Shakib, Tamim fifties propel Bangladesh

Fifities from Tamim Iqbal and Shakib Al Hasan have put Bangladesh in a good position against Zimbabwe in their tri-nation series match on Tuesday.

The hosts, who have already booked a place in the final, now have 120 for 2 at the end of the 29th over. Sakib has just departed after making 51 off 80 balls, but in-form Tamim has hit his third consecutive fifty.

The opener is on 53 from 82 balls. Shakib and Tamim made 106 in the second wicket after Kyle Jarvis had struck in the third over to remove opener Anamul Haque, who could manage only one.

Sikandar Raza bagged Shakib's wicket in the 28th over to break the stand.
