Day 1 the pitch was definitely more difficult. The ball was not coming on to the bat and Zimbabwean bowlers bowled very well. Tamim on the 2nd day scored 35 off 54 balls which equates to a 64 SR. Far better than the 30 SR he had coming in to day 2. Watch how Mominul and Riyad batted, they too batted slowly.

So looking back at this innings now is just silly. You have to look at the circumstances as well.
Agree, also tamim has been trying to play patient and score runs for ages and he's finally done it, he should take confidence from this innings.
