"We are taking a lot of positives from the tournament as we have a played the final which is a huge achievement. But in two days we have a qualifying match in the World T20. We have to be mentally ready and ensure that this final loss does not affect us," Mortaza said.
He urged the Bangladeshi supporters to be a bit more patient. "I know they had all kept their work aside and expected that we gift them a memorable victory. But we have a good team and these prayers have been with us. We would request them to be patient with us. "Today had we scored 20 runs more, the contest would have been more even," Mortaza said.
