Tigers desire to keep going on with winning spree

Bangladesh desire to keep going with their winning spree against Zimbabwe when they take on the visitors for the fourth game of the five-match T20 series.

The match kicks off at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur at 6:00 pm on Friday. It will be aired on T-sports and GTV.
The men in red and green have already confirmed the series by winning the first three matches in a row in Chattogram.

The hosts will be further bolstered by the return of Shakib Al Hasan and Mustafizur Rahman who have been in great form of late. Soumya Sarkar was also included for the last two matches along with the duo but he came back in the team after recovering from the injury.

Meanwhie, fast bowler Taskin Ahmed refused to be relaxed ahead of the clash in the fourth game. According to him, a win against Zimbabwe won't give them any credit but a defeat would leave them in an embarrassing situation.

"We can't afford to be relaxed. If we win, we won't get any credit, but if we lose, everyone will say that lost to Zimbabwe and they will criticize us," Taskin said in a pre-match conference on Thursday.

He said, "Our main focus is the World Cup. Our job is to try our best wherever we play. But you have to understand many things like-- conditions, opposition, who I am playing against, where I am playing-- are out of our control. We as players give our best wherever we play. Even in the DPL, when we play, we try to play well.
