No excuses would have been good enough if we had lost. We have won, that&rsquo;s what&#39;s important. Winning a match is always comforting, regardless of the opposition,&quot; Mashrafe said after the match on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Opener Tamim Iqbal played a brilliant knock before the bowlers helped Bangladesh to defend 153. Mashrafe was very pleased with their efforts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Tamim and the bowlers performed really well. The way Tamim batted was outstanding.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>It has been almost a year since Bangladesh had last played in conditions outside their home turf.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Reaching Dharamsala two days before the opener, Bangladesh had only a day to prepare while injury concerns, difficulty in coping with the conditions and reading the wicket compounded their woes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>But Mashrafe and his men overcame all odds to prevail over the Netherlands.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;The situation today was much different from what we had thought it would be. We have been able to overcome that.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We thought the wicket will be fast and bouncy. But it was slow. It was very difficult to play shots. I hope we will be able to play the next match with more confidence.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bangladesh will take on Ireland on Friday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Agency<\/strong><br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
