DHAKA, Aug 28: Bangladesh skipper Mohammad Ashraful is confident his team can reach the second round of the Twenty20 World Championship, emulating their performance in the one-day version of the tournament earlier this year.
Bangladesh face hosts South Africa and the West Indies in the group stage of the 12-team championship.
“We’ve done it once,” he said on Tuesday. “Naturally, we are confident that we can do it again.”
In March, Bangladesh stunned India in the group phase of the World Cup in the Caribbean to reach the Super Eights round, where they also beat South Africa.—Reuters
