There was a victory over the mighty South Africa in the Super Eight.
So it is not surprising that the most successful ODI captain in Bangladesh, Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, often puts Bashar's success ahead of his success. We can remember what Mashrafe said after overtaking Bashar as the most successful ODI captain for Bangladesh.
"If you see the victory of Sumon [Bashar] bhai, that must be seen double, because it is very difficult for us to win," Mashrafe said.
Like Mashrafe, Bashar did not hesitate to put his predecessors' achievements ahead of his own, especially the 1997 ICC Trophy, which the former national skipper marked ahead of every milestone in Bangladesh cricket.

"However, I saw the match we won at Harare in 2000. It was our first international match after testing and an interesting final.
