“Obviously we try and speak to the guys before the game to prepare them as much as possible.
“Definitely in the first two fixtures there would have been nerves around,” he added. But we have a fair idea of what we need to do.”īangladesh entered the tournament sixth in the MRF Tyres Men’s T20I Team Rankings and favourites to qualify for the Super 12 from Group B but Prince says nerves have played a part in the Tigers not producing their best cricket yet. We will have to do our bit and try and apply the pressure on to Scotland and Oman. “There is not much margin of difference in the run-rates of Scotland, Oman and Bangladesh but we have the equation within us, within the team and the players know exactly what to do. Hopefully we will improve even tomorrow as we go into the final game. “That was a big result for us but even so, there are still parts of our performance that we felt we could have done better at. I think it was a lot of pressure in terms of playing against the home team and obviously going out of the competition if we lost the game. “We bounced back nicely yesterday (against Oman). “They obviously came back well after being 53 for six, posted a competitive score and we were disappointed not to get that. “We fancied ourselves in the first game to chase 140 against Scotland. “We're not at full throttle yet,” said former South Africa international Prince.
However, if Bangladesh and Oman both win then three teams would be tied on four points, with net run-rate deciding who advances to the next stage.Īnd while Prince is keen to put as much pressure on the other teams as possible, he wants his side to firstly focus on producing a complete performance. Victory over PNG on Thursday would move them to four points and if Scotland beat Oman later the same day, then the Tigers would qualify for the Super 12 as runners-up in Group B and move into Group 1 as team B2. Bangladesh will look to put all three phases of the game together and hit ‘full throttle’ when they face Papua New Guinea with a place in the Super 12 on the line, according to batting coach Ashwell Prince.īangladesh suffered a surprise six-run defeat to Scotland in their opening match at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 but overcame a wobble to rebound with a 26-run triumph over Oman.
