Having gained a rare advantage over opponents India, Bangladesh captain, Mashrafe Mortaza, insisted that the hosts are not putting unnecessary pressure on themselves to go for a series sweep.
Bangladesh go into the 3rd ODI vs India, having beaten the visitors in the first two matches and register a comprehensive series win.
"There is no pressure, nobody told us ahead of the match that we will win this series 2-0. India also said that we have nothing to lose, so now we will just come on the field
and enjoy. If we do that the result will be there. But we are not worried or thinking about a whitewash. We are just hoping to do our best," he said.
The all-rounder though does not want to stay complacent and has warned the team against any slack going into the final ODI.
"Look, consistency was our biggest problem. At the moment things are going well for us and I hope it will continue. In cricket, momentum is very important. Hopefully the boys will keep it up.
"There were a lot of challenges in the last 15 years but keeping this form is going to be a greater challenge for us. I think it's a good pressure. When you win everything comes out well. Hopefully the boys will now deliver regularly," Mortaza had said after the team's historic series win against India on Sunday.
