...Presentation...

21:56 IST:

For Bangladesh, it was about one partnership or one good innings and they got both. Hasan was the star with the bat and he got good support from the likes of Hridoy. The two put up a match winning partnership to give their side a lead in this series. A comfortable and overall a fantastic performance from Bangladesh.

21:55 IST:

A comfortable win in the end for Bangladesh! 125 was just never going to be enough. Zimbabwe did start well though with the ball as they got a couple of wickets early but their fielding let them down. Dropped catches is what cost them the game. Also, the rain did not help as it flattened the wicket. Still though, had the catches been taken, the game could have well been a little different.

...THE CHASE...

19:31 IST:

Bangladesh would have loved to fold the innings early on but this is still a pretty good job. They would have taken this score at the start. All the bowlers deserve an appreciation here. They were right on the money from the start. The seamers though, Mohammad Saifuddin and Taskin Ahmed ended with three wickets each while Mahedi Hasan and Rishad Hossain were decent in the middle phase. Bangladeshi bowlers have done the job and will hope the batters finish things with ease. Can they or are we in for a surprise by Zimbabwe?

19:29 IST:

Zimbabwe have reached to a decent total here. From 41 for 7 to 116 for 8 is an incredible achievement as once even 70-80 was looking difficult for the visitors. Zimbabwe started well, they scored around 45 runs inside the Powerplay but the wicket of Gumbie created havoc as they lost 5 wickets in what, a space of 10 balls or so. However, Clive Madande and Wellington Masakadza added 75 runs which helped them get over the 100-runs mark.
