That was a great shot to be honest. It went right next to the head of the bowler, and the bowler didn't know that the ball was past him until it was actually gone. Tremendous power.

It was Tamim. He is the hardest hitter in BD lineup. He had that reputation while playing at school.
The blow was tremendous. before that Tamim was just plugging along. Very unlike Tamim. Before that over he went 37 balls without a boundary.

| Chibhabha to Tamim Iqbal, FOUR, smashed, the line wasn't right for the shot but Tamim had made up his mind, short of a good length on middle and off, charges down the track and hammers it back past the bowler who is lucky to evade it, the umpire's luckier and Tamim gets four more
