Bangladesh made a good start in the World Cup by defeating Sri Lanka. The next match for the Tigers is against the mighty South Africa. The match will start tomorrow (Monday) at 8:30 pm Bangladesh time. Shanto's team wants to make history by defeating the Proteas in this match.
Because, Bangladesh has not won eight matches against South Africa in T20 so far. But this time Tigers are confident to break the cycle. The full two points from the first match gives Bangladesh extra motivation to beat the Proteas.
In the group stage, South Africa already won against Sri Lanka and Netherlands. But because of New York's slow wicket, the Proteas had to gain momentum to win both the matches. There has already been a lot of criticism about the New York wicket. ICC is making every effort to improve the wicket.
However, if the wicket is slow, Bangladesh will get more advantage from it. Captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto said calmly, India-Pakistan match will be held in New York before our match against South Africa. So we will get some idea about the wicket.
'Irrespective of the wicket, if we play to our potential, we can beat any team,' Shanto said.
