Bangladesh followed up their 3-0 ODI sweep with a thumping seven-wicket win in the lone T20I at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium here on Friday. It was Bangladesh's first T20I win against Pakistan after seven previous attempts, reports bdnews24.com.(Bangladesh Register Historic T20I Triumph Against Pakistan)
"More cannot be asked from a team. We have won playing well in all the matches. Playing better than this is not possible. We must improve more and fix our mistakes," Mashrafe said, adding that it was important to maintain the winning momentum before the Tests.(Pakistan Hope Zimbabwe is First Step Out of Wilderness)
"If we had lost, issues would've been raised. We have won it. We have proved we can win against the best team too. More importantly, we have proved we are consistent."
The skipper, however, warned his teammates that one T20I win will not change things much. If the players continue to work on their mistakes, Bangladesh will be a force to reckon with.
"We have once lost to Hong Kong. We have to improve a lot more (in T20 cricket)."
The two Asian countries will play two Test matches in Khulna (April 28-May 2) and Mirpur (May 6-10).
