Bangladesh’s historic ODI victory in New Zealand has injected confidence into their camp as they set their sights on the upcoming T20I series against the hosts.

Coach Chandika Hathurusingha highlighted the mental boost gained from breaking their own  ODI jinx in New Zealand after 18 successive defeats. This triumph fuels their ambition to replicate success in the T20 format, where they’ve faced nine consecutive losses on New Zealand soil.

The team’s unbeaten streak in 2023’s T20 series against England, Ireland, and Afghanistan further fuels their aspirations, with Hathurusingha aiming to continue this trend. Bangladesh sees the upcoming T20I series in New Zealand as a pivotal step towards their T20 World Cup preparations.

Despite limited match opportunities before the tournament, Hathurusingha emphasized aligning their strategies with the conditions while developing player roles crucial for the global event. Amid preparations, he commended Soumya Sarkar’s outstanding performance in the recent ODI series, foreseeing his pivotal role in the T20 World Cup.

Hathurusingha’s focus remains unwavering on the team’s mental strength and strategic preparations, accentuating their determination to make a mark in the forthcoming T20 World Cup.
