Shakib Al Hasan sees the possibility of good results for Bangladesh in the upcoming T20 World Cup. According to this world’s best all-rounder, Bangladesh can go far if they get good momentum. His goal is to get good momentum and hold it for now.
Shakib is currently in the US to spend time with his family. The T20 World Cup will start in this country and West Indies from next June. Many expatriate Bangladeshis stay in the United States. Shakib recently attended an event at the invitation of those expatriates. This all-rounder expects full support from them in the World Cup as well.
At an event in the United States, Shakib said, “It is a bit difficult to say whether I am in a position to win the World Cup or not.” But anyone can beat anyone in T20, there are no big or small teams. We need faith, if we can play with that faith, we will do well. I am not saying whether I can win the trophy or not.
Although we are in a tough group, said the world-class Tiger all-rounder. But in T20, the difference between the teams is very less. Any team can beat anyone on any given day. It will definitely be a tough competition. But I think the conditions will help us. West Indies suit us well. We can get the same pitch as Bangladesh. Especially in Dallas.
Bangladesh won the last T20 World Cup against Netherlands and Zimbabwe. Shakib feels that it is possible to get better results if we do a little better from there. He said, I hope our preparation will be good. Our performance in the last T20 World Cup was very good. If we can improve a bit from there, I think we have a chance to do better this time.
“I don’t know what the New York pitch will be like,” he added. Hope to get a lot of support. I hope to get a lot of support from you whether I do good or bad. You can also criticize, no problem. Hope I can repay your love and support.
Bangladesh has played in the United States before. The Tigers also won the T20 series against West Indies in the country in 2018. Almost the entire support of Seva’s gallery was for the red-green jersey holders. Even before the World Cup, the Tigers will prepare by playing a bilateral series in this field. Shakib wants the same kind of support in that series and the World Cup.
This all-rounder is expecting good things, we hope our preparation will be good. When we played here earlier we got a lot of support. We won the series against West Indies that time. Hope we can do something good this time too. Our performance in the last T20 World Cup was very good. If we can improve a bit from there, I think we have a chance to do better this time.
