Mushfiqur Rahim’s hundred off just 60 balls in the second ODI against Ireland has set a new record for the fastest century by a Bangladeshi player in ODIs, surpassing Shakib Al Hasan’s previous record of a 63-ball hundred against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo in 2009.
In the previous match at the same venue just two days earlier, Bangladesh had achieved their then-highest score of 338 in ODIs, beating their previous best of 333 against Australia in the 2019 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup.
In that match, Bangladesh had secured a massive 183-run victory, their largest ever in terms of runs. In the second ODI, Bangladesh improved upon their previous total by scoring a remarkable 349/6, largely thanks to the stunning century by Mushfiqur Rahim, which included 14 fours and two sixes.
