ZIM vs BAN Live Cricket Score

7 OUT! TAKEN! Two wickets in the over and the momentum has shifted pretty quickly as Zimbabwe lose both their openers. A regulation length ball from Taskin Ahmed, just outside off stump. Brian Bennett leans into the drive and punches it, but a bit uppishly. The ball is hit straight to square cover and Mosaddek Hossain makes no error. Zimbabwe are 36/2 after 7 overs. 36/2

6.5 OUT! BEN CURRAN IS RUN OUT! That's sensational fielding from the Bangladesh skipper, but Ben Curran was playing with fire, trying to pinch a single there. Taskin Ahmed pitches the ball up on off stump, and it is called a No Ball for overstepping by the umpire. Curran just pushes it down in front of mid off and sets off for the single. Mehidy Hasan Miraz runs in, dives forward, picks up the ball and flicks the throw in a motion onto the stumps at the bowler's end. Replays show that Curran is well short. Free Hit to follow as well. 36/1

19.1 OUT! EDGED AND CAUGHT BEHIND! Rana continues to wreak havoc on Zimbabwean batters and has his fourth wicket. Not too full and not that short either. It is that in-between length around off with some extra bounce and nips away off the seam. Innocent Kaia gets in a bit of a tangle while trying to fend it to the off side, but the extra lift does him in. The ball grazes the glove and Nurul Hasan dives to his right to take a fine catch behind the stumps. The in-form Kaia falls and Zimbabwe are 69/7. 69/7

8.1 OUT! TIMBER! Craig Ervine is castled first ball and Taskin Ahmed is having a ball out there. He's now on a hat-trick as well. Ahmed lands it on a three-quarter length around the leg stump, and gets the ball to hold its line. Ervine tries to block but plays all around a straight ball. The ball beats the defences to knock over the top of middle stump and Ervine has to walk back for a golden duck. Zimbabwe are 38/3. 38/3

13.1 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! A nothing shot from Raza, really. The express pace of Rana proves too hot to handle for the veteran. Nahid bashes the length hard, around off. Generates extra bounce off the pitch as well. Sikandar Raza gets the front foot away and looks to flay it over cover-point, but the ball keeps gaining height and gets big on him. Grazes the outside edge and Nurul Hasan, the keeper, makes no mistake. Regulation catch for him. A painstakingly scratchy stay comes to an end for Raza. 36/0 becomes 45/4 for Zimbabwe. 45/4

15.3 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! And just like that, half the Zimbabwean side is in the dugout. Sharp short ball from Nahid, on top of off. It angles in, kicks up and then straightens just a shade off the pitch. Wessly Madhevere could have left that on height, but he is forced to play with the angle. Hangs the bat loosely and gets a fat outside edge. The ball pops behind to the second slip fielder where Najmul Hossain Shanto takes a simple catch. Proper Test match lengths. Wicket number 2 for Rana and he is looking absolutely unplayable right now. Zimbabwe are 47/5 after 15.3 overs. 47/5

17.4 OUT! CAUGHT! The procession continues for Zimbabwe. Nahid slams the pitch hard, touch full and outside off. Clive Madande gets half-forward and looks to drive on the up, but the ball pops off the surface, nips away. Clive ends up getting a thick outside edge and the ball flies flatly to backward point/widish gully. Mosaddek Hossain, stationed there, bends low and takes a fine catch. Zimbabwe are 51/6 down now. Excellent field placement by Bangladesh and they are tearing through the batting order of the Chevrons. 51/6

19.5 OUT! LBW! Third 5-wicket haul in ODIs for Nahid Rana and all have come in 2026, in the last 9 innings, from March. Brad Evans is left shellshocked and walks back. Short of a length and around middle. Evans clears his front leg and looks to pull but is hurried by the pace. The ball slides under his angled bat and thuds into his back thigh pad. The fielders go up in appeal for LBW and the umpire's finger goes up in agreement. Zimbabwe are reduced to 70/8. 70/8

33.2 OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! Smart bowling from Nahid. After a barrage of short and length balls, he goes full and gets the reward. Almost a yorker, around the middle stump line, pitches and nips back in just a touch. Ngarava is expecting another short ball and is caught off guard. He swings his bat without any footwork, is beaten on the inside edge and the ball crashes into the leg stump. A truly fighting knock from captain Ngarava. Zimbabwe are 133/9, after 33.2 overs. 133/9
