The Zimbabwe batsman Charles Coventry equalled the highest one-day international score, hitting an unbeaten 194 to lead his team to 312-8 in the fourth match against Bangladesh at Bulawayo.

Coventry smashed 16 fours and seven sixes in 156 balls to record his maiden ODI hundred and match the score made by Saeed Anwar for Pakistan against India in Chennai in 1997.
