Bangladesh entered the field in the second ODI of the series against Ireland. After losing the toss and batting, Bangladesh played carefully from the start. Captain Tamim Iqbal and Liton Das have formed an opening partnership of 42 runs. In the beginning, Tamim batted at a slow pace, but gradually came out of the shell and tried to increase the pace of runs. The skipper was run out in the last ball of the 10th over after taking a quick single. He returned to the dressing room after scoring 23 runs off 31 balls.

Although he did not play a very impactful inning in terms of runs, Tamim reached a unique milestone in these 23 runs. This opener’s total runs in international cricket are now 15 thousand. The ODI captain has reached this milestone as the first cricketer of Bangladesh. Tamim made his debut in international cricket in February 2007. The star opener began to steal the limelight from the ODI World Cup in Sebar. Tamim played 236 matches in ODI cricket. He is the country’s highest run scorer in this format with 8169 runs. Tamim’s runs in Tests are more than 5000. The star opener scored 5082 runs in 132 innings at an average of 39. The average of the star opener in T20, the smallest format of cricket, is slightly lower. He scored 1758 runs at an average of 24 overs in the format. However, Tamim has already retired from this format.
