We are not favorites, and we didn’t come here to win the World Cup - Shakib Al Hasan
"Well, as I said earlier in one of the Bangla questions, India is one of the favorites. They came here to win the World Cup. We are not favorites, and we didn’t come here to win the World Cup. You can understand the situation. If we win against India, it will be called an upset and we will try to play our best cricket and try to make an upset," said Shakib Al Hasan during the pre-match press conference on Tuesday.
"Well, he has been playing well. He is probably their No. 1 batter if you talk about the records in the last year. They have got quite a few world-class players, we have to look out for them. We will talk about all these areas when we discuss our team meeting. There are top-class T20I players who we have to overcome if we are to win," he added later.
Later on, the Bangladeshi skipper also talked about the Australian conditions and the difference in Adelaide in comparison to Hobart and Brisbane.
"Hobart was very cold. Then we went to Sydney, weather-wise. Brisbane was nice too. Now we are getting cold weather. We have to adjust and we are mentally ready for the game. I think it will be a full house and I think it will be an exciting game. We will enjoy the game," he concluded.
