“I think the boys played some really good cricket [in the warm-up game]. The wicket was very good. Preparation wise, everyone did their job. New Zealand [XI] played well as well. It was a good practice match. Boys are really confident about the series,” said Shanto.
Shanto was inspired by the Mount Maunganui Test win last year, but Bangladesh hasn’t won any short-format matches against the Kiwis. Although Bangladesh lost 16 consecutive ODIs in New Zealand, they aim to break the streak and replicate their successful last tour.
“As a team, we look to win this series, to be honest. We have a very good team. We won one Test match here last year. If we can win the [ODI] series, it will be great for us,” Shanto said.
