"Yes, you can say undoubtedly [that this has been Bangladesh's worst World Cup in recent memory]. I won't disagree," Shakib said in the post-match press conference.
Shakib told Kass Naidoo after the match in the post-match presentation that he doesn't know what's going on in the minds of the players. In the press conference, he had no answer when he was asked about Bangladesh's lacklustre performance in the World Cup.
"I don't know why [Bangladesh are playing so badly]. If I had the answer, we would have done well. I don't have the answer," he said.
