New Zealand uncapped cricketer Rachin Ravindra is of the opinion that there needs to be a “mental shift” if the team wants to perform in Bangladesh. He further added that scoring at a run rate of 6 in Bangladesh is a “good result”.
''Yes, definitely (we need to have the mental shift). Maybe getting six runs per over is a good result here whereas in New Zealand facing a spinner if you are taking 8-10 runs then that is a good result,'' Ravindra said after the opening day session.
The bilateral tie between Bangladesh and Australia earlier didn’t really witness any high-scoring game and mentioning about the same Ravindra admitted that staying at the crease will fetch runs eventually.
“If we consider their series against the Aussies, the par-score was 130, so, I guess we should bring down our expectations a little, and understand, that maybe, if they bowl, a couple of dots, then it's okay as long as you are in the middle you can make it up,'' he said.
The Blackcaps will be up against Bangladesh in a five-match T20I series that is scheduled to begin on September 1 in Dhaka. All the fixtures of the series will be played at the same venue.
