He also remarked that the toss will play a crucial role at the Wankhede Stadium. “Pray that we [Bangladesh] win the toss tomorrow. The spinners won’t play a big role in this venue, which is relatively a smaller ground. It is a high-scoring ground.
“We are planning to restrict them [SA] to a lower total. We are taking inspiration from how the Netherlands restricted them. We have been looking at their weaknesses from the last one or two years,” Shakib said during the pre-match press conference on Monday.
In reply to the Netherlands 245-8, SA were bowled out for 207 in 42.5 overs at Dharamsala last week.
