Bangladesh post highest one-day total
BOGRA (Bangladesh), March 17: Bangladesh scored their highest One-day International total on their way to a comprehensive 131-run victory over Kenya in the first outing of a four-match series on Friday.
The home team’s decision to bat first in the opening game was vindicated when Shahriar Nafees scored 91, Aftab Ahmed 62 and Mashrafe Mortaza raced to 44 not out off only 16 balls.
Bangladesh also posted their best win, in terms of runs, when Kenya were all out for 170 in 48.1 overs. Sayed Rasel took three wickets for 31.
Bangladesh’s previous highest was 272 for eight in 50 overs against Zimbabwe in Harare in 2001.
Their previous highest margin, 62 runs, was against Pakistan at Northampton in the 1999 World Cup.
