Not quite sure this is good way to pump up the BD team........rather can bring air of complacency!
I respect and follow UShuvro and his colleagues' writing for so long......enjoy every bit....but lately their reports are rather inflicting more woes to BD cricketers' recent situations. Hope BD team will not take any associates lightly..........it is T20..........cricket's uncertainty at its best.

Yes apparently our media(like most SC countries) are of the worst breed.
We should not take Nepal or HK lightly especially in the T20 arena. Remember, one Good/Bad over can change the entire game. Before Shakib got rid of the first 2 batsman, Afghanistan were in a decent position- 36/1 in 5.1 overs looking good for a 140ish score on a pitch not suited for big scores.
These 2 matches are also crucial in the sense that it will allow us to test the ability of Sabbir and Nasir before the main round given we qualify ofcourse which we should. Also, an emphatic victory over these 2 teams will enrich our team with confidence and some momentum before the main round. A rusty win like that against UAE on the other hand will not be great feeling for us.
