I like AB de Villiers’ batting, I try to stay positive like him – Shamim

Bangladesh Confident of Come-From-Behind Series Victory

Bangladesh batter Shamim Hossain expressed confidence in his team's ability to win the series after levelling the three-match series with a comprehensive 83-run win against Sri Lanka in the second T20I.

Shamim on the Win

• "First of all, we won the match, and that is the most pleasing thing. Now the series is level at 1-1, so this win was important for us."
• "Now we have the chance to win the series, and hopefully, if we play well, we will win it."

Litton Das' Innings

• Shamim praised Litton Das' innings of 76 off 50, which included five sixes.
• "Litton batted really well. It was a turning point because you need a good start early on, and because of that innings, we were able to finish strongly later."

Shamim's Innings and Inspiration

• Shamim contributed 48 off 27 coming in at No. 6.
• "I am not worried about my batting position. The spot I am batting in right now, I feel very confident there."
• "Whenever I go out to bat, my plan is to stay positive. Someone has to take risks, and I want to take that responsibility for the team."
• "I like AB de Villiers' batting, and I always try to stay positive like him. T20 cricket is all about staying positive, and I feel that if I stay positive, I will do well."
