The confident Tigers want to do well in the South Africa match as well

After a thrilling two-wicket victory in their opening match against Sri Lanka, Bangladesh looks to carry this momentum into their next game against South Africa in New York. This historic win, marking Bangladesh's first T20 World Cup victory over Sri Lanka, has given the Tigers a crucial two points on the table. Now, the focus shifts to maintaining this momentum in the upcoming match on the 10th.

Despite a strong start, Sri Lanka's batting lineup could not muster more than 124 runs against Bangladesh. The combination of leg-spinner Rishad Hossain's spin and the pace duo of Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman proved too much for the Lankan batters. Litton Das provided stability with a responsible batting performance, guiding the team towards victory. Towhid Hridoy's explosive innings at a 200 strike rate and Mahmudullah Riyad's calm finish ensured the win in a tense finish.

As they prepare for the match against South Africa, Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto emphasized the need for a new game plan and the importance of continuing their good form:

"This win was important, but the next three matches are also crucial. The next game is against South Africa, and we need to come up with a fresh plan for that. We have to play good cricket, especially us batsmen; if we can contribute, we can do well."

In the post-match press conference, Shanto also highlighted the confidence boost from this victory:

"Winning such matches keeps everyone confident. Since we managed to win this match, everyone will have extra confidence. If we can carry this confidence into the second match, it will be beneficial. I hope we will perform well in the second match too."

Despite the challenging end to what seemed like an easy match, Bangladesh managed to secure the win. After Shakib's catch, quick dismissals of Rishad and Taskin made the situation tense. However, the experienced Mahmudullah Riyad single-handedly managed the pressure and led the team to victory. Bangladesh defeated Sri Lanka by two wickets with six balls to spare.

Shanto and his team now set their sights on defeating South Africa, who also started their T20 World Cup campaign with a big loss. The Tigers aim to capitalize on this opportunity and continue their winning streak.
