Shakib Al Hasan confident of shocking Proteas

Bangladesh captain Shakib-al Hasan says his side was confident of defeating a "superior" South Africa here Saturday if the boys stick to a gameplan in their must-win match for making the quarter-final.


Optimistic: Bangladesh captain Shakib-al Hasan

"If we stick to our plans, we have a very good chance. Our boys are very confident after back-to-back wins. Overall they are a better team, undoubtedly. But it's a one day game. Whichever team plays well on the morrow will win," Shakib told reporters here yesterday.

Bangladesh decimated the Netherlands by six wickets and then pulled off a shocking two-wicket win over England at Chittagong. On six points from five games, after beating Ireland, Bangladesh are still in the race for making it to the last eight provided they beat South Africa.
