It's been great (the support from fans) throughout this World Cup. They have been supporting us from the first game and luckily we have started well and they gave been supporting us all through so far. Hopefully it will continue in the next few games as well. Five wickets obviously (which was special). It was important to bat deep and I had to really work hard for my 50 runs. Without Mushy (Rahim) we would not have got where we got. Others chipped in with the bat as well. Overall, it's a team effort and we know its gonna get tough with three spinners. Before this World Cup, I was fully prepared; it's the best I have prepared and its paying off. A combination of hardwork and luck I guess (about his form in this tournament). Two more important games are coming up for us. India and Pakistan, we have to play to the best of our ability to win those matches but this win will give us a lot of confidence.

Bangladesh 262/7 in 50 overs against Afghanistan in Southampton

Mosaddek Hossain:

I think these are not ideal conditions for batsmen. So I think our batsmen did really well and 262 is a really challenging score. They (Shakib and Rahim) batted really well and adjusted to the pitch beautifully. (On his cameo) I was just trying to hit every ball and fortunately it paid off. Not an easy track to start on, it's a bit slow early on and not easy to play shots.

Captains at the toss
Naib: We want to bowl first. Conditions look good for bowling and we played a game here, so we know the pitch. In the second innings against India, it looked alright throughout and this looks similar. We want to restrict Bangladesh to a chaseable total. We had a good chance to beat India and we're confident that we can do better today.

Mortaza: We like to bat first as it's a used pitch, so want to put runs on the board. Two changes - Saifuddin and Mosaddek in for Rubel and Sabbir. The pitch here has been different from the others, has been slow and spun a bit. It's a used pitch as I said and that's why we wanted to bat.

Team News
: A couple of changes for both the teams. Mohammad Saifuddin and Mosaddek Hossain replace Rubel Hossain and Sabbir Rahman in Bangladesh playing XI. For Afghanistan, Dawlat Zadran and Samiullah Shenwari come in for Aftab Alam and Hazratullah Zazai.
