Three days after Tamim Iqbal has smashed a belligerent 158 against Zimbabwe to notch up the highest individual score by a Bangladeshi batter in 50-over cricket, his opener partner Liton Das bettered it as he racked up a 143-ball 176.
Das stitched a 292-run-opening stand with Tamim Iqbal, who himself scored an unbeaten 109-ball 128.
Das’ innings included as many as 16 fours and 8 sixes and his partnership with Tamim Iqbal, helped Bangladesh put up an eventual match-winning total of 3/322.
