Bangladesh in order to qualify for semifinal need to beat India at Adelaide Oval on Wednesday.
However Shakib Al Hasan, the Bangladesh captain, has called his side underdogs and winning over India will be considered an upset.
“I think it will be a good game. India are the favourites heading into the match. They have come here to win the World Cup, we are not here to win the World Cup. You can understand the situation, if we win against India, it will be an upset and we will try our best to upset India,” Shakib Al Hasan said in a prematch press conference.
Hasan also appreciated the batting Suryakumar Yadav is capable of, and called the middle order batter India’s best T20 batter right now.
“[Yadav] has been playing really well for them. I think he is probably their No.1 batter in terms of the record in the last year. They have few world-class players, we have not done our team meetings yet. We will talk about the areas we need to look after in the team meetings. If we want to win, we have to take care of all the departments,” concluded the Bangladesh captain.
