Regarding Liton Das’s batting, Shakib said that he is our best batsman. The way he batted in the powerplay, we got a lot of momentum and we thought we could chase that score here in the short boundaries. If you look at India’s top four, they are extremely dangerous. Our plan was to get those 4 out and so we got Taskin to bowl. Unfortunately he didn’t take wickets but he was very economical. We are very relaxed and not talking much about cricket in this World Cup. We have one more match to play and we want to focus on that.
