Bangladesh's batting line is struggling against the Zimbabwe bowling attack in the first Test of the two-match series in Sylhet on Sunday.
Bangladesh won the toss and opted to bat first in Sylhet, where the surface is traditionally helpful for the pace bowlers, reports UNB.
Bangladesh lost their openers in just 32 runs. Both of them fell prey to Victor Nyauchi.
In the third wicket, Mominul Haque and Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto formed a 68-run partnership, but they failed to carry on.
They fell to Blessing Muzarabani. Mominul posted 56, and Najmul made 40.
Wellington Masakadza bagged three wickets, including the veteran Mushfiqur Rahim, who just posted 4 runs. Mehidy Hasan Miraz also failed to impress with the bat, dismissed for only 1.
Bangladesh lost seven wickets for 146 in 49 overs.
The second Test of the series will be played in Chattogram from April 28.
