Tamim Iqbal is happy with the “tough cricket” Bangladesh played in their 2-0 ODI series win over Ireland in Chelmsford. After the washout in the first ODI, Bangladesh chased down 320 in a rain-curtailed 45 overs-a-side second ODI and then their bowlers rallied in the last nine overs to keep Ireland at bay in the third match.

Tamim Iqbal said –

“I thought throughout the series we played really tough cricket. Chasing 320 in 45 overs, regardless of the ground size or opposition, is a hard task. The way we batted was amazing. Today, it is a very special game for me ( Tamim ). We have always seen this kind of situation on the other side. We lost from such winning positions especially with the ball.”

Tamim added – “The bowling unit will get incredible confidence from this win. It wasn’t easy to defend 274 at this ground. I thought we did a great job. Miraz’s bowling inspired me to take a chance with Shanto. He took a wicket in the first over and so I continued with him. The match turned on its head in his three overs and Mustafizur’s overs.”
