Sports Desk: The first Test of the series against Sri Lanka was drawn at Pallekele yesterday. As a result, the Bangladesh cricket team has seen the first point in the World Test Championship. Although these two finalists are scheduled, these 30 points will not be of any use. However, opener Tamim Iqbal broke the 131-year record in Bangladesh’s first point power match. Playing two innings of 90 and 74 runs, he is floating in praise.

Bangladesh declared their first innings at 541 for 7 at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. In reply Sri Lanka scored 648 runs for 8 wickets. The second innings of Bangladesh started after the lunch break on the fifth and last day. The Tigers went to the tea break with 100 runs for 2 wickets. Then when it rained the game stopped. Which could not be started anymore. After 90 runs in the first innings, Tamim remained unbeaten on 74 runs in the second innings. He had 10 fours and 3 sixes in his innings.

Tamim broke the 131-year-old record on the way to play this 74-run innings. When this opener of Tigers reached 50 runs, Bangladesh’s score was 52 runs for 2 wickets! Aussie batsman John Leo scored 50 when Australia scored 55 against England at Lord’s in 1890.
