Bangladesh captain Shakib al Hasan aims to end the Asia Cup campaign on a high note by beating India in their last encounter of the tournament.
Bangladesh are already out of the race following the seven-wicket and 21-run defeat to Pakistan and Sri Lanka in the first two matches of Super-4.
"If we can win the last match and go home, it will definitely be good for us,” said the captain during the press conference on Thursday.
Shakib said his main focus is winning the match against India, without any distractions or other objectives. 'No, I don't want anything else from this match. I just want to win from this match,”
The Bangladesh captain was asked whether the match against India would be tough. In response to such a question, Shakib said, 'I can say that after the game, how can I say before the match whether it will be easy or difficult? We will try our best so that we can win,” he added.
Bangladesh will take on India in their last match of the Super-4 phase tomorrow (Friday) at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.
The Tigers will play a three-match ODI series against New Zealand at home ahead of the ODI World Cup, starting on September 21.
