South Africa vs Bangladesh: Tamim Iqbal says Bangladesh triumph over South Africa 'biggest achievement'
Tamim Iqbal said his team's one-day international series triumph against South Africa on Wednesday was a highlight of his 15-year international career. "This is massive," he said at the after-match presentation after scoring 87 not out to seal a nine-wicket win in the series-deciding third match at SuperSport Park in Centurion. Tamim said the victory was especially significant for himself and three other veterans of Bangladesh cricket -- Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan and Mahmudullah. Mushfiqur made his debut in 2005 and the other three started their international careers in 2007. "This is probably one of the biggest achievements in my career. We have got four seniors who have been playing for 15 years. I rate this series at the top."
