2. Tamim Iqbal must bat through:
Coming into the tournament, Tamim Iqbal has been in some red hot form. He began the warm ups with a scintillating century against Pakistan but then didn’t feature in the side’s second warm-up encounter at the Oval against India. Tamim is a massive pillar of strength for Bangladesh and that is signified by his career average jumping to 45.18 in won games, as opposed to his overall average of 33.43. If Iqbal can bat throughout the innings, he can target the spinners with ease as well, with Adil Rashid turning the ball towards him. More than that, Iqbal batting through also means Sabbir Rahman and Mushfiqur Rahim being able to express themselves freely.
