Tamim notched up a century and two fifties

The veteran left-hander turned out to be Bangladesh's best batsman. Tamim started off with a steady 128 off 142 balls against England but his team ended up losing.

Next, versus Australia, he scored 95 and his only failure came against New Zealand where he got out for 0.

Once more, in the semis against India, he scored a decent 70 but post his dismissal, the side lost momentum and failed to set a big target ultimately resulting in their elimination.

The 28-year-old was the leading run-scorer in the competition until Shikhar Dhawan took over. Tamim managed 293 runs in four innings at an average of 73.25 and a strike rate of 86.18.
