6.6
van der Merwe to Tamim Iqbal, SIX, gone for six. Did not get it at all but the rarified air helps it over the long-off boundary. Tossed up wider outside off, Tamim dances down and goes through with the lofted drive. Just clears long-off
6.5
van der Merwe to Tamim Iqbal, no run, worked away to midwicket with the spin
6.4
van der Merwe to Tamim Iqbal, no run, really good bowling. Sees Tamim advancing and drags the length shorter, Tamim is nowhere near the pitch but adjusts to keep it out
6.3
van der Merwe to Sabbir Rahman, 1 run, worked away off his pads to midwicket. Nicely tossed up from van der Merwe. Not much spin though
 

Nitesh: "Is this similar pitch as that of Mirpur or the BD batsmen are assuming it to be. The score reads similar to the scores after 5th over in Mirpur during the recent Asiacup"

 
6.2
van der Merwe to Sabbir Rahman, no run, some flight, and late dip. Outside off and Sabbir skews the ball towards point
 

A slip

 
6.1
van der Merwe to Tamim Iqbal, 1 run, flat on middle from around the wicket. A hint of turn. Tamim tickles towards short fine leg
 

Spin, van der Merwe

subhojit: "If tamim survives for another 3 -4 overs he can really be dangerous..."
