Bangladesh batter Liton Das' stunning 136-run knock was crucial as the Tigers smashed Afghanistan by 88 runs at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram today to take a 2-0 lead in the three-match ODI series with one match remaining.
Liton is recognized for his graceful batting style. The batter, on the other hand, has always struggled with consistency and has been chastised for his inability to turn his starts into significant at-bats.
Despite being in excellent form with the bat in red-ball cricket recently, Liton was unable to maintain his form in limited-overs cricket. However, he broke that pact and took the least number of innings to score five centuries among Bangladeshi batters. Liton scored his fifth ODI ton playing in his 49th innings.

"In the first match, probably because of the change of the format [from Test to ODI], things didn't go well," Liton said after the game.
"But as an ODI top-order batter, I always have a mindset of batting at least till the 35th over and I'm glad that I could do so today," the right-handed batter added.
Liton and Mushfiqur Rahim put on a 202-run third-wicket stand on Friday, which is Bangladesh's highest third-wicket partnership in ODIs. It's also Bangladesh's fifth-highest partnership for any wicket.
