Match Ended   
166/6 (20.0/20)
143 (19.5/20)
Zimbabwe beat Bangladesh by 23 runs
That concludes the proceedings for this match. Zimbabwe have levelled the series 1-1 and that makes the last T20I on Sunday a very interesting one. You can join us for all the action at 12.30 pm local (10.30 am GMT). The build-up will begin earlier. Cheers!
Sikandar Raza, the victorious Zimbabwe skipper, says that they managed to tick a lot more boxes in this match. Regarding 166 being enough, Raza replies that he would take that score as he has a very young squad. Also adds that they back themselves to defend. He is very impressed with the way Blessing Muzarabani bowled in the match and hopes that they will stick to the game plan in the final game.
THE MAN OF THE MATCH IS WESLEY MADHEVERE! He starts by crediting the boys and shares that everyone in the change room gave him positive ideas. Opines that the wicket was on the slower side and also credits the Bangladesh bowlers for bowling well. Tells that he is enjoying his opening slot and would look to build on this knock.
Mahmudullah, the captain of Bangladesh, says that they thought they will chase it down but losing wickets at regular intervals cost them the game. Feels that they didn't get the partnerships going.  Adds that they missed a few chances in the field too. Mentions that they needed a big partnership and this is one area they would like to address. Praises Shoriful Islam for his bowling and states that the fielding unit needs to support the bowlers more.
Earlier in the day, the hosts bettered their batting show from the last game and posted a challenging total on the board. Wesley Madhevere was the chief contributor with the bat and then Ryan Burl provided them with the finishing touches. Zimbabwe had a good finish to their innings and that handed them the momentum going into the run chase.
Afif Hossain and debutant Shamim Hossain did try to revive the chase but the asking rate was too high and the job at hand was too big. Eventually, they also fell in the process of finding the boundaries. It was a team effort with the ball from Zimbabwe but you have to praise Wellington Masakadza extra for his stupendous spell in the middle overs. Tendai Chatara, Blessing Muzarabani and Luke Jongwe also contributed to the cause and altogether, it was a day to remember for the home team.

A convincing win for Zimbabwe and finally, they managed to hand a defeat to Bangladesh on this tour. They were very motivated on the field to put the bad experience of Thursday behind. Blessing Muzarabani provided them with a couple of early breakthroughs and after that, we witnessed some reckless shot selection from the Bangla batters. There were many questionable and avoidable shots played which led to their downfall. As a result, Bangladesh were never in the chase as the wickets kept tumbling at regular intervals.

Tendai Chatara To Mohammad Saifuddin
Dramatic. Is there some ghost? Back of a length ball on middle, Saifuddin smashes it from the back foot to wide long on for a run. There is slight noise of bails coming off and the keeper is seen appealing. The umpire wants to check for the hit wicket but the replays find that the stumps moved on their own. Wind? Maybe. Bizarre.
Is Mohammad Saifuddin hit wicket? The keeper has spotted that the bails have come off and appealed. The umpires are getting it checked. Oh no, it has happened on its own. That's supernatural. Never seen that before. Maybe, wind.

Tendai Chatara To Mahedi Hasan
A couple of direct hits but Zimbabwe have not been lucky to pick another wicket. Short in length and outside off, Mahedi cuts it to point and there is confusion over a run. The fielder has a shy at the bowler's end and finds the stumps but Shakib is in safely. It deflects to mid off and now the batsmen cross. The fielder again scores a direct hit, this time at the keeper's end but Shakib is safely in once more. It's all happening.

Blessing Muzarabani To Soumya Sarkar OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Wicket number 2 goes down in the over and Blessing has done the early damage. Both the in-form openers are back in the pavilion. Short and around off, Soumya Sarkar stands back and blazes it through the line. That's hit hard, like a tracer bullet and it's travelling. Sikandar Raza though is ready at the edge of the circle at extra cover to snap it. Zimbabwe are pumped up!

Blessing Muzarabani To Soumya Sarkar
In the air...but it falls in no man's land. Full ball, on the stumps. Soumya Sarkar looks to heave it over mid on. Gets it away off the bottom of the bat and the ball goes high up in the air behind the bowler. It falls just in front of the fielder who was running backwards from mid on. He saves it from going to the boundary and they take two.

Blessing Muzarabani To Mohammad Naim OUT!
OUT! Dragged on! Good length ball angling away with extra bounce, around off stump. Mohammad Naim stays back and looks to run it down towards third man but gets an inside edge and the ball crashes onto the middle stump. Blessing is over the moon and flexes his biceps in celebration.
Blessing Muzarabani to operate now.

Tendai Chatara To Mohammad Naim
Ouch, that can knock the wind out of you! That's a sharp delivery, short and on middle, Naim tries to pull but is beaten. He is hit near the rib cage and goes down on his haunches in pain. He catches his breath and then gets back to face the next ball.

Tendai Chatara To Mohammad Naim
Slower one this time, deceiving the batsman, it's around middle and leg, Naim is early into the shot and misses. The ball goes off the thigh pad to point and they cross. The fielder aims at the stumps at the bowler's end but misses. No one backing up the throw and the batsmen get another run. Two leg byes.
