"No, not at all [ we did not anticipate this result]. It is really disappointing to lose the series, but obviously, congratulations to the Bangladesh team. They outplayed us and deserved the victory," said Buttler.
Buttler held him responsible for getting run out immediately after the dismissal of Dawid Malan when England were cruising on 100-1 after 13 overs.
Mustafizur Rahman's over changed the whole landscape of the game as Malan got edged to wicket-keeper and Mehidy Hasan Miraz castled Buttler with a brilliant direct throw.
"Losing two wickets in two balls is really poor. I am really disappointed in myself for not diving and making my ground. You should be fully committed to completing the run, so I was disappointed and it potentially cost us the game," he added.
