Super Performer Of The Day

DALE STEYN
That he scalped his 400th wicket yesterday wasn't enough for Dale Steyn. Despite crossing the mark he kept banging in those deliveries on the line consistently. He had plenty of hunger in him and that was something quite obvious from the way he bowled. He barely let Bangladesh's batsmen get away with his tight approach and eventually got rewarded. He finished with figures of 3 for 30 and bowled at an economy rate of just 1.85. It was his persistence that eventually got him the wickets he got. Mahmudullah Riyad was set up beautifully before the batsman was caught at mid-wicket. Towards the end of the day, with the ball reversing, the batsmen were merely content with blocking him. With the way he has been bowling, it looks quite obvious that Bangladesh's tail will face a hard time today morning when they come out with a target of scoring at least 300 runs.
