improve. Dhoni said India needed to improve. India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni
urged his big-hitters to improve their run rate dramatically against Bangladesh
on Wednesday or face the prospect of a humiliating early exit from the World
Twenty20 on home soil.
The hosts are precariously
placed in fourth spot of Group Two after one defeat and one win. They
desperately need a big victory to strengthen their bid for a semi-finals berth.India's six-wicket victory
over arch-rivals Pakistan on Saturday will have boosted their confidence after
a shock 47-run defeat to New Zealand in their opening group match.But Dhoni
said India, who were firm favourites at the start of the tournament to lift a
second World T20 title, needed to improve to qualify from a tough group that
also includes Australia.
"I still feel there is
still scope for improvement and in the coming two games that will be our
priority," said the captain.New Zealand top the group on four points after
two wins while Pakistan, Australia and India all have two points. However
India's run rate, which could determine who qualifies, is considerably worse
than their rivals.
"In the first game our
run rate went down. So it's not only about winning but you have to take care of
the run-rate at some point," added Dhoni.
The hosts are seeking to
become the first country to win the World T20 title twice, after clinching the
crown in 2007, and also the first to win at home.
