DHAKA: Tanzid Hasan struck his maiden ton before Taskin Ahmed took four wickets as Bangladesh pulled off an 11-run victory in the third and final one-day international against Pakistan on Sunday to clinch the series 2-1.
Salman Agha hit a valiant 106 but it went in vain as Pakistan were bowled out for 279 while chasing Bangladesh’s 290 for five at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium.
Tanzid Hasan, named player of the match and series, hit a run-a-ball 107 that included six fours and seven sixes, to help Bangladesh set up a competitive total on board after being put in to bat.
The 25-year-old shared 105 runs for the opening wicket with Saif Hassan, who made a patient 36 off 55 balls before Pakistan captain Shaheen Shah Afridi broke the stand in the 19th over.
Tanzid continued to dominate the innings, reaching his half-century off 47 balls and then converting it into his first ODI hundred from 98 deliveries.
