Motivated Bangladesh face Indonesia tomorrow

DHAKA, May 28, 2024 (BSS)- After a thumping victory over South Korea and 
Malaysia, motivated Bangladesh face Indonesia in their third match of the 
fourth edition of Bangabandhu Cup International Kabaddi tournament scheduled 
to be held tomorrow (Wednesday) at Shaheed Suhrawardy Indoor Stadium at 
Mirpur. 
 
Private satellite channel T-sports will telecast the match live that kicks 
off at 4 pm. 
 
Prior to the third match, Bangladesh coach Abdul Jalil was found very much 
optimistic about winning the third match against Indonesia. 

He said: "We want to win every match and take to the field with a plan like 
this. The same things also have been planned against Indonesia. I am not 
thinking about anything other than winning. After winning two matches in a 
row, the team is now in good shape and I can say that the way the team is 
playing, we'll go to the next round as the best in the group."

Commenting about the opponents, Jalil said his team does not have much 
experience of playing against Indonesia but the coach termed Indonesia as a 
tough opponent in this tournament. Not only Indonesia, each participating 
team of this tournament is strong in his eyes. However, the coach is only 
focusing his team own performance rather than the opponents.

Despite playing consecutive matches, Bangladesh has no injury problem. Abdul 
Jalil confirmed that everyone in the team is healthy and sound. 

He said the main team played against South Korea and in the second match 
against Malaysia, he gave more opportunities to the players who were on the 
reserve bench keeping mind it that his team has to be played more matches in 
the tournament.

The Bangladesh coach Abdul Jalil is aiming to retain the title of fourth 
edition of this tournament but before he wants to confirm the semi-final spot 
for the team. About the tournament the coach of the red and greens said all 
the best teams, except India and Iran, have participated in the Bangabandhu 
Cup International Kabaddi. So it can be said that how important and 
challenging the tournament is.

Bangladesh Captain experienced raider Arduzzaman Munshi is also found in a 
happy mood after winning two consecutive matches in the tournament.

Ahead of the match against Indonesia he said: "We are not thinking about 
anything other than winning against Indonesia... not only Indonesia, we want 
to win all the matches in the whole tournament... We want to win the title 
and also expecting support from our fans."
