Saint John's [Antigua and Barbuda], ahead of his team's ICC T20 World Cup Super Eights clash against Australia, Bangladesh head coach Chandika Hathurusing said the important thing would be to start well with bat or ball during the game, since the shots have been difficult. for batsmen at many venues in this tournament.
Australia will begin their Super Eights leg of the ICC T20 World Cup against Bangladesh in Antigua on Friday. Australia finished Group B on top with four wins from four matches. Bangladesh, on the other hand, finished at number two in Group C with three wins and one loss.
Before the game, in the pre-match press conference, while talking about St. Vincent's pitch and Antigua's pitch, Chandika said: "The plan is, again, any team wanted to start strong, batting or bowling. But As you said, lately the pitches have been very challenging for hitters in many places and it has also been very difficult to read the pitches. We thought in San Vicente the pitches were good, but then it turned out to be very difficult AND it is more friendly for the players. "Not just pace or spin, both, it's tough for batsmen, so our plan is to get off to a good start whether we're batting or bowling."
Chandika said that when the team came to the tournament, they did so with the intention of qualifying at least for Super Eights and anything from here on for the team is an advantage.
"So we play with a lot of freedom. And we're going to challenge all three teams as best we can," he added.
On whether the team management will make changes in the eleven, Chandika said: "Yes, it all depends on the condition. It will probably be a bit of opposition as well. We will keep that in mind, their limitations. And of course, we play to our strengths, so Those are the things we're going to consider tomorrow."
Chandika said the team could not observe the field, but understood the size of the land.
On whether she has memories of playing against stars like David Warner, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood, Chandika said: "Not long ago, 12 months ago I was there with them.
