This match is historical in every sense possible and Dhaka will be remembered in minds of millions for centuries to come. This match witnessed the most humongous moment of the cricket history when Sachin Tendulkar became the first man on the planet to score 100 international centuries.
In this match on back of Sachin Tendulkar’s 114 runs and half-centuries from Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina, India posted an improbable target of 290 for the home side. But, the Bangla tigers stunned the world when they chased down this gigantic total.
The pair of Tamim Iqbal and Jahurul Islam added 113 runs for the second wicket and laid down a solid platform upfront. Then the heroics of Nasir Hossain, Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib-al-Hasan proved too hot to handle for the Indian bowlers. The home side rallied to a 5-wicket win with 4 balls to spare.
