List of international cricket centuries at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium

The Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, also known as the Mirpur Stadium, is a sports ground in Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh. The ground has hosted 177 international cricket matches since 2006. On 17 January 2018 during the 2017–18 Bangladesh Tri-Nation Series, it became the sixth and the fastest to host 100 ODIs. It is named after A. K. Fazlul Huq, the first Prime Minister of Bengal, who was accorded the title Sher-e-Bangla ("The Tiger of Bengal"). The venue was taken over by the Bangladesh Cricket Board in 2004, replacing the Bangabandhu National Stadium as the home of both the men's and women's national teams. The first international match on the ground, a One Day International (ODI), was played between Bangladesh and Zimbabwe in 2006, with the first Test match played the following year between Bangladesh and India in 2000. The first Twenty20 International (T20I) match on the ground was played between Bangladesh and West Indies in 2011. Women's One Day International and Twenty20 International cricket have also been played on the ground.
In cricket, a century is a score of 100 or more runs in a single innings by a batter. A century is regarded as a landmark score for batters and a player's number of centuries is generally recorded in their career statistics.
