Heading into the game, Tamim was just nine runs shy of the landmark. He reached the feat in his 272nd T20 match with a composed innings.

Tamim’s accomplishment places him in a league of his own among Bangladeshi batters. The next closest to this milestone is Shakib Al Hasan, who has 7,438 T20 runs, followed by Mahmudullah Riyad with 6,090 runs.
