Bangladesh pace bowler Taskin Ahmed said on Friday that they don’t feel that their World Cup journey is over yet.
"It's not finished yet (hope of reaching the semi-final). Still four more games to go. If we can win those four, anything can happen because there are some run rates issues and also like a lot of teams like England..... Afghanistan beat England they lost against Sri Lanka,” Taskin told reporters ahead of their game against Netherlands.
"So, if we can win four there will be a different story maybe but at the moment we are planning to go match by match. Yes, we didn't play well enough as we expected from both units, batting, and bowling, but four games to go. So, we are looking forward to do well," he said.
"Our fielding was pretty good so far in this tournament but batting and bowling I think as we expected we haven't done enough well so there are a lot more improvements. But also, we know also that we are better than that. And we are capable. But yeah, we haven't done great. So, hoping to do well in the next four matches," he said.
Bangladesh are going through a tough period in the ongoing ICC World Cup as they lost their last four games after winning the opening game against Afghanistan and a further loss to Netherlands will be a huge blow considering they are expected to win against the associate nations.
However, their present performance in the global tournament does not guarantee that it will a easy cake walk more so after Netherlands brought down high-flying South Africa in the tournament earlier and coupled by the fact that are drowned by the expectations it will be even more difficult for Sakib and co who are eagerly looking to change their fortune through the game against men in Orange.
