He held fort at one end and along with the support of Ali and Mahmudullah took his side over the line. Zimbabwe bowled well, Jongwe was good along with Raza and Muzarabai but it was towards the end where they gave the game away. Far too many boundary balls and that is what cost them the game. However, credit to them as they fought hard first after losing too many in the first half of their batting innings and then while defending a moderate total, they managed to drag it till the second last over.
21:33 IST:
Quite a comfortable win in the end for Bangladesh but this game was a lot more exciting than the scorecard showed. Defending a moderate total, Bangladesh were off to a sedate start. They never got going but always kept the rate needed in check. However there was a moment where they fell behind when they lost three quickly and the rain started to come down. They were behind DLS at that time. However, the scare did not last for long as the rain disappeared and then it was the Towhid Hridoy show.

For Bangladesh, it was a tale of two halves. First 10 was all about their bowlers. The likes of Taskin and Rishad were excellent. They were all over the opposition but the second 10, they just weren't at their best. They were taken to the cleaners by the two Zimbabwe batters. However, they'll still believe they are on top and will back themselves to chase this down. Zimbabwe on the other hand, will need widkets if they are to defend this. They'll believe they have the momentum and hope they can carry forward it. Join us for the chase in a bit.

What a recovery from Zimbabwe yet again and they'll believe they have a score they can defend if they bowl well. Let me remind you, they were five down for not a lot but then walked in the stand that had given some respectability to their score. It was a superb partnership between Bennett and Campbell. The latter was dropped early but he did not look back after that. They smashed the ball to all parts of the park.
