T20 World Cup: Following their 28-run defeat via DLS to Australia in their first Super 8 match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto is hopeful of progressing to the semifinal stage as he said his side will be better placed if they can win their remaining two games.

Bangladesh will next play against India on June 22 and Afghanistan on June 25, which will be must-win encounters if they want to keep their hopes alive of reaching the semifinal.

"The next two games are important and if we can gain a lot from it and if we can win the next two games we will be placed in a better position. We will play to win every game," Shanto said after the loss against Australia on Friday.
