Dhaka, Bangladesh: Tamim Iqbal and Mushfiqur Rahim both struck centuries to lift Bangladesh to an imposing 329-6 — its highest one-day international score — in the first match of its series against Pakistan on Friday.

The total eclipsed Bangladesh's previous best of 326, which also came against Pakistan in a losing cause in the Asia Cup last year.

Tamim hit 132 for his fifth ODI century while Mushfiqur scored 106 to reach three figures for the second time in ODIs. It is the first time that two Bangladesh players have made centuries in a one-dayer.

Shakib Al Hasan was the other notable scorer with 31 after Bangladesh won the toss and chose to bat.

Pakistan fast bowler Wahab Riaz returned figures of 4-59.
