Tamim’s record is also the record of Bangladesh

Tamim has done almost everything that can be recorded from this match alone. As the only batsman in Bangladesh, he has scored multiple centuries in two different series. Of course, the other record is not a century, he has already set a quarter century. Darren Lehmann (205) holds the record for the most runs scored by a visiting team in the West Indies in a three-match series. Tamim, who has scored 164 runs in the previous two matches, has done so in the tenth over of the innings.

Tamim lost his opening partner before that record. There is no terrible bounce on the pitch, no leak of swing, no one in the opponent’s bowling line-up. Even in such a situation when Enamul Haque is out for 10 runs, 31 balls are shining next to the name! Have a four, hit in the second over of the innings. Otherwise, the strike rate would have been more alarming.

After Enamul’s departure, the responsibility fell on the Tamim-Sakib duo for the third time in the series. He understood the responsibility well. Tamim has settled the innings slowly as in the previous two matches. On the other hand, it is not that Shakib made a storm, but he was rotating the strike and leading almost every run of the ball. The screenplay is the same as the previous matches. Shakib went back to 36 runs to remove the pressure of quick runs. The second wicket partnership stopped at 61 runs. Mushfiqur Rahim could not pull the form of the previous two matches in this match. Mushfiqur (12) also returned after crossing the team.

Tamim has slowed down even in the rush of his comrades to come and go. After Mahmudullah took the wicket, the speed of scoring also increased. Bangladesh reached 200 in the 39th over. Waiting for the last 10 overs to take the storm. This is the average of 296 in the first innings of the last few days in this field. Mahmudullah is batting well at one end, while Tamim has already scored his 11th ODI century. But he is hopeless. Tamim said goodbye after two hundred touches of the team! The innings of 6 balls and 2 sixes was stopped by 124 balls.

If we consider the previous two matches, the story of Bangladesh’s innings could have stopped here. But leaving Sabbir-Mosaddeq seated, Mashrafe came up in the lineup. That changed the look of the last 10 overs. The captain made 36 runs off 25 balls. The pair of 53 runs in 6 overs gave Mahmudullah a great foundation to take the last storm. Bangladesh scored 48 runs in the last 4 overs. L 19 runs in the 49th over. After Sabbir’s two fours in a row, Mahmudullah took the score to 269 with one six and one four in the last two balls. Mosaddeq’s record in the last over was four, Bangladesh surpassed their own record of highest runs (292) against the West Indies.

Mosaddeq (11) and Mahmudullah left the field only after the team crossed the 300 mark. Of course, the credit goes to Mahmudullah. He hit 5 fours and 3 sixes on his way to make 6 runs from 49 balls. In the second six, he picked up fifty off 44 balls.
