00:00We'll just go with English first.
00:02Shaqib, incredible performance.
00:03Congratulations today.
00:05A very important win for Bangladesh,
00:06which means they have a great chance
00:09of qualifying for Super 8s.
00:10Tell us about your performance.
00:12You batted really well.
00:13Tell us about the wicket and first match
00:15against St. Vincent after a very long time.
00:18So how was the wicket?
00:19And overall, there was a great atmosphere,
00:21great backing for both teams.
00:22So hopefully you enjoyed this performance today.
00:24Yes, at the start, it was important for us
00:29as a batting unit that someone from top four
00:33batted throughout the innings.
00:34That was important.
00:35No one knew what was going to be a good total.
00:38So that's why whoever won the toss wanted to feel first.
00:43So we need to assess the wicket.
00:45I thought we did that brilliantly.
00:47Because it wasn't an easy wicket to bat on at the start.
00:50Once the ball got older, scoring becomes a little easier.
00:55I think second half, batting becomes a little easier.
00:58But having said that, I think our bowler
01:00did a tremendous job, especially Mustafiz and Rishad.
01:05The way they bowled last eight overs, out of those eight
01:08overs, I think they bowled four overs.
01:09And none for, I think, four or five wickets.
01:11That changed the momentum of the game.
01:14Netherlands gave it a real good shot in the chase also.
01:17So was there any panic at all?
01:19Or did you think that maybe one, two wickets,
01:21and you'll be back in the business?
01:24I mean, at that time, it was anybody's game.
01:26If they could have batted two, three more overs,
01:29it would have been very difficult for us
01:31to come back on the game.
01:32But that's how the T20 matches goes.
01:36The way Rishad bowled that over, when he took those two wickets,
01:40that changed the game completely.
01:42And then we never let them get away.
01:47Good afternoon.
01:49Afternoon.
01:50Just two questions.
01:52Your assessment of the pitch, looking
01:55at what the other teams experienced
01:57in the previous games.
01:59Last night is one example.
02:01And how long do you think Mamadoula will
02:04continue serving Bangladesh?
02:06As long as he's fit and performing for the team,
02:09I think he'll continue.
02:10He has a long way to go, I believe.
02:12He's one of the fittest guy in our team,
02:14batting really well, contributing with the ball.
02:17Can't ask for more than that.
02:18And overall, the wicket, I think it played really well.
02:22That's a decent wicket, where there
02:23is everything for everyone.
02:26If you ball well, there is something for you.
02:28If you look to score runs down the ground,
02:31there is value for your shots.
02:33Because the outfield is fast, so you can score runs as well,
02:36when you are set.
02:37So I thought, overall, it was a very good pitch for a T20 game.
02:42Last match now against Nepal.
02:43And a win takes you through to Super 8.
02:46How confident are you of making it happen for Bangladesh?
02:50The position we are in, we should feel the confidence.
02:54There is no reason we shouldn't feel confident.
02:57So obviously, it will be a very important game.
03:00And I hope the way we are contributing as a team,
03:03performing as a team, we can do the same thing against Nepal.
03:06Questions on Bengali.
03:10Shaggy Bhai, congratulations.
03:12This is Alisher Edamin from Dhaka Tribune newspaper.
03:19Shaggy Bhai, Rishabh Hussain's impact on our team.
03:22Actually, Bangladesh has been doing a leg spinner for a long time.
03:26So in the first match, we saw that he took two crucial wickets.
03:30Even today, the mood of the match has changed a lot.
03:33As a leg spinner, plus as an impact player,
03:36what is your suggestion for him?
03:39How far can he take Bangladesh cricket?
03:42He is doing very well.
03:43In terms of new things, I think his character show is very good.
03:48But I think everyone contributes, especially the bowling unit.
03:53Everyone needs to contribute in their own situations.
03:56And everyone's contribution is visible.
04:00Mustafi has bowled, Tashkent has bowled,
04:03Saqib has bowled.
04:05So these contributions are needed to make another bowler good.
04:09I think our bowling unit can do that.
04:12Saqib, Mahirdin Palash, Khabar Lahariya newspaper.
04:15I played the third match today.
04:17We won the match with a tight position.
04:21We couldn't win the match with a run in the inner.
04:23I would like to know how much of an advantage
04:26can a wicket have in an event like the T20 World Cup?
04:30You will ask this question to the ICC.
04:35Mr. Saqib, before this match...
04:37Oh, sorry.
04:38I'm a run-off buzz from today's news.
04:40Before this match, I would like to take your performance
04:43and ask a lot of questions.
04:45Especially, Mr. Birendar Sehwag had a lot of comments.
04:50Who?
