The Tigers were batting on 144/3 in 29 overs against host South Africa in the 1st ODI of their three-match series at De Beers Diamond Oval, Kimberley on Sunday.

Mushfiqur Rahim (53*) and Mahmudullah (1*) were at the crease after the departure of opener Shakib Al Hasan, according to the live telecast of GTV.

Bangladesh touched the 100-runs mark in the 22nd over with a single taken by Mushfiqur Rahim off Imran Tahir in 21.1 overs, reports UNB.

Bangladesh started with bat a bit well as their opening pair contributed 43 in 8.5 overs, before Liton Kumar Das (21 off 29b; 4x4) was caught by skipper Fef du Plessis off Kagiso Rabada.

Imrul Kayes could have stay long with Shakib, but was caught behind by

Quinton de Kock off by Dwaine Pretorius, after scoring 31 off 43 balls, including four baoundaries and one six.

Bangladesh won the toss and opted to bat first without their dashing opener Tamim Iqbal and pace bowler Mustafizur Rahman, both were left out of the best XI due to their injuries.
