As they gear up for the Twenty20 tri-series title clash against a formidable India, skipper Shakib Al Hasan says Bangladesh have "momentum" after their spectacular win over the hosts.
Bangladesh eked out a thrilling two-wicket win over Sri Lanka in a nail-biting virtual semifinal last night to book a place in the final.
"India are a very good side but we have the momentum, so hopefully we can continue the performance," said Shakib.
Talking about the semifinal, Shakib said: "You can't expect more than that in a T20 game. There was everything. Emotions, drama, everything. We are lucky to be on the winning side.
"Kusal Perera and Thisara Perera batted very well, got themselves into a winning position. I had only one hit before I came into the game, so I knew I wasn't 100%. It was important to rotate the strike and give it to Mahmudullah. This is one of our best innings in the last five overs."
"When I and Shakib were there, I was at ease but Shakib's wicket put pressure on me. Other guys came up to me and believed that we'll do it."
Talking about the incident, Mahmudullah said: "The confusion was that the ball (Mustafizur's wicket ball) would be the first bumper (sic) of the over but it's in the past now, so let's forget it."
