Mahmuditlah scored a career – 50 of the best careers in a massive ninth goal holder 191 when Bangladesh moved to a strong position at the close of the second day of the first test against Zimbabwe at the Harare sports club on Thursday.
Bangladesh started the day on the 294th for eight, and finally put aside for 468, before Zimbabwe went close to 114 for one, still 354 was adrift in the first round.
Takudzwanashe Citizeno (33 not outside) and Brendan Taylor’s right hand Batsman (37 did not come out) will continue on the third morning for the home team.
Mahmuditlah and Taskin Ahmed previously wore the second highest Ninth Wicket holder in the history of the test.
When the last missed Slog Off Milton Shumba in 75, their stand ended in 191, four short walks from 195 used South African bouchers and Pat Symcox against Pakistan in 1995.
But it broke the Bangladesh record for 184 ninth run between Abul Hasan and Mahmuditlah in 2012.
The latter achieved the best score of his career in Harare, finishing in 150 unbeaten from 278 and six.
He took a little time trusting his partner at the beginning of the seat, but immediately allowed partnerships to develop.
