"From here (T20 crew) around 80 to 90 percent cricketers will play in the ODIs and this is a colossal certainty help for us in front of the Asia Cup," Shakib said after his group's success.

In the second of the two-match series, which was marred by rain, Bangladesh moved Afif Hossain, a number seven batter, up in the order. Afif (24) answered well in his new situation by setting up 67 runs in the initial association with Litton Das and laid the stage for the monstrous success against one of the better bowling assaults on the planet in this more limited design.

Bangladesh likewise enrolled their fourth progressive reciprocal series win in this organization as they recently secured a 2-0 series prevail upon UAE in Dubai last year before they beat Britain and Ireland separately by 3-0 and 2-1 edge in their own back yard this year.

There are two to four players who come and go, but it's always the same. In any case, we are still distant from getting our best blend," he said, adding that beating Afghanistan in T20Is came as a major releif as they've not done very well generally against them in this configuration.

"Obviously, it's a major help when your arrangements work likewise and players can likewise execute it on the field and we come by brings about our approval. What can be preferable over that?
