In a historic victory against New Zealand on Saturday, Bangladesh secured a significant milestone by achieving their first-ever win at the opposition's ground, marking a turnaround from their previous 18 One Day Internationals (ODIs) against the same opponent, all of which ended in losses. The key to this success lay in the outstanding performance of Bangladesh's pacers, namely Shariful Islam, Tanjim Hasan Shakib, and Soumya Sarkar, who collectively dismissed the opponents for a mere 98 runs, preventing the losing streak from extending to 19 matches.
Shariful Islam set the tone for the innings, delivering a fiery bowling performance by taking 3 wickets for 22 runs in his 7 overs. Tanjim Hasan Shakib, a budding pacer, proved his mettle with a career-best bowling display, claiming 3 wickets for 14 runs in his 7 overs, including two maiden overs. Additionally, Soumya Sarkar, recognized as a 'part-time' medium pacer, contributed significantly by taking 3 wickets for 18 runs in 6 overs, including a maiden.
Despite the equal contribution of the three pacers in terms of wickets, Tanzim Hasan Shakib was awarded the Man of the Match for his outstanding bowling performance. Expressing his delight, he stated, "Really happy with my performance. The way I started was good for me. Really enjoyed bowling. The ball was going in, along with the seam moving. Set the tone of the party. I tried to bowl wicket to wicket along the line and length. The rest of the work is pitched. It helped me. It was a great pitch for the pacers."
