With the ICC Under-19 World Cup scheduled for 2026 in Zimbabwe and Namibia, captain Tamim said the series results provide a major boost for the team.

“Alhamdulillah, we have played a good series,” Tamim told reporters on Tuesday.

“The World Cup will also take place there, that’s why we felt better to play well there,” he said.

“Yes, of course (we can win WC) and we are trying to prepare ourselves,” he added. “We are working hard for the last one year and preparing ourselves mentally and physically as we are going for the World Cup.”

“South Africa is a big team. The way we beat them on their soil, and then in Zimbabwe, will definitely build up our confidence,” he concluded.
