Bangladesh captain Shakib al Hasan was confident ahead of their first Super-12 match against the Netherlands and said the Tigers prepared for all the teams in the same way.
Bangladesh will begin their T20 World Cup campaign with a game against the Netherlands on October 24 at the Bellerive Oval. The Netherlands claimed the Super 12 berth after becoming runners-up from Group A in the first round.
"The four matches we played in New Zealand will help us, especially in Hobart where the weather is similar to Christchurch. So everyone is excited for the match tomorrow," said Shakib.
When he was asked if Bangladesh are relieved to have the Netherlands as their first opponent, Shakib said they take preparation in the same way for every opponent.
"Look, we have prepared for the five matches we have to play in the World Cup. The preparation will be the same irrespective of oppositions. It will be the same against the Netherlands, or South Africa, or India, or Pakistan, or Zimbabwe," said Shakib.
"We never thought like that. Every match is equally important to us. There are two points to grab. We look to win every game we go to play. There is no easy or weak team in this World Cup,"
The Tigers will travel to Sydney for their next game against South Africa on October 27.
