Bangladesh
Zimbabwe
What a comeback by the hosts Bangladesh! Set 220 to win, Siddique and Iqbal set the stadium on fire adding 44 inside the first four overs. However, there was a bit of a collapse as Bangladesh lost 3 quick wickets for 12 runs in 15 balls. But skipper Shakib al Hasan and Raquibul Hassan ensured that no further hiccups took place and added an unbeaten 165 for the fourth wicket. Shakib al Hasan reached his fourth ODI hundred, remaining unbeaten on 105. Raquibul Hassan, too, played his part, remaining not out on 39. The Zimbabwean bowling suffered at the start, but then came back with 3 quick wickets, Chigumbura picking up 2 wickets and Chibhabha taking 1 wicket. After that, it was simply leather-hunting. Too many no-balls, 4 of them and the fielding was not too great either. The 5-match ODI series now stands levelled 1-1.
ABDUR RAZZAK IS THE MAN-OF-THE-MATCH FOR HIS 5/29 IN 9.2 OVERS.
So! Bangladesh have roared back from behind to level the 5-match series 1-1. They won this match comprehensively by 7 wickets. The bowling looked in excellent shape but the fielding still looked a bit weak. There were some shocks at the top of the batting order but the middle order took care that no further damage was done. The two teams play the third ODI of the series at this same venue on Saturday, 31st October, 2009 at 0730 GMT. Do remember to join us then! Till that time, GOOD BYE! TAKE CARE! ADIOS!

Welcome back for the run-chase. Bangladesh need 220 to level the series. It is a very tricky score and Bangladesh would need to bat much better than waht they did in the previous match.
