'We shouldn't assume a win beforehand, upsets can happen' - warns Bangladesh coach ahead of Malaysia tie

Bangladesh assistant coach Mohammad Salahuddin has urged his squad to remain cautious ahead of their Asian Games quarter-final against Malaysia, emphasizing that complacency could lead to unexpected upsets. With tournament matches repeatedly contested on identical wickets, Salahuddin noted that winning the toss often becomes a critical factor in determining the outcome.

Looking back at a previous knockout meeting where Bangladesh narrowly defended a total of 116 to win by two runs, the coaching staff is preparing the team mentally to earn victory on the field rather than expecting an easy win. Led in the tournament by captain Litton Das, the squad also carries the expectations of the nation following the women team's medal-less campaign.
