The whole country was literally ecstatic and erupted into big jubilation when the Tigers bagged an emphatic series victory against the formidable South Africans. It was such a brilliant all-round performance by the Tigers that it immediately drew attention of the international media. The world must now be convinced that Bangladesh is no longer a mere pushover but a power to reckon with and it can now take any team of the world on equal terms. This is the third series win in a row for the Tigers. Bangladesh won the series decider comprehensively and outplayed the visitors in every department of the game. The newly-developed bowling attack of the Tigers, spearheaded by the wonder boy Mustafizur, perplexed the Proteas and restricted them to a total of paltry 168 runs and the Bangladeshi batsmen displayed a superlative performance to win the match convincingly by 9 wickets with 13.5 overs to spare. It was a total team effort and everyone played his part efficiently. Mustafizur, Shakib, Rubel and Mashrafe's bowling gave nothing away for the Proteas. I am sure the ODI win will work as a tonic for the Tigers in the two Test matches. The series win against South Africa was an Eid bonus from the Tigers and the nation celebrated the Eid with a renewed pleasure and enthusiasm. Congratulations to the Tigers for making us feel great and proud.
