Bangla is playing a pretty long tail here I don't see them getting more then 275 here.

I probably can't make a case on actual results; I know Rahim had a poor start and averages 40 odd in the last 2 years, but I think Shakib averages closer to 50 in that period anyway. I do still always expect more of Rahim than Shakib when Bangladesh are playing though; Shakib as a package is great but as a Test batsman specifically he's never really done it for me.

yeah Shakib from what I have seen is a bit of a soft runs machine. Tamim is possibly their best bat against challenging bowling.

Tamim is the best batsman in terms of skill and technique. His temperment lacks sometimes.

Mushy is the best batsman overall in the side IMO. Shakib better at counterattackong and downhill skiing, and would make this side on his batting alone, but isnt the best in the side anymore.

yeah mushy is a curious case. he hit the middle ground. neither performed nor failed

2 good days on the trot for BD here. Really good chance to build a sizeable lead. Picking 4 pure bowlers and prepping a pitch that has a bit in it has worked for BD so far.

BD need a decent lead here, 100+. Any lead less than 50 and SA will feel like they've got out jail. Need to keep the pressure on.

I don't see Bangladesh getting past 315. I can see them Implode for 200 as well. It's a very long tail
