We have resources in the last 10 overs to get a par-plus total. In the last two years I have hardly batted at No. 4. If I have, I have only done so after the 30-35th over. This was my chance to bat,&rdquo; said Dhoni, adding that he can do this only if Nos 6 and 7 keep on batting well.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I hadn&#8217;t been moving well against spin but that had to do with the fact that there wasn&#8217;t much batting behind me. This win is good, but we need to make a decision if we want quick bowlers or if we want good bowlers even if they are not quick,&rdquo; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, happy with his team&rsquo;s performance, Bangladesh skipper Mashrafe Mortaza said they have a lot of positives and a lot of lessons to take from the match. &ldquo;Mustafizur has been brilliant. It was fantastic to see him bowl under such pressure. We lost too many wickets at regular intervals today. Our batsmen got in and got out.
