Yes, it is true and that is exactly the kind of support all sub continental teams enjoy when anywhere in the world. Currently, Bangladesh is taking on the mighty Australians in the ICC Champions Trophy 2017. Tamim Iqbal has been in red-hot form, in the first game he got to a century, 128 to be precise, still ended up on the losing side. Today, Bangladesh won the toss and opted to bat first on a batting paradise. They did not get off to the best of starts as they lost Soumya Sarkar and Imrul Kayes early, they also lost their captain Mushfiqur Rahim. Bangladesh was reeling but Tamim Iqbal was there and he was looking all set for a big one. He went on to get a well-deserved half century and as we speak he is on 58 and going strong.
