Before the match, world’s best all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, has said: “we have the capacity to defeat India; they are one of the leading teams in the world and our task will be difficult.”

But we will try our best, commented a confident Shakib.

Playing down the importance of experience, Shakib said: “we need to play our best game; if we can provide our best on the field then we can win.”

After beating Afghanistan, Bangladesh is at the fifth spot with 7 points; if Bangladesh wins one of the two matches against India and Pakistan, they will have to face complex equations and rely on England’s performance but with two back to back wins, they will have a chance.

Nothing is impossible, we must win two matches and hope to play our best against India and Pakistan, expressed a resolute Shakib.

Talking about his consistent performance, Shakib added: “I am happy with my game and most of all, I was aided by luck.”

I want to maintain this streak in the next two matches, he added.
