Bangladesh carried on with their underwhelming showing with the bat in the ongoing ODI World Cup on Thursday, posting a modest 256-8 against India in Pune, in an innings that hardly merits an in-depth dissection.

Bangladesh got off to a brilliant start today.

Over the course of the last 12 months, the highest stand by a Bangladesh opening pair had been 102 that Liton Das and Tamim Iqbal had notched. Without Tamim in the World Cup squad, and amidst the ongoing form concerns of openers ahead of the World Cup, youngster Tanzid Hasan and the formidable Liton finally found the runs they needed under their belt ahead of a huge tournament during the first warm-up fixture against Sri Lanka in Guwahati yesterday.

When youngster Tanzid Hasan Tamim came for his first press conference yesterday as a national team player, he did not look like someone giving his very first presser.

Yesterday morning, youngster Tanzid Hasan Tamim got a taste of the national team's atmosphere in more ways than one.
