But scoring 297 (that is, almost 300) in the second innings for Bangladesh is not a common thing.

Only twice Bangladesh have done that and the first time it was against Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka - but the main factor for scoring that 328 was that we were all out for 90 - our lowest ever test score in the first innings.

And the second time - it was also in the second innings - but that time it was against Zimbabwe.

And against Zimbabwe our batsman have always done better than any other test nation i.e., Bangladesh's average test score against Zimbabwe is around 250 - if you ignore the totals of 168 (2nd test match, 2nd innings in Zimbabwe) and 107 (1st innings, 1st test match, in Bangladesh). Although the 2nd innings of that match ended in 125/3 with the set batsman getting out, but with 125 for the loss of 3 wickets - against Zimbabwe - we could have at least reached 200 if not 250.
