Mission accomplished
Shoaib M. Siddiqui Dhaka City College, Dhaka
They chased, and they chased in a devastating fashion that completely shattered the iron wall of Zimbabwean defence. What an emphatic win it was! The whole nation was geared up after their fine performance in the last match at Bangabandhu National Stadium. The Tigers were down 0-2 in the series at one stage. Many people became worried but the Tigers bounced back and made history as it is only the second time in the history that a side has won a five match series after trailing 0-2.There was huge pressure on the team as they lost the toss but they were confident. After a wonderful show of bowling, the boys came to bat. It was a great moment for any Bangladeshi who watched the batting of veteran Rafiq and the young Aftab. They recorded the highest run partnership and sailed the team towards the heavenly shore of victory. How blistering the moment was, when captain Bashar scored the winning run. The whole country was in a rustling bustling mood. They danced and cheered the huge victory. All credit goes to the Tigers who really proved that we have something to be proud of. ***Congratulations to BD cricket team for this resounding victory over Zimbabwe. This was definitely the most satisfying innings I have ever watched. Following the score online at Cricinfo, I could only envy the spectators who watched Rafiq and Aftab in action live. Congratulations again to the team for the comprehensive win of the tour and thanks to Dave Whatmore! Shafqat Seattle
