3 Since 2012, the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong hosted only its third one-day Internationals while Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium hosted 35 ODIs in corresponding period. The port-city venue hosted a total of 18 ODIs so far and the hosts Bangladesh were involved in all of them. 7 This was for the seventh consecutive times South African captain Hashim Amla dismissed without scoring a fifty plus innings in his career. Hailed as one of the most consistent batsmen of the South African side, Amla was struggling since he made 159 off 168 balls against Ireland in the World Cup.
