Tigers have defeated Zimbabwe by five wickets in the third and final one-day international (ODI) match to complete a 3-0 clean sweep of the series.

Skipper Tamim Iqbal smashed his 14th ODI century to keep Bangladesh on track in the chase of 299 for the victory at the Harare Sporting Club on Tuesday.

In the Zimbabwe innings, Sikandar Raza and Ryan Burl struck rapid half-centuries late to lift them to 298 against Bangladesh after Regis Chakabva laid the foundation with a 91-ball 84.

Nurul Hasan, playing his first ODI in nearly five years, put the finishing touches with his 39-ball unbeaten 45 to give the visitors a five-wicket win, according to espncricinfo.com.

Bangladesh collected full points for the World Cup Super League from the ODI series by winning 3-0 as Zimbabwe.

Even after removing Tamim Iqbal and Mahmudullah in consecutive balls, the hosts failed to stop Nurul and Mohammad Mithun from adding 64 for the fifth wicket.
