DHAKA: Veteran India opener Shikhar Dhawan on Tuesday said that it's not for the first time that they have lost the first game of the series and the team knows how to bounce back, adding that the side is confident of making a strong comeback against Bangladesh in the must-win second One-Day International here on Wednesday.

During the first ODI on Sunday, Bangladesh were 136/9 in 39.3 overs in their chase of 187 but lower-order batters Mehidy Hasan and Mustafizur Rahman stitched an unbroken 51-run stand for the last wicket and guided their team to the victory.

"Of course, we're very, very confident about tomorrow's game. This is not the first time we have lost the first game in a series. This is quite normal, we know how to bounce back from these situations," Dhawan said in the pre-match press conference.

"In the team meeting, we analysed where we need to improve. Surely, we will create more impact in the coming games. We are very positive and in a good space, we are looking forward to it," he added. (IANS)
