Bangladesh white-ball batting consultant Neil McKenzie said on they were confident that he is happy that his charges played without fear against Zimbabwe to earn a memorable win in the tri-nation opener in Zimbabwe.

Bangladesh were in dire straits before Afif Hossain and Mossadek rescued them to help them earn a three wicket win over Zimbabwe in the tri-nation opener at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium on Friday.

‘’Obviously we would like to win with no wickets down. But this is cricket and it’s a team game. See, we knew we had a long batting line-up. There is trust in the whole sort of the team. We put a lot of emphasis on playing for a team and trusting the guys out there,’’ McKenzie told reporters during the practice ahead of their game against Afghanistan, scheduled at the same venue on Sunday.

‘’I am very happy that Afif came back after his little one game couple of years ago wherever it was. With Saikot, he really showed a matured innings and played with freedom. There is lot of attention in Bangladesh like many other big countries and they are very passionate about their cricket. With the team going well, everybody  is up and when the team going down, then no one can play,’’ he said.
