Shakib Al Hasan: the captain of Bangladesh, shakib, stated on Tuesday that his team is not in the competition to win it, and that if they manage to defeat India in their T20 World Cup Super 12 match at the Adelaide Oval, it will indeed be an upset. With 4 points each in Group 2 at the moment, India and Bangladesh are still still in the semi-finals’ reach with a victory.
“Every match is important for us and we want to play with the same approach. We don’t want to focus on any single opposition. We just want to stick to our plans. We are not worried about the strike rates of our players in this World Cup. We are just focused on giving a complete team performance in all the departments of the game,” Shakib said in a press conference.
Continuing further he said, “We want to play well in our remaining two games. If we are able to win against India or Pakistan, it would be an upset. Both the teams are better than us on paper, if we play well and if it is our day, there is no reason why we cannot win. We have seen teams like Ireland and Zimbabwe beating England and Pakistan. If we are able to do the same, I’ll be happy.”
Speaking further about the contest with India, the Bangladesh skipper remarked “I think it will be a full house because India gets good support wherever they play. I think it will be a good game. India are the favourites heading into the match. They have come here to win the World Cup, we are not here to win the World Cup. You can understand the situation, if we win against India, it will be an upset and we will try our best to upset India.”
The match will guarantee the semi final spot for the winner. Thus, both the teams would look to gain the valuable point.
