The stand-in skipper acknowledged the difficulty of playing Zimbabwe in their domestic environment but maintained belief in his roster's strengths.
"Zimbabwe are a good team in their home conditions. There are challenges but we know our strengths and hopefully will bounce back," said Hridoy.
Hridoy reiterated the unpredictable nature of T20 cricket and the importance of executing plans effectively on the day.

"Well look, there are two sides of the game—either we lose or we win, but it's a different format and a different venue so if we play good cricket then hopefully we will get (our desired) result," said Hridoy.
He expanded on Bangladesh's capabilities, citing positive performances in past international series as a benchmark.
"In home conditions, Zimbabwe is a good team.
There is a little bit of challenge here and there but we know our strength so hopefully we will bounce back from the mistakes.
We have a strong side.
In the last few series, we played really good cricket, so if we maintain this tempo then obviously we will get the results," said Hridoy.
The captain emphasized the need to secure early control in the abbreviated game.
"We will try to take the momentum early. You know it is a shorter format and a different ball game," said Hridoy.
Hridoy concluded by stressing a focused, short-term approach to the tour's remaining matches.
"Everything has a process. It will be wise to think about one match at a time.
As we have a match tomorrow, I want to focus on that," said Hridoy.
