Sikandar Raza and Regis Chakabva have scored centuries to help Zimbabwe successfully chase down almost 300 runs to win the second one-day international against Bangladesh.

Bangladesh scored 9-290 after losing the toss and being asked to bat first at Harare Sports Club. Zimbabwe reached 5-291 in 47.3 overs in reply for a five-wicket victory on Sunday, their second in three days by that margin, and an unassailable 2-0 series lead.

Raza was 117 not out off 127 deliveries, including eight fours and four sixes, and Chakabva blasted a 75-ball 102. The pair took Zimbabwe from 4-49 to 5-250.

Mohammad Mahmudullah top-scored for Bangladesh with 80 not out off 84 balls and opener Tamim Iqbal scored 50. Raza took 3-56 in 10 overs of spin.

The third and final ODI is at the same venue on Wednesday.
