Shakib Al Hasan believes the momentum of the team needs to be changed in the next match.

"We were beaten in all three departments," Shakib said after the defeat. "There are a lot of areas we need to work on in the next five days. It is very tough adapting to these conditions as it is not easy and we're not used to this. We need to mentally prepare ourselves in the next five days and be ready."
