Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto is not expecting anything extra rather he want the team to play as a whole against New Zealand in the T20I series.

Bangladesh managed to avoid a whitewash 2-1 against the Kiwis after a commanding 9-wicket win in the last match after skittling down the host to 99 runs.

“We have a great opportunity ahead, and everyone is excited. We have made a good preparation as a team. Some of the T20 players were already here. Hoping for a good match tomorrow,” Shanto told the media.

“Everyone playing as a team is very important. Not expecting anything extra. We will stick to our basics and try to implement that. I think everyone is ready to do that,” he said.

The captain wants duel support from the pacers and spinners in the T20Is.

“Of course, pace bowlers have an advantage here. Still we are playing a different format. I hope they will try to do something good for the team in both the pace and spin departments,” he added.

Bangladesh will take on the BlackCaps in the first T20I on Wednesday.
