Bangladesh’s dashing left-handed opening batsman has labeled India as the favourites to win the Nidahas trophy while also calling for his team to snap out of panicking after being on a losing streak, from which the team are yet to get out. Ever since their tour of South Africa, the Tigers have lost all their series, including the tri-nation, Test and T20I series against Sri Lanka.

As a result, there seems to be a bad aura around the team which is causing them to panic, something that hasn’t gone down well with Iqbal. Tamim believes that one win could change everything and that everyone should refrain from being worried.

‘I and everyone in the team believe that we are just one win away from getting out of this place (bad run of form).

‘We tend to get panicked every time. We just lost one series and I think we are panicking. We have to stop this.'

When asked about who are the favourites to win the upcoming Nidahas tri-series, Tamim Iqbal mentioned that India are in good nick and are the firm favourites to bathe in glory.

‘India are favourites, they are in great form. This format [T20Is] is so interesting that the game can change at many moment.’