04:51Mr. Birendar Sehwag.
04:52He said in a discussion that...
04:56Everyone has a lot of comments.
04:57Do you think these innings are a lot of questions to ask?
05:03Or is it a lot of waiting?
05:05A player never comes to ask a question.
05:08A player's job is to be a batsman,
05:10bat and contribute for the team.
05:13If he's a bowler, his job is to bowl well.
05:16The wicket is a matter of luck.
05:17If he's a fielder, when he's fielding,
05:20his job is to make every run safe.
05:22He has to take as much cash as he can.
05:24There's nothing else to answer here.
05:26I think it's important for a player,
05:29especially a current player,
05:30to know how much he can contribute for the team.
05:34When he can't contribute, he has to talk in a positive way.
05:36I don't think it's a bad thing.
05:40I would like to add that a lot of your expectations are over.
05:43You've been with the team for 8 years,
05:45and you've won the T20 World Cup.
05:48In 2020, you won the Man of the Match award.
05:52How happy are you to be back in the T20 World Cup?
05:58It's always nice to contribute for the team.
06:02It was important for the four of us to bat for 15-17 overs.
06:11I was lucky to bat for 15-17 overs today.
06:16Next time, someone else will bat for us.
06:19That's how the T20 World Cup goes.
06:23I don't think it's important to think about performance.
06:28It's important to know how much you can contribute for the team.
06:32Mr. Sakhir Bhai, I have a question for both of you.
06:34Mr. Sakhir Bhai, you bat for 50 overs after the 2002 World Cup.
06:39It's a good score for the team.
06:41It's good for your health and for the team.
06:44Next time, Nepal will play a match on Eid.
06:48Do you want to make everyone happy by winning that match?
06:51Of course, it's an important match for Nepal.
06:54If we win, we will go to the second round.
06:56It will be a big achievement for us.
06:59We are focused on the match on Eid.
07:02It's a happy day for us, especially for the people of Bangladesh.
07:09It's a celebration for the people of other religions.
07:12I hope we can make them laugh on this day.
07:17What was the first question?
07:18It's a good score for you to bat for 50 overs.
07:21I've never been worried about my career.
07:26It's good if I can contribute for the team.
07:29Today was my day.
07:31Maybe someone else's day will come in the next match.
07:33Thank you.
07:39Mr. Sakhir Bhai, I noticed that you bowled with a lot of intensity after 6 overs.
07:43With what?
07:44During your bowling, you were showing a lot of aggression after 6 overs.
07:51Did you feel that your batting score was a bit low in this wicket?
07:58No, it was a challenging total.
08:00I think it was a challenging total.
08:05We should have bowled better.
08:08At one stage, the game was 50-50 until the 12th over.
08:15The game could have gone in any direction.
08:17Mustafiz and Rishabh bowled 4 overs at that time.
08:22They bowled unbelievably well.
08:24It brought us back to the match in a good way.
08:27We bowled well at the end as well.
08:29Our bowling unit has consistently bowled well for a long time.
08:32We can see the confidence of the pace bowler in them.
08:36I think Rishabh's addition was a good addition for us.
08:40Mr. Sakhir, you started your journey with Mustafiz in 2009.
08:46Then we got captain Sakhib.
08:48You brought a lot of success.
08:49You bowled 50 overs in the Menarda match.
08:55Did you have any other dreams for the Benarda match?
08:58Not like that.
09:00Overall, West Indies has always brought something good for us.
09:04If I look at my career, I have a lot of good experiences in West Indies.
09:09I had a confidence that I could do better in this area.
09:16Sakhib, I don't know if the question was asked or not.
09:19I wanted to ask you about your thoughts before this match.
09:22I want to ask you something.
09:25Your career has been ups and downs for so many years.
09:28Your age, busy schedule, Sakhib's death.
09:32You were in a row.
09:34As far as I know you, you have a lot of extra motivation.
09:38Did you do this on purpose?
09:40Or was it a part of your performance in the first two matches?
09:42Alhamdulillah, Allah is always kind to me.
09:46Allah gives me good things when I am in a situation like this.
09:49Alhamdulillah, I was able to do something good.
09:52It was important for us to get two points.
09:55Before coming to India, if we had thought that we will get four points in three matches,
10:00I think we would have been happy.
10:03I don't think winning is that important.
10:06You got two points in the World Cup.
10:08You won the match.
10:09This is the most important thing.
10:11I don't think I have ever thought about personal goals in my life.
10:16I have always thought about how I can contribute to the team.
10:21If I had played for personal achievement, I would have batted differently.
10:25I think I was able to do what I had to do for the team.
10:29This is what is satisfying for me.
