T20 World Cup 2022: India vs Bangladesh: We haven’t come here to win the WC, India have: Shakib al Hasan

Speaking
on
the
eve
of
their
match
against
India,
the
Bangladesh
skipper
Shakib
al
Hasan
said
that
they
weren’t
title
contenders
and
if
they
did
win
against
India,
it
would
be
considered
a
big
upset.

Heading
into
their
fourth
Super
12
match,
both
sides
have
two
wins
a
one
loss
each
under
their
belt.
India
is
placed
above
at
second
place
on
the
points
table
on
the
back
of
a
better
net
runrate.

“We
haven’t
come
here
to
win
the
World
Cup,
but
India
have.
If
we
win
tomorrow,
it
will
be
an
upset
victory.
India
are
favourites
tomorrow,”
Shakib
said
on
the
eve
of
the
match
in
Adelaide.

Meanwhile,
talking
about
the
conditions,
the
Bangla
skipper
added
that
the
cold
conditions
would
be
tough,
but
the
key
as
always
is
adaptability.

“It
is
a
little
difficult.
Hobart
was
very
cold
and
here
it’s
cold.
It
is
difficult
to
adjust
to
this
cold,
but
most
players
have
at
some
point
played
here.
You
can’t
change
the
weather,
but
we
have
to
manage
it,”
he
said.

Talking
about
the
Indian
batting
line-up,
the
all-rounder
did
admit
that
Suryakumar
Yadav
had
been
India’s
No.
1
batter
in
T20Is
over
the
past
year,
but
he
also
added
that
the
Indian
line-up
is
phenomenal,
and
the
bowlers
will
need
to
concentrate
on
each
and
every
batter.
“If
you
aren’t
good,
you
won’t
be
playing
World
Cup
for
India.
It
is
a
phenomenal
batting
order,”
he
said.

Before
signing
off
the
skipper
added
that
the
team
has
done
their
homework
and
have
their
plans
in
place,
whether
they
work
or
not
is
not
in
their
hands.

“We
will
have
our
plans
in
place,
but
not
necessarily,
those
solutions
will
work.
All
eleven
players
are
capable,
and
we
have
to
do
with
resources
that
we
have,”
signed
off
the
Bangladesh
skipper.

Ahead
of
their
Super
12
game,
Bangladesh
have
lost
10

neigbours
India.

While
Rohit
Sharma-led
India
will
head

the
back

the

on
the
back
of
a
narrow

Zimbabwe.
