Bangladesh pacer Tanzim Hasan Sakib marked his debut with a massive wicket of India skipper Rohit Sharma as he said it was his ‘Dream Wicket’.
Bangladesh beat India by six runs in their final Asia Cup Super Four contest at the R.Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Friday.
The debutant Tanzim scalped two wickets and defended 12 runs in the last over very maturely.
"First wicket of Rohit bhai was a dream wicket. I just concentrate on line and length. I mentally prepare myself for a long spell. That ball (the last ball to Shami), I believed I could bowl the perfect ball. Very good feeling." Tanzim said after the game.

Captain Shakib al Hasan, who was adjudged player of the match for his all-round performance, 80 with the bat and one wicket with the ball, also praised young Tanzim and the spin department for the win.
"We gave [chances] to the guys who haven't played much. We thought spinners will play a part, and luckily they did. I wasn't batting well during this Asia Cup, but today I had time to settle. When I hit my first boundary, it felt good. When the ball got older, spin was difficult to play. When Mahedi came on, it wasn't easy to bowl. He bowled five overs in a row in the end. I should give credit to Sakib (Tanzim) also,” Shakib said in the presentation.
Skipper also said Bangladesh will be a "dangerous side" in the upcoming India World Cup.
“I think we have got a very good team [for the World Cup]. Lot of injuries, and players coming in and going out didn't help during this Asia Cup. I think we will be a dangerous side in the World Cup."
