Bangladesh recently played a tri-series against New Zealand and Pakistan in New Zealand which Shakib thinks has helped the team understand where they need to improve.
"I think we've prepared very well. We were in Christchurch where we played four games against two very good sides, so we know the things that we need to do in order to be able to perform well here in Australia. And I think we have prepared enough to do well," he concluded.
Bangladesh lost all the matches in the tri-series but their final outing against Pakistan will help the Tigers see a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. Skipper Shakib showed played two brilliant 60+ innings with the bat.
Bangladesh will play Afghanistan and South Africa in their official warm-up matches on 17 and 19 October respectively before starting their World Cup campaign on the 24th.
