Mushfiqur Rahim brought up his third One-Day International (ODI) century in just 69 balls as Bangladesh were cruising at a score of 282 for the loss of three wickets in the 45th over during the first ODI against Pakistan at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium in Mirpur on Friday. Rahim smashed 13 fours and two sixes during his stay at the crease, having shared a 178-run partnership for the third wicket with Tamim Iqbal (132 off 135 balls) earlier in the match.

Bangladesh won the toss and chose to bat earlier in the day. Saeed Ajmal was one of the centres of attraction at the start of the match, and bowled his first delivery in international cricket since the ban imposed on him by the International Cricket Council (ICC) during the 11th over of the Bangladesh innings. Bangladesh lost the wickets of Soumya Sarkar and Mahmudullah, with the scoreboard reading 67 for the loss of two wickets at the time of the latter’s dismissal off the bowling of Rahat Ali.
