Bangladesh pace sensation Nahid Rana etched his name into the record books with a sensational spell of 6 wickets for just 21 runs, registering the best bowling figures by a Bangladeshi in men's One-Day International cricket.
His remarkable six-wicket haul dismantled Zimbabwe's batting line-up, dismissing the hosts for just 141 runs in 36.4 overs in the first ODI at Harare Sports Club on Monday (6 July).
His six-wicket haul surpassed the previous national best of 6 for 26, jointly held by Mashrafe Bin Mortaza and Rubel Hossain.
Nahid's devastating spell not only underlined his growing reputation as one of Bangladesh's premier fast bowlers but also marked a historic milestone for the Tigers.
His ability to extract pace and bounce while maintaining control proved too much for the opposition, as wickets fell at regular intervals.
The record-breaking performance adds another landmark to the young pacer's rapidly rising career and reinforces Bangladesh's growing strength in fast bowling.
With figures of 6-21, Nahid now stands alone at the top of Bangladesh's ODI bowling records, delivering one of the finest individual bowling performances in the country's cricket history.
