#2 Tamim Iqbal coming out to bat with a broken wrist

A Real Tiger

Fans expected the Bangladesh innings to conclude when they lost their ninth wicket in the form of tail-ender Mustafizur Rahman against the Lankans. To everyone’s disbelief, Tamim Iqbal, retired hurt earlier having injured his left wrist by a bouncer from Suranga Lakmal came out to bat.

Tamim’s unbelievable batting display lasted for a brief time of three overs but that made a humongous impact on the match’s outcome.

He had to go to the hospital instantaneously from the stadium to find out if there was any fracture. A report hinted that the worst had already transpired which has made Tamim’s presence in the Super 4 uncertain.

After Tamim came to the wicket, Mushfiqur Rahim added a decisive 32 runs consisting of three fours and three maximums. This helped the Bangla side to put up a total of 261 runs on the board that gave the Bangladeshi bowlers an appropriate amount of runs to restrict the Sri Lankan batsmen.
