In the first two matches against Zimbabwe, Bangladesh secured commanding victories. With one more match left in Sagarika, Tiger leg-spinner Rishad Hossain expressed his desire to seal the series win in the upcoming game. In the two matches, Bangladesh faced relatively modest targets of 125 and 139 runs, which didn't require the batsmen to be overly aggressive.

Was the pitch in Chittagong ideal for batting? According to Rishad, the wicket was good for both batsmen and bowlers. After securing a 6-wicket victory in the second T20, Rishad Hossain attended the press conference as a representative of Bangladesh and shared his insights on the pitch conditions.

"Everyone was confident, Alhamdulillah. It might seem like the pitch was too easy because the runs were low. Normally, everything was fine. The pitch, Alhamdulillah, was good. Normally, it was good for both the batsmen and bowlers in every way they played."

Since the scoreboard displayed fewer runs, Liton, Shanto, and others played a bit slower. The top order didn't take risks due to the low pressure of overcoming the target.

"No practice as such. Since the scoreboard didn't have enough runs, around 140, there wasn't much need to take risks, I believe. Normally, if you take runs at about 7 to 7.5 per over, it works out. Normally, a boundary ball comes. If you calculate and take runs in this way, Alhamdulillah, it normally works out fine."

Riyad-Hridoy's storm swept Zimbabwe away, giving Bangladesh a 2-0 lead. Rishad stated their intent to clinch the series in the next match, "We always want to play as a team, and we step onto the field to win. We will try to confirm the series win in the next match.
