Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh 2017: 2nd Test, 5 talking points

#3 Tamim Iqbal and Soumya Sarkar Bangladesh's best hope

Soumya Sarkar has been a great find for Bangladesh

Bangladesh seemed to have taken a huge positive out of this series with them finding a perfect opening pair. Soumya Sarkar and Tamim Iqbal have been instrumental for the visitors in every innings of the two Tests.

After two riveting stands of 118 and 67 in Galle, Sarkar and Tamim combined in yet another terrific stand of 95 to kick start Bangladesh's response to Sri Lanka's first innings total. Tamim then played a sensational knock in the second to guide Bangladesh home.

The two have been near perfect but it would benefit Bangladesh more if one of them can go and make a big hundred when getting starts. As of now, Sarkar has displayed a tendency to waste starts with him even expressing it publicly quite a few times. If he can correct that, Bangladesh will have one less tension.
