Bangladesh opener Tamim Iqbal
‘Thinking only about cricket’
For both Bangladesh and hosts Sri Lanka, the importance of winning the upcoming three-match ODI series between the sides was made clear during the grand pre-series press conference at the Taj Samudra Hotel in Colombo yesterday.
Reward for the hard work and game plan: Wagner
New Zealand pacer Neil Wagner said his five wickets were the just reward for the hard work he put in, especially bowling short deliveries and putting in a lot of effort into his overs, after getting Bangladesh bowled out cheaply on a decent wicket to bat on on the first day of the Hamilton Test.
Only ourselves to blame: Tamim
Bangladesh opener Tamim Iqbal said they have only themselves to blame after folding for 234 despite making an excellent start in the first Test against New Zealand in Hamilton today. The left-hander, who got out for a 128-ball 126, saw his teammates giving their wickets away cheaply on a surface which looked greenish but offered little assistance to the bowlers.
Mash, Tamim take Scenic route
Bangladesh ODI skipper Mashrafe Bin Mortaza and Tamim Iqbal were the last two members of the squad to reach the Scenic Hotel in Napier to join the team after a car journey of over six hours from Auckland yesterday.
I was using Mashrafe bhai’s tactics, says Tamim
Bangladesh and Comilla Victorians batsman Tamim Iqbal said that he took a leaf out of Mashrafe Bin Mortaza’s book to infuse not only imbue himself with confidence but also the team.
Tamim explodes Dynamites
Dhaka Dynamites had everything a T20 team would want in their arsenal to win the final of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). Yesterday, however, Comilla Victorians had something better in the form of a single player.
Rangpur riding high
Mashrafe Bin Mortaza's Rangpur Riders look to have hit top gear when it matters most, confirming first place in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) with a whopping nine-wicket victory over Comilla Victorians in their last league match at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium yesterday.
Haven’t been this nervous in 7-8 years: Tamim
After scoring a match-winning 42-ball 73, Comilla Victorians’ opener Tamim Iqbal came to the post-match press conference and said, after two consecutive ducks, he was ‘very nervous’ before taking the crease.
Tamim’s wicket the ‘most valuable’ for Mash
Mashrafe Bin Mortaza caused a top-order collapse for Comilla Victorians with his spell, picking up the wickets of four top-order batsmen. He removed the likes of Evin Lewis and Steve Smith but it was his Bangladesh teammate Tamim Iqbal’s wicket which held the most value for the Rangpur skipper.
‘Hope Tamim comes out of his shell in T20s as well’
Bangladesh opener Tamim Iqbal has been in a fantastic vein of form in ODIs throughout 2018, having played many memorable knocks and was able to hone his abilities, often performing the role of anchor, to revel against West Indies, hitting two hundreds and a fifty in three matches as Bangladesh won their first away series in nine years.
Tigers take ODI series
Buoyed by a century from Tamim Iqbal, some good bowling and work in the field coupled with the West Indies' struggles in the middle overs, Bangladesh secured a somewhat nervy 18-run win in the series-deciding ODI in Basseterre to seal a 2-1 win yesterday.
Tamim's 'special' toil
One stat hints at Tamim Iqbal's importance to Bangladesh cricket -- of his 10 ODI centuries, seven have come in winning causes. His performance during his most recent century, the 160-ball 130 that set up Bangladesh's 48-run win over West Indies in Sunday's first ODI, holds ample evidence of why the team's success is often allied with Tamim's.
