Bangladesh's cricket captain, Najmul Hossain Shanto, maintains optimism despite the team's defeat to Zimbabwe in the fifth T20 game, citing the series as an opportunity for experimentation ahead of the upcoming T20 World Cup.

While acknowledging Zimbabwe's strong performance, Shanto stresses the importance of learning from the series to identify areas for improvement. Specifically, he highlights the need for a better batting display from the top order, expressing confidence in their ability to find their form before the World Cup.

 

Throughout the series, certain players exhibited consistency, including opener Tanzid Hasan Tamim and middle-order batsman Towhid Hridoy, while veteran Mahmudullah displayed flashes of brilliance but struggled for consistency.
