#1 Mehedi Hasan Miraz 6/82 vs England at Dhaka

Mehedi Hasan picked up 12 wickets in the contest at Dhaka

After the drubbing at Chittagong, Bangladesh’s morale had seen a downward trend, to say the least. Yet again, it was their lack of experience that robbed the Tigers of a win. It required a moment of inspiration for the Tigers to roar back and it came from the 19-year-old rookie in Mehedi Hasan Miraz.

Though he churned out six scalps in the first innings, it was his spell of 6/82 in the second innings that converted agony into jubilation for the Bangladesh cricket team. England was having a cruise with the score at 100/0 and one more time Bangladesh was on a verge of succumbing to pressure.

Mehedi Hasan came to their rescue and dragged his team to more than a respectable position in the match. Ben Stokes helped England snatch victory from the defeat in the first Test and threatened to repeat the same, but Mehedi and co held their nerves to their maiden Test victory against the British.
