Dropping down the curtains! Bangladesh have emerged victorious, clinching the series 2-1. That's all from us for this series, but hang on a minute. There is still some cricket going on around the world. You can switch tabs and join the coverage of the ODI between India and England, where the first innings is done, and India now have to chase a mammoth total, or you can join the clash of West Indies and New Zealand, which has just started. The choice is yours. It's a goodbye from this commentary box, and thanks a lot for joining. Cheers!

Smiles and silverware - Towhid Hridoy proudly accepts the trophy after the post-match interview, passing it on to his teammates. They gather in front of the 'winners' board, beaming with joy as they snap pictures with the trophy in hand. The elation on the faces of the Bangladeshi players and coaching staff is unmistakable. Yes, they were not at their best on this tour of Zimbabwe, but at least they will have some good memories to take back home.

The captain of Bangladesh - Towhid Hridoy praises his team's bounce-back performance. He notes how both the batting and bowling units dominated after a strategic team meeting following their opening loss. He praises Rishad Hossain for seizing his opportunity as a dominant bowler and credits Tanzid Hasan as a class batter who excels at finishing games once set.

Player of the Match and Series - Tanzid Hasan is the Player of the Match for his unbeaten knock of 66 runs, and he is the Player of the Series as well for scoring 144 runs in the T20I series. He expresses his delight at winning the T20I series, especially after earlier defeats in the Test and ODIs. He praises the Bangladeshi bowlers for restricting Zimbabwe to a low score and says that his batting strategy was simply to stay calm, build partnerships, and play the ball on its merit. Tanzid adds that he kept his composure during the tense finish because he knew that if he batted through to the end, he could guide his team across the line.

The skipper of Zimbabwe - Sikandar Raza says that 155 would have been a good score. He adds that they finished 10-15 runs short. He credits Bangladesh for the win and praises his seamers for their brilliant fightback. He says that the side's fielding was poor and there was a lack of game awareness. Raza also notes that it was a narrow defeat and that they will bounce back.

Presentations coming up...

Evans igniteed the final over - With 5 runs needed off the last six balls, Brad Evans turned the final over into absolute theatre. A single off the first ball put Tanzid at the non-striker's end, and Evans immediately capitalised by clean-bowling Mosaddek Hossain. The seamer then dismissed Mohammad Saifuddin for a golden duck on the next delivery. Suddenly, Evans was on a hat-trick, and the Tigers were sweating with 4 runs still required off the remaining 3 balls. Mahedi Hasan, however, showed nerves of steel to survive the hat-trick ball and steer his side home. Bangladesh reached the target with two balls to spare, securing a thrilling 4-wicket win. While they made life unnecessarily difficult for themselves, the Tigers held their composure when it mattered most, pulling off a brilliant comeback to seal the T20I series 2-1.

Tanzid anchored the chase - Bangladesh stalled early against Muzarabani and Ngarava, managing just 30/1 in the Powerplay. However, Tanzid Hasan broke the shackles with a crucial half-century, combining with Emon first for a 55-run stand and then with skipper Towhid Hridoy for a 63-run partnership to put the Tigers back in the driver's seat. Bangladesh looked to be cruising in their chase of 144, led by an unbeaten 66 from opener Tanzid Hasan. Needing just 22 runs from the final four overs with a set batter in the middle, a comfortable victory seemed locked in. However, Zimbabwe's frontline quicks fought back brilliantly. Blessing Muzarabani and Richard Ngarava bowled exceptional 18th and 19th overs, conceding just 5 and 4 runs respectively, to drag the game into a tense final-over showdown.

Myers holds firm in the first innings - Electing to bat, the Chevrons started well but lost momentum after the halfway mark. Brian Bennett hit a quick 47, but Dion Myers was the standout performer, anchoring the innings with a gritty 73 off 53 balls. However, he received no support as no other Zimbabwean batter reached double figures. Bangladesh's bowlers chipped away regularly, with Saifuddin, Saqlain, Mahedi, and Rishad sharing the wickets to restrict the hosts to a below-par 143/7.

Bangladesh clinch the T20I series - After being pushed completely to the brink following defeats in the one-off Test, the ODI series, and an opening-match setback in the T20Is, the Tigers have staged a sensational rescue act. With their backs firmly against the wall, Bangladesh have roared back to secure consecutive victories, turning the series on its head to clinch the T20I silverware.

19.4

Brad Evans To Mahedi Hasan

FOUR! That will do for Bangladesh! A high full toss outside off, Mahedi Hasan picks it well and punches it magnificently over cover for a boundary. Bangladesh beat Zimbabwe by 4 wickets and win the T20I series 2-1.

Absolute drama on the hat-trick ball! Evans traps Mahedi for LBW, but the umpire instantly signals a dead ball. A fielder was caught moving in the outfield just before the release. A massive escape for Mahedi, and Evans will have to bowl it all over again. 4 runs needed from 3 balls now.

19.3

Brad Evans To Mohammad Saifuddin OUT!

OUT! TAKEN! Back-to-back wickets for Brad Evans. Hard length, on middle, Mohammad Saifuddin moves to his off side and tries to go big. He looks to heave it over mid-wicket but doesn't connect well. The ball goes straight in the hands of Ryan Burl at mid-wicket, who makes no mistake. Don't go anywhere!

4 runs needed from 4 balls now. Mohammad Saifuddin walks in to bat now.

Brad Evans To Mosaddek Hossain OUT!

OUT! TIMBER! Game on. Is there a twist in the tale? Brad Evans bowls a full toss, on off, Mosaddek Hossain stays back, makes room, and looks to drive it, but misses it completely as the ball rattles over the off pole. Bangladesh are 5 down now and still needs 4 runs off 4 deliveries.
