Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto emphasized on executing the plans with a 'cool mind' to make a good start to the T20 World Cup as his side gears up for Sri Lankan challenge.

The Tigers have been in the receiving end following their consistently bad performance but there was hype that they could beat Sri Lanka in their opening game.

The belief was basically bolstered by Sri Lanka's abysmal performance in their first game against South Africa. They tasted a six-wicket defeat after being bowled out for just 77 and the manner in which they lost is believed to make them morally down.

However, Shanto wants to focus on their game only, rather than thinking about Sri Lanka much.

"We are not thinking about what they think, what they are going through their mind but we are thinking about ourselves and play with our strength and yes, they didn't have a good match but we are not thinking about how they feel," Shanto said ahead of the game.

"All four matches are important in the tournament. I personally don't want to see this match (against Sri Lanka) differently. Of course, it is a very important match and we all know that. So, instead of thinking much, it is very important to execute as we have prepared and the plan we have made. It is important how we can execute the plans with a cool mind on that particular day."

Shanto knew well that Sri Lanka will come all guns blazing, considering the game as 'do or die' match but he said, that doesn't bother him much as he is focused on to execute their plan well.

"The match will be very challenging for both teams. But the team that plays well on that day will win. It is a very important match for both teams. But as I said earlier, we should focus on executing the plan we have made without thinking much. We should not look too much in the front instead it is very important to be in the present moment. Everyone has prepared well. I hope everyone will execute the plan well," he remarked.
