Dhaka, July 11, 2021: After failing in the first innings, the top order batsmen have batted well in the second innings.

Sadman Islam and Nazmul Hossain Shant, the two top order batsmen in Bangladesh, batted in the T20 style for the fourth day in a row against the host Zimbabwe bowlers in Harare on Saturday. For that reason, they have added 80 runs to the scoreboard in the last 10 overs. Run Tora averages 8.

Even after the lead crossed 400, captain Mominul Islam was waiting for a calm and Sadman's century. They both deal with their confidence as they choose to embark on their play activities.

Sadman scored the first century of his career. After that Shanto made a run by batting with the speed of the storm. As a result, he did not have to wait long to pick up the second century of his career.

Bangladesh captain Mominul Haque declared the innings shortly after the two completed their century and threw a huge target of 48 runs in front of the host Zimbabwe to win. Bangladesh lost 1 wicket in the second innings and scored 264 runs. Shant 116 and Sadman were unbeaten on 115 runs.

Earlier, after Sadman Islam's century, Nazmul Hossain Shant also picked up the century by scoring a quick run. This is Shantar's second century in his career. After batting poorly in several innings in a row, he finally got the run. This time he got Zimbabwe and picked up the second century of his career in Harare.

Before Shantar, opener Sadman Islam scored the first century of his career. He played 180 balls and scored a century. However, he scored a calm century by batting in ODI style. He hit a century off 109 balls.

Saif and Sadman have been batting positively since the beginning of the day. Some of the shots came from the bat of the two. At one point it seemed like both would play big innings. But in the second ball of the 14th over of the day made by Richard Engravar, Saif's farewell bell rang for 6 runs.

Saif played a square cut while standing in place on the offstamp delivery. But Dion Myers was ready there. Saif ended the innings with a score of 43 off 95 balls with six fours. The right-handed opener did not make the second fifty of his career despite raising the possibility.
