Can Tigers set record straight?

Bishwajit Roy
Impossible is a word that the Tigers defied in their on-going home series against New I Zealand so far. After a creditable draw in the two-Tests, Mushfiqur Rahim’s men lived up to their fast growing reputation as a formidable ODI unit on home soil by completing a 3-0 clean sweep.
And today, the Tigers will embark on their final combat of the series - the loneT20 international -against the Kiwis at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur. This last encounter will allow the Tigers to not only to sign off a year on a high but also answer to a perplexing question.
Why Bangladesh are yet to adapt with the new format? Will the Tigers purge the mystery today?
True, the records in the game's shortest version hardly speaks in favour of the Tigers - they have lost 21 out of 30 matches including a couple against the Black Caps quite badly. Besides, Bangladesh have lost six of their last seven matches.
But the new breed ofTigers that demonstrated a kind of consistency and hunger for success so far in the series is certainly poised for yet another treat for the passionate home fans for a fitting end of a fairy-tale series - dominance in all formats of the game against a higher-ranked side.
The home captain however has played down the hype ata pre-match briefing yesterday. But like
many others the inspirational Bangladesh skipper is well aware of the fact that his confident team will be vying against a side that is mentally shattered more then physically.
Besides, an animated discussion was going all around about who will pop up as a new hero, which has been the case for the home team in every match of the series so far. Under the leadership of Mushfiqur, the team has been so concentrated in their effort that the absence of two stalwarts Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal, who will also miss the T20 match due to injury, wasn't even felt.
Many believe that the Tigers have not yet performed as per their potential in the latest version of the game and in this contest they can turn the table on their opponents, which will auger well for them ahead of next year's T20 World Cup on home soil.
On the other hand New Zealand is considered as a skilled unit in this format and despite the absence of dangerman Brandon McCullum, who demolished the Tigers in their last engagement in Twenty20 World Cup in Sri Lanka with a hundred, they have been bolstered by some good allrounders. But the Kiwis will have to overcome a confident and versatile side if they want to go home with some solace - a win in the final game. The positive thing about the visitors was that their batting came to the party in the final ODI at
