yes
I will give this one to Tamim too. There are matches where a Mullah type guy anchors the innings and all the others play cameos of 2/3 overs, could have done the job .... But this was a high scoring match and Tamim was looking to be set...so in this situation the game plan should have been; TI keeps doing what he was doing and all the other guys plays cameos.....that was the only way we could have won this match comfortably.... Since TI had that strike rate advantage.
Mullah just lost the plot and the equation...or may be winning was never an issue in his mind. and he was more than happy celebrating the ODI series win and hand this over respectfully to WI...again a complete lack of intent...which has always been his problem...
