    "editor1": "<p>June 20&nbsp;(CRICKETNMORE) - Confidence in abundance and a dressing room full of believers means Bangladesh are a side to watch out for according to captain Mashrafe Mortaza.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Tigers are back roaring in the ICC Men&rsquo;s Cricket World Cup after a seven-wicket win over West Indies last time out kept their semi-final chances well and truly alive.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>But when it comes to holding their own, Bangladesh are far from done there with defending champions Australia in their sights in an exciting Trent Bridge tussle on Thursday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Not since 2005 have Mashrafe&rsquo;s side beaten Australia in an ODI &ndash; with the skipper himself one of the stars of the show when dismissing Adam Gilchrist for a duck in Cardiff.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Fourteen years on and progression has been all to see for the 35-year-old and his side, with a new-found mentality a key factor in their confidence ahead of the Nottingham clash.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&ldquo;I know a few players are in our dressing room who believe we can beat anybody,&rdquo; said Mashrafe. &ldquo;But against Australia, it won&#39;t be easy, for sure, especially the conditions and the form they are in.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after:always\"><span style=\"display:none\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>&ldquo;It won&#39;t be easy. But, as I said, these boys can believe, especially if you had a good start, you never know. So let&#39;s see. We&#39;ll fight and you never know.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&ldquo;It won&#39;t be easy like other match, it&rsquo;s the same with any match, but the confidence is the main thing, which bowlers have right at the moment.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&ldquo;I think if we took that confidence into the ground and deliver to our best and we can assess the wicket very well. You never know.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&ldquo;West Indies was a must-win game for us. Losing points against New Zealand and England, and the wash-out against Sri Lanka, this was much needed and the boys are pretty much confident.&rdquo;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Lots of Bangladesh&rsquo;s recent success has been down to Shakib Al Hasan, with the man atop the MRF Tyres ICC ODI Rankings for all-rounders leading the way with the bat this tournament.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>No man has scored more than his 384 runs this World Cup with his unbeaten 124 the key factor in the seven-wicket win over West Indies which kept alive their semi-final hopes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>But captain Mashrafe, whose side also beat South Africa for their first win of the tournament, insists his charges are not over-reliant on one man.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He added: &ldquo;I wouldn&#39;t say it&#39;s a one-man army. Shakib is scoring runs; that&#39;s a great thing for the team. But if you look at it, the other boys have stepped up.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&ldquo;Mustafizur Rahman got some wickets, Mohammad Saifuddin comes in and took the wicket of Chris Gayle early, we all know what he can do.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&ldquo;So it&#39;s not been a one-man army, but Shakib has been doing outstandingly. Some other bowlers have to step up a little bit with what Shakib is doing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&ldquo;We really appreciate what Shakib is doing, and some of the other bowlers with what they&rsquo;ve done, and we hope it will be carried on from here. It will be great to see.&rdquo;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>ICC<\/p>\r\n",
