<div style="text-align: justify; "><span style="font-size: 1rem;"><b>Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto led the Tigers to a 4-1 series win against Zimbabwe, but amidst the celebrations, he couldn't ignore the looming concerns ahead of his first World Cup as a full-time captain.</b></span><br></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Shanto admitted that Bangladesh's biggest worry is the fragility of their top-order batting. In today's final match in Mirpur, three of Bangladesh's top four batters scored a combined total of just 10 runs, with only one managing to reach double figures.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“If we can do better at the top of the order, it would be great for the team,” Shanto acknowledged during the post-series media interaction when asked about Bangladesh's primary concerns heading into the World Cup.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Momentum will be important for us. Rather than dwelling on the results of this series, we need to focus on moving forward,” he stressed the importance of a solid start. “If we can ensure a good start at the top, we will be one step ahead as a team.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Bangladesh World Cup squad is expected to be announced on Monday, and the likely inclusion of Litton Das, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, and Soumya Sarkar places significant pressure on them to deliver consistent performances.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Any two of them are likely to open the innings, with either Shanto or Towhid Hridoy at number three.
