Bangladesh opener
Zimbabwe on Friday in the first of three one-day internationals at Harare Sports Club.

Das, who was only picked for this game after regular wicketkeeper Mushfiqur Rahim left the tour because of a family matter, struck his fourth ODI century for Bangladesh after they were put in to bat when Zimbabwe captain Brendan Taylor won the toss.
