I was confident about victory: Shanto

Bangladesh achieved a memorable win of 150 runs in the first game of the two-match Test series against New Zealand under the captaincy of Najmul Hossain Shanto.

The stand-in captain of the Tigers had given a glimpse of the win before the beginning of the match. Even he had promised to seal the series.
The half of the job has been done after an outstanding victory in Sylhet. The rest of the task will have to be done in Dhaka.

"This is always a nice feeling to win a game and that too as a captain in the first match. I personally think we played as a team and played very good cricket over the last five days," Shanto said after the game.

He said, "I was very clear about the victory. I said that not to motivate anyone but to win the series. This belief was sustained in all of the players."

"We are playing in our own condition which suites our strength well. I think it is possible to win the series. The job is now half done and one match is left. It's not that we'll now go to the second game and win it straightway. You have to work hard. Those five days will be difficult again. I hope that we can improve and win the next match," Shanto added.
