Bangladesh might not be one of the most consistent teams in International cricket, but they have still produced some great players even today. The player who has been one of their best players in the longer format so far is none other than Mominul Haque. The middle-order batter has been in great form and he has played some memorable knocks for his country.
Mominul Haque has been one of the most trusted middle-order batters for the Tigers in Test matches and this time we will be talking about some of these iconic innings in the longest format. Haque has scored over 4000 runs in just 64 Test matches at an average of over 37 and we will now be looking into some of these iconic innings which have established him as one of the most iconic players in red-ball cricket for Bangladesh.
So, here are the top 3 best performances of Mominul Haque in Test matches so far:
3. 161(247) vs Zimbabwe in 2018
This was a pure example of why Mominul Haque was a trusted batter for Bangladesh. The first innings of this match saw the Tigers struggle at 6-2 and losing both their openers in the process. This is where Mominul Haque came in and formed an important partnership with Mushfiqur Rahim to get Bangladesh to a massive score in the first innings. Haque scored 161 of 247 deliveries and played a major role in his side winning the game as well.
2. 176(214) vs Sri Lanka in 2018
This was a Test match that showed the sheer class and dependency of Mominul and there is no doubt this match was dominated by his incredible performance with the bat. Mominul Haque went on to play a magnificent innings of 176 from 214 balls to take his side to 513. This was not all as even after Sri Lanka came back with the bat, Haque was responsible for saving the innings in the second innings with another century. This Test match might have ended in a draw, but Haque won the hearts after this performance.
1. 181(274) vs New Zealand in 2013
When the Kiwis had scored 469 in the first innings we all thought that this would be a high mountain for Bangladesh to climb. However, a young Mominul Haque came onto the scene and played one of the innings of a lifetime scoring 181 of 274 deliveries forming an important partnership with Sohag Gazi. This was his first century in Test matches and though this was another drawn Test match, we were happy to witness this special innings from Mominul Haque.
