Bangladesh players looked upbeat to overcome the India’s bowling, which proved to be versatile and more potent than any bowling line up in this World Cup.

Consisting with two high class pacers in Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, a wily leg-spinner in Yuzvendra Chahal and a tricky left-arm spinner in Kuldeep Yadav, India looked a side to defend any kind of total.

There they have a good fifth bowler in Hardik Pandya while a fit again Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the bench. This is a lineup which remains at their very best at the moment in the cricket’s biggest carnival, much to the headache of the other teams.

But Bangladesh, oozing with confidence, looked relaxed and looked a side who knows how to deal with their threat. A couple of days ago, Soumya Sarkar was reluctant to give India’s bowling much a thought and now Mosaddek Hossain Saikat joined him, revealing it confidently that there is no reason to worry about India’s bowling.

India’s bowlers emerged as tougher and sometimes unplayable to the opponents like Australia, South Africa, Pakistan and others.

But Mosaddek believes Bangladesh will win the match, overcoming India’s bowlers.

“Our team is in a circumstance where we should not be worried about our opponent’s bowling attack. India definitely a powerful opposition but if we will be able to play our best, the result will be on our side,” he said.

“Wicket might prove helpful for the batsmen. There will be movements of balls. If we have to ball first, we will try to pick 2-3 wickets in first ten overs.”

Bangladesh came agonizingly close to beat India on three occasions in the past two years, with two in a row in 2018.

Mosaddek however was not in a mood to think about what happened in the past.

“We can’t think about what happened in past. We have to move forward.”
