DHAKA, (Reuters) - Shakib Al Hasan led Bangladesh to  a seven-wicket victory over Zimbabwe in the second one-day  international with a blistering knock of 105 off 69 balls yesterday.

Shakib’s unbeaten century, his fourth in ODIs, helped the  hosts to level the five-match series 1-1. Left-arm spinner Abdur  Razzak notched up a career best 5-29 to restrict Zimbabwe to a  modest 219 all out in 47.2 overs.

Shakib shared 165 runs in an unbroken fourth wicket stand  with Raqibul Hasan (39 not out) as the hosts stormed to victory  by scoring 221-3 in 29.3 overs.

Hamilton Masakadza (34) and Justice Chibhabha (39) gave the  tourists a blistering start with a 59-run stand off 10 overs  before the Bangladeshi spinners put on breaks.

Off spinners Naeem Islam and former captain Mohammad  Ashraful claimed two wickets each as the Zimbabwe batsmen  struggled to find their comfort zone.

Malcolm Waller top scored for the visitors with 40 while  former captain Tatenda Taibu, who was dropped twice by Nazmul  Hossain, added 38.

Bangladesh raced to 44 inside fours overs before Elton  Chigumbura struck twice to halt their progress. After opener  Tamim Iqbal fell to Chibhabha for 26, Bangladesh never looked  back.

Chigumbura finish with 2-47.
The third match of the series will be held at the same  Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium ground on Oct. 31.
