Liton hits ton

Hosts Bangladesh won the toss and opted the bat first against visiting Zimbabwe in the first ODI of three-match series at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Sunday noon.

Bangladesh:  213/3 * (37.5/50 ov)

Visiting Zimbabwe side desperately wants to break their 13-match losing streak against Bangladesh.

The Southern African nation won their last ODI against Bangladesh in 2013 at their home den in Bulawayo after which they though won some match in other two formats, Bangladesh remained unconquered for them in this version of cricket.

This time they are confidence to correct the record, largely due to the fact that they had won a Test in this venue back in 2018.
