Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal thanked fast bowler Taskin Ahmed to give the senior cricketers like him, Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim a special occasion to exalt.
Taskin on Wednesday claimed 5-35 to script Bangladesh’s 9 wicket win over South Africa in the series deciding third match at SuperSport Park in Centurion. The victory helped Tigers claim the three-match series 2-1 and it’s the first time, they won a series on South Africa soil. Bangladesh earlier win a series in West Indies and Zimbabwe but South Africa is the first genuine top cricketing nation whom they could beat at away. Tamim therefore termed the series victory as huge achievement for the country. “I am a very proud man, especially with a Bangladeshi fast bowler getting a five-for, winning the series [for us] and winning the Player of the Series award.”
