Bangladesh beat Zimbabwe by 5 wickets
Bangladesh
Zimbabwe
Phew ! Finally the match has ended ! Bangladesh have won by 5 wickets with just 13 balls to spare. The figures indicate that it was a close match but Bangladesh were dominant right through. Chasing a modest target of 210 to win, Bangladesh started cautiously springing a surprise pair in the form of Tamim and Mushfiqur to open. Tamim was bogged down for some reason while Mushfiqur was on the attack. Zimbabwe finally got rid of Tamim for a tortured 4 when he was bowled by Price off his very first ball, in the 10th over. The pair had added 43 for the first wicket. At the end of 10 overs, Bangladesh
were 48/1. Chigumbura struck in the very next over, getting Ashraful caught by a blinder by Sibanda at point for 4. Bangladesh continued playing cautiously, adding 36/1 from overs 11-20, reaching 84/2 at the end of 20 overs. Raqibul and Rahim appeared to be added to be coasting along, when Utseya got the breakthrough, getting the top edge of Raqibul's bat, going for the sweep and getting caught by Waller at short fine leg. The pair had added 51 from 81 balls for the 3rd wicket. Bangladesh scored 43/1 in 10 overs from overs 21-30. They had reached 127/3 at the end of 30 overs. Rahim and Shakib added 70 in 74 balls for the fourth wicket before Shakib tried to go downtown and holed out to Masakadza off the bowling of Cremer for 30. Bangladesh had added 53/1 in 10 overs from overs 31-40, reaching 180/4 at the end of 40 overs. Rahim and Mahmudullah added 30 in 48 balls for the 5th wicket and looking set to go for the close, when Rahim lost his cool and his wicket to Price, getting stumped for a magnificient 98. Finally, Naeem closed the match with a boundary over mid-off. Taylor top scored for Zimbabwe with a valiant 61 while Price gave him good company with a splendid 46. The hero for Bangladesh was Dollar Mahmud in the bowling, picking up 4/28 in 8 overs, rocking Zimbabwe's top order.. In batting, the hero for Bangladesh was Mushfiqur with a valiant 98, with good support from skipper Shakib with 30. Nothing much for Zimbabwe, except for 2/21 off 10 overs from Price.
The presentation will take place in a matter of few minutes.....
Propser Utseya - Bangladesh deserve the whole credit. They showed that they were a better team. I would like to thank the crowd for all their support. Future is bright for us with the franchise system coming into play.
Shakib Al Hasan - Yes. People at home must be very happy. We have been playing well throughout the series, so we played very good cricket. We wanted someone from the top order to score runs and the top order did it for us throughout this series. Captaincy has been very good and the boys have been supporting me throughout this series.
MAN - OF - THE - MATCH - DOLLAR MAHMUD.
Dollar Mahmud - Everytime is good to perform in International Cricket. I am very happy.
MAN - OF - THE - SERIES - TAMIM IQBAL.
Tamim Iqbal - This is my first man-of-the series. I am very happy and hopefully there will be many more to come. 154 was the best knock I played. Everyone from the team contributed and that is why we won.
So ! Bangladesh came to Zimbabwe, had a look at Zimbabwe and conquered Zimbabwe 4-1. Third series win in a row. Shakib and his boys are a bunch of improving youngsters and can give big sides a good headache if they keep this performance consistently even against better teams. It was a great pleasure having you with us for all the matches. Hopefully you will join us for our next coverage as well. Till then, Good Bye ! Take Care ! ADIOS !

Welcome back for the run-chase. The target for Bangladesh is 210. Almost looks like the first match wherein they had to chase a similar score. There was a lot of movement in the air as well as off the pitch in the morning. But now, with the sun beating down hard, the pitch has eased out a lot. Should be a gettable target for Bangladesh, but, if the hosts bowl well and field well, they could very well make more than a match out of this.
