would be too low a grade, so he's not getting one
Mushy: A- (78 vs SA, 102* vs AUS and some low scores)
Liton: A-
Mithun: D
Riyad: B (has done fine given his limited opportunities)
Mosaddek: B (same as Riyad)
Overall team batting grade is an A-

You know 110+ (138 today) is nothing. Batsmen who come in at that position can get 200+ very quickly. Take one to two over max to settle. Or play a blinder from over 1, some do that.
His 138 was due to his last 12 balls faced. Too slow. One needs to do better in chases when you know what the goal is.
