He is the first player from Bangladesh to go past that mark and is showing that he is still one of the best batters in Bangladesh. He has already had a prolific career for Bangladesh, and will want to keep improving as they are currently on the verge of a series defeat against Zimbabwe.

Sikandar Raza

At 36, Raza seems to be getting better with age. He is batting like a dream, full of aggression. With a few good games behind him, Raza is making himself a force to reckon with ahead of the World Cup qualifiers.

Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh Match Tips

Zimbabwe may have won the first game in commanding fashion but Bangladesh are still favorites. They are always a force to reckon with in the ODI format. They will be eager to put this loss behind them quickly.
