In an interview with IANS, India’s Largest independent newswire, Shakib said consistent performance from the Tigers can help them reach the knockout stages or even further in the tournament.
"This time I think we have a genuine chance of winning the tournament, but keeping the format of the tournament in mind, we must look to play well consistently.
If we can do that, we can definitely look at qualifying for the knockouts and take it forward from there. I am confident that we will do well this time,” told Shakib.
"Personally, obviously I wish that Bangladesh win the trophy this time. But a lot of factors need to click together for that dream to be realized.
