Bangladesh lost the first Test against South Africa in Mirpur. The second and final Test match of the series begins on Tuesday. The venue of the match is Chittagong again Naeem Hasan's home ground. Although this offspinner's performance in Mirpur or other venues is average, Naeem's performance in Chittagong is excellent. That's why his voice was full of excitement. Naeem from Chittagong said that everyone in the team is desperate to win the second match. This offspinner himself wants to give everything in the match with his own ground ball.
Naeem made his debut at Zahoor Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong. He took 5 wickets in the first match. After that he got 6 wickets in the last test match in 2022. Chittagong is giving Naeem two hands. But Naeem's recent performance is not good. No wicket was seen in the last three innings. Naeem is more confident because it is his home ground. In response to a question, he said, “Of course, it is very nice to play on my home ground. I have played before, Alhamdulillah two fifers of my career are here. When I played the last match I got 6 wickets in this ground. I am preparing everything that is needed on the field, I am working on the mistakes that happened in the last match so that it does not happen again. I will try to give my hundred percent if I get a chance here (Chittagong). I think the wicket here will be different from the one in Mirpur. InshaAllah our spinners are in very good shape by the grace of Allah. Taijul Bhai, Miraj Bhai; Inshallah we will get a good result.'
Naeem thinks that if everyone in the team focuses on everyone's performance, then it is possible to bring results for themselves, 'I will try to win the match with my hundred percent, if I am in the eleven. I will try to win the match. If everyone believes that – I will win the match. Then those who will click will win the match Inshallah. I will try to play a role in winning the match at home.
Bangladesh lost the first test due to batting failure in Mirpur. The hosts are hoping to win the match by keeping the process right in Chittagong. Naeem said, 'Alhamdulillah we are all optimistic, we will play to win. Actually should play good cricket. We have to think about the result after five days, we have to try to do one hundred percent.'
Apart from offspin, Naeem is also good at batting. As a tailender, he reigned in 22 yards. Naeem said about batting, 'I try to think of myself as a batsman when I come out to bat. You will see that if there is a partnership in the lower order, the momentum of the opposing team changes.'
