Bangladesh followed up Sunday's 4-1 win over the South Asians with a 2-0 triumph on Thursday as centre-back Yeasin Khan fired a brace at the Bangabandhu National Stadium.
With fixtures against Qatar and India looming in their FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 and AFC Asian Cup China 2023 qualifying campaign, Day was pleased his side will take winning form into the challenging fixtures.
"Really pleased with the boys for back-to-back wins and also keeping the clean-sheet," said Day to local media.
"They worked hard to get the wins and it will give them confidence before going to face Qatar.
"We have a week left to get ready for the tough game ahead. Now we want to focus solely on Qatar,” added Day.
Bangladesh will face reigning AFC Asian Cup champions Qatar on Thursday in the knowledge they need a positive result after opening their campaign with a 1-0 defeat to Afghanistan.
The South Asians considered themselves unlucky not to have at least shared the points against Afghanistan and despite the obvious challenge Qatar pose, Day will be counting on his players to stand tall against Felix Sanchez's side.
Qatar's winning streak against Asian teams in 2019 was halted by India when the two played to a 0-0 draw on Matchday Two, with the West Asians having kicked off their campaign with a resounding 6-0 win over Afghanistan.
Bangladesh will travel to Kolkata for the match against India on October 15.
