The team captain of Bangladesh says Shakib Al Hasan will come back to form
Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto backed his team to reach the Super Eights stage. Before his side's ICC T20 World Cup match against the Netherlands, he said that they have played some good cricket in the tournament so far. The Bangladesh cricket team will take on the Netherlands in a crucial Group D clash at Kingstown on Thursday. Bangladesh is in second place in Group D with a win and a loss, giving them two points. Team Netherlands is in third place in the group with a win and a loss too. Both teams are in contention for a spot in the Super Eight stage of the tournament.
Speaking ahead of the game at the pre-match press conference, Shanto said, “Yeah, as I said, we played some good cricket here. And we are very confident that the team we have this time, if we play to our strength, should go to the Super Eights.”
On being questioned about a narrow four-run loss to South Africa in their previous match, the skipper said that such things happen in cricket and the team is happy with its performances.
“And here we had a very good practice session today. A little hot, but the boys have already adjusted, and I hope we will have a very good match,” he added.
