Tamim Iqbal, the new Jayasuriya
18-year-old opener, Tamim Iqbal, started the proceedings for Bangladesh in flamboyant style. He was all over the Indian pacers wielding his bat like a sword. A six off Zaheer Khan over mid-wicket whilst coming down the wicket dancing stamped his class and Bangladesh knew that they had found a superstar.
Tamim raced to a fine half-century as Bangladesh raced to 69 in 13 overs. Munaf Patel had Tamim caught behind to halt the minnows' progress but they had another young talent in Mushfiqur Rahim at the crease.
Munaf Patel was the only Indian bowler to command any semblance of respect as he got the new ball to move around. Zaheer had his moments against Tamim's partner but the 18-year-old was all over the Indian pacer.
