ZIM vs BAN Live Cricket Score

10.5 OUT! CAUGHT! The short deliveries are working well for the Bangladesh pacers and with that, Nahid Rana gets his second wicket. Rana offers a short ball, well outside off. Brian Bennett stands tall and tries to upper cut it, but ends up cutting it straight toward deep point, where Tanzid Hasan gets underneath the skier to pouch the catch. Zimbabwe lose their third wicket with 90 runs on the board. 90/3

3.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Nahid Rana strikes in his first over. Rana hits the hard length, over off. Marumani swivels on the back foot and does not quite go through with the shot. Plays a half-hearted pull and just checks his shot. It travels all the way down to deep square leg, where Saif Hassan runs in off the ropes and gets low to take a safe catch. End of a 37-run opening stand. 37/1

8.5 OUT! TAKEN! Mohammad Saifuddin breaks through for Bangladesh. Saifuddin delivers a slower bumper, keeping the line just outside off. Dion Myers yet again charges down the track to pull it across the line, but miscues it to deep mid-wicket. The ball loops toward the sub fielder, Rishad Hossain, at deep mid-wicket, and he makes no mistake in pouching it safely into his hands. The 38-run stand has been broken. Zimbabwe are 75/2. 75/2

13.4 OUT! TAKEN! Make it two for Mohammad Saifuddin as well. Pitching it much fuller, shaping it away from the right-hander. Sikandar Raza crouches and looks to launch it downtown, but the ball connects from the toe end of the bat. It flies flat toward long off, and it's none other than Towhid Hridoy to take the catch near his chest. 116/4

17.2 OUT! STRAIGHT TO THE FIELDER! Nahid Rana can do no wrong in this game. He goes fuller and around off. Milton Shumba shuffles across and gets down to scoop it away. He takes it on the full but unfortunately does not get the elevation and hits it straight to short fine, where Taskin Ahmed takes a good catch with the ball travelling to him quickly. Zimbabwe lose half their side now. 139/5

17.3 OUT! TAKEN! Two in two for Nahid Rana. Pitched up and around middle. Tashinga Musekiwa clears his front leg and tries to go big down the ground but does not get under the ball fully. He gets no timing on it as the ball flies towards long on, where Saif Hassan comes forward, crouches down on one knee and pouches it safely. A golden duck for Musekiwa and Rana is on a hat trick now. 139/6

3.3 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Richard Ngarava draws first blood. He bangs this into the pitch, just outside off. Saif Hassan stays back and tries to pull it away but this is not that short for the shot. He ends up getting an underedge behind, where Tadiwanashe Marumani dives forward to take a sharp catch, with the ball dying on him. Bangladesh are 25/1, chasing 171 runs. 25/1

4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Richard Ngarava with the double strike. He puts in more effort on this one, bends his back and bowls a well-directed bouncer into the body of the batter. Tanzid Hasan tries to get inside the line and hook it away but the ball gets big on him and he gets cramped up as well. It catches the gloves of the batt and lobs up behind, where Tadiwanashe Marumani takes a dolly. Bangladesh lose both openers in the same over. 30/2

4.4 OUT! IN THE AIR...GONE! Blessing Muzarabani strikes now. He lands this on a good length and on middle, kicks up off the deck. Parvez Hossain Emon presents the full face of the bat and tries to loft it down the ground but the ball hits him high on the bat. He ends up mistiming it high in the air and Sikandar Raza at mid off moves back to take a fine catch. Bangladesh slip from 25/0 to 34/3. 34/3

9.3 OUT! CAUGHT! A wicket that the Chevrons were desperately looking for here. This is on the fuller side, offering a bit of flight on the delivery. Towhid Hridoy gets down on one knee to slog sweep it, but he gets more height than distance. The ball balloons toward deep mid-wicket, which is also the bigger side of the boundary, and Tashinga Musekiwa does well to catch it safely. 98 runs needed off 63 balls now for Bangladesh. 73/4

17.1 OUT! CAUGHT! There comes the big wicket as Richard Ngarava has got the set batter. Zimbabwe will believe they are on top now. Short of a length, outside off. Yasir Ali hangs back and looks to lash it over the cover region, but the ball climbs up bigger than he expected. However, Yasir still goes through his shot but miscues it pretty badly. The ball loops toward cover and Brad Evans reverse-cups it before dropping on his back. 130/7

10.3 OUT! NURUL HASAN IS RUN OUT! Absolute disaster for Bangladesh. Sikandar Raza tosses it up, full and on middle, Hasan tucks it to the leg side and sets off for the run. Raza quickly moves to his right to get to the ball, turns around and puts in an underarm throw to hit the stumps at the bowler's end. Nurul is nowhere near the crease and there was never a run there. Bangladesh lose half their side now. 78/5

16.4 OUT! TAKEN! The dropped catch won't be hurting Zimbabwe much. Good-length delivery, outside off. Mahedi Hasan shuffles across and tries to loft it over mid off, but finds the connection from the outer part of his bat. The ball balloons toward the left of the mid on region, where Sikandar Raza keeps his calm and does the job neatly. Bangladesh are 130/6, chasing 171 runs. 130/6

17.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Make it four for Richard Ngarava. Can he get his fiver-fer with just one ball left in his spell? Back of a length, pitching on off and shaping inward. Mohammad Saifuddin lifts his front leg up and looks to pull it away, but the ball catches the top edge, before it loops and falls into the cusp of Milton Shumba, stationed in the deep fine leg region. Bangladesh are 134/8 now. 134/8

18.1 OUT! TAKEN! Zimbabwe are just 1 wicket away from victory. Muzarabani bends his back and offers a good bouncer, over off, angling in. Nasum Ahmed opens his stance to pull it away, but connects with the top half of the bat. The ball flies toward square leg, where Tashinga Musekiwa pouches the catch safely into his palms. 138/9

19 OUT! TIMBER! Blessing Muzarabani hammers the final nail in the coffin and with that, Zimbabwe beat Bangladesh by 32 runs, taking the lead in the series. This is much fuller, angling into the off stump. Nahid Rana makes room like he did in the last ball and swings his bat, but it is nowhere near the delivery. The ball beats the outside edge with a large gap and hits the off stump to uproot it from its place. Such a satisfying sight if you are a pace bowler. 138/10
