The match against India is nothing special for Shakib Al Hasan. The Bangladesh captain is watching this match with normal eyes just like the other 10 matches in this T20 World Cup. Not taking any extra pressure. The world’s best all-rounder brought forward the happy memories of Adelaide by saying this in the pre-match press conference.

In the 2015 ODI World Cup, Bangladesh reached the quarter-finals by defeating England in Adelaide. In the press conference, Shakib said, “Taskin and I are from that team, it is a good memory. Hope that memory helps us mentally.” In the last few years, it has been seen that Bangladesh vs India match means more excitement among the audience. This situation was seen during the matches against India in the World Cup, Asia Cup Final,, and Nidahas Trophy. Shakib did not directly answer the question of whether tomorrow’s match will bring back that situation.

The hope of the Bangladesh captain, is ‘if it is a good match, it will be good for the audience. The last match was good. I hope to give such a good match. Bangladesh defeated Netherlands and Zimbabwe in Super Twelve in T20 World Cup. The last match against Zimbabwe was epic. Bangladesh won by 3 runs in the last ball. Shakib reminded us that Bangladesh had lost several matches before due to nervous tension towards the end of such a tense match.

However, Shakib Al Hasan is also careful about learning from there.
