They lost the opening Test by a huge 256 runs margin Sri Lanka were all over them and playing away from home the Bangladeshi team was pretty much discounted to make much of a difference against the hosts who beat Australia 3-0 in these conditions. But like they have so often done in recent past Bangladesh made a remarkable comeback in the second Test their 100th match in the format and went on to script a fabulous victory to level the series.

With their first Test win in Sri Lanka Mushfiqur Rahim & Co. have shown they are not just capable of winning at home but are a competitive side away as well.

Opener Tamim Iqbal was the player who rose to the occasion for the team in both the innings. He gave them a really good start with a half century in the very first inning he scored 57 in the 1st inning of 1st Test but couldn’t quite make it count in the second and was dismissed for just 19.

In the second match he missed out on a half century by just a run in the first knock but the second inning when it mattered the most Tamim answered the team’s call and played a splendid 82-run knock to script the team’s win. He was the Man of the Match in the second Test.
