From no other but our pyare S Rajesh, here are a few things achieved today. I think these are among the only FEW things that have been achieved today. These are (sadly) the only things that stats can prove for him!!!

Quote:
- At 17 years and 362 days, Tamim became the youngest debutant to score a half-century in World Cups, and also only the second Bangladesh batsman to score a half-century on debut. The only other Bangladeshi to achieve the feat is Farhad Reza, who made exactly 50 against Zimbabwe at Harare in July last year.

- There were three Bangladesh batsmen who went past 50, making it only the second instance of three World Cup debutants scoring at least a half-century in an innings. The first instance was in the first game of the 1975 tournament, when Dennis Amiss, Keith Fletcher and Chris Old went past 50.

- Mushfiqar Rahim made an unbeaten 59, in the process becoming the first Bangladesh wicketkeeper to score a half-century in World Cups.
