7.6
Mudassar Bukhari to Tamim Iqbal, 1 run, very full. Overpitched and Tamim drills a drive to long-on to keep strike
KD: "So, finally we have the 6000th dismissal in T20I with Soumya Sarkar being out!!!"
7.5
Mudassar Bukhari to Sabbir Rahman, 1 run, good length on middle and nurdled down to fine leg off the hip
7.4
Mudassar Bukhari to Sabbir Rahman, FOUR, bad bowling. Drifts down leg again and Sabbir helps it on its way to the fine leg boundary. Not a lot of bat but enough to clear the diving keeper
Sanchay: "You gotta be playing according to condition of the wicket and of course on merit of the ball. Just have patience...runs will be coming...don't expect to score 16 runs in every over."
7.3
Mudassar Bukhari to Tamim Iqbal, 1 run, low full toss on off, pushed to long-off
Sunny: "BD are repeating the same mistake they committed in the Asia Cup.. not scoring enough runs in the first 6... just 3 boundaries in the powerplay."
7.2
Mudassar Bukhari to Tamim Iqbal, FOUR, clever. Very clever. Good length but too much width with no third man present. Tamim bends his knees and opens the bat face to find the gap past short third man. Easily done
Murugan: "Hope Mahmudullah comes in ahead of Sakib and Mushfiqur.. He needs to play more overs for Bangladesh to create the platform. "
7.1
Mudassar Bukhari to Sabbir Rahman, 1 leg bye, starts off with a leg side delivery on a full length. The ball clips Sabbir's pads for a run to fine leg
Changes aplenty. Bukhari returns.
ACV: "After spending all these years in international cricket, Tamim's strike rate is still just 106.98, which is just about average for a T20 opener. He should show more aggression and consistency at the top."
