Right then, that is all we have from this series. It has been a historic victory for Zimbabwe! They would like to continue this momentum into the ODI series now. The first ODI starts at 12.45 pm IST (7.15 am GMT) on Friday, 5th of August. However, there is lot of cricketing action around the world before that series gets underway. So, do tune into our coverage for that. Till then, it's goodbye and cheers!
Craig Ervine, the skipper of Zimbabwe says that they struggled a bit at the start of the innings and Ryan Burl and Luke Jongwe brought the momentum back in their favor. Says they came up with a plan and they knew that their reserves are as good as the first team players. Mentions that it was a good opportunity to rest some players and the players that came in their place performed well. Says that they look forward to ODI’s and know how tough it has been for them. He is happy with the side for showing fight instead of just falling over.
Sikandar Raza is the PLAYER OF THE SERIES ! He says that he hopes that there are better things to come in future for him. He says he is enjoying winning matches and praises Jongwe and Burl for the way they played. He ends by saying that for them one of the senior takes the responsibility but it was nice to see two youngsters changing the game for them.
Mosaddek Hossain, the skipper of Bangladesh says first 14 overs they we were on top and the 15th over changed the game. Admits that in T20 cricket it is always difficult to chase when you lose wickets. Says they know how good they are in ODI’s and are looking to come back stronger in the next game.
Ryan Burl is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his brilliant knock under pressure. He says that losing a few wickets early was not ideal but he had the faith in their batting line up. He ends by saying it was all about trusting the process and playing with a positive intent.
Presentation time.
Earlier, in the game, Zimbabwe managed to put a fighting total on the board courtesy of spectacular fifty by Ryan Burl and a handy cameo by Luke Jongwe. The Bangladeshi spinners did bowl well and it was upto their batters to chase a modest total. However, they faltered against some disciplined Zimbabwe bowling and it is the home side who lift the trophy in front of a big home crowd.
Bangladesh would be disappointed with their effort in this game. They first let Zimbabwe get back into this game with the bat after putting them under pressure early on with the ball. Then, while chasing the modest total, they could not get the momentum in their chase for the most part of it as they lost early wickets and kept losing wickets in the end too when they tried to up the ante. Most of the middle-order batters got the start but could not convert it into anything substantial. The partnership between Afif Hossain and Mahedi Hasan did bring them close but it was not enough to take them over the line.
The pendulum swung from one team to another throughout this chase. Zimbabwe bowlers started on a bright note getting three wickets in the Powerplay and they were right on the top when Najmul Hossain Shanto departed in the 10th over with only 60 on the board. However, they were denied a wicket for the next few overs as the partnership between Mahmudullah and Afif Hossain steadied the ship for Bangladesh. However, Brad Evans brought Zimbabwe right on the top when he got two wickets in consecutive deliveries in the 15th over and after that Victor Nyauchi and Luke Jongwe bowled well in the death to take Zimbabwe to a famous victory.
Zimbabwe win their first-ever T20I series against Bangladesh! What a performance this has been from the home side as they looked down and out after the end of 10 overs in the first innings. However, they kept the belief and not only got to a competitive total but also managed to defend it successfully. The crowd is happy and so are the Zimbabwe players who truly deserve this win!
