The Bengal Tigers are ready to face the fast bowling attack from South Africa in their last league match of ICC Cricket World Cup 2011.
While talking to media, the Captain of Bangladesh cricket team, Shakib said, “We go into the match after two consecutive wins against England and the Netherlands, so the confidence and morale of the team is high.”
"If we stick to our plans and execute them well, I think we have a very good chance to beat South Africa. They are obviously a very strong team, but we won't be found wanting."
Yesterday, England won their last league match against West Indies in Chennai on Thursday ruined Bangladesh's hopes of easing into the knockout rounds without having to contend with South Africa's firepower.
Meanwhile, South Africa is only team from the Group-B to have qualified for quarterfinals, with four others - India, West Indies, Bangladesh and England - vying for the remaining three berths over the weekend.
"I watched (Chris) Gayle's batting and then switched to the movie," he said. "As far as I am concerned we have to win tomorrow if we want to qualify."
Shakib said it was not easy to get huge totals on Bangladeshi wickets.
"So far only (Virender) Sehwag and (Virat) Kohli have got hundreds in the five matches we have played," the captain said.
