We are back for the chase! The players are out in the middle. Tadiwanashe Marumani and Takudzwanashe Kaitano will open the batting for Zimbabwe. Hasan Mahmud will begin the proceedings with the ball. Let's go!

... THE RUN CHASE ...

It's been another clinical performance for the hosts! They were well disciplined with the ball and were top-notch while fielding as well. At no point in the innings did they let the run rate go over 5.2. They grabbed wickets at crucial junctures and made sure that Bangladesh do not get away with a big stand. Zimbabwe will mightily be pleased with the show they have put on here. Brad Evans and Luke Jongwe were the bowlers who grabbed two wickets each, while Sikandar Raza and Richard Ngarava took a wicket apiece. Bangladesh have put up a fighting total on the board, but Zimbabwe have chased down bigger totals. The home side will fancy their chances of completing a series whitewash here! Can they do so? We will find out. Stick around for Zimbabwe's reply!

After being put in to bat first, Bangladesh did get off to a steady start. Tamim Iqbal and Anamul Haque put on 41 runs for the first wicket but failed to carry one as the former was sent back to the hut because of an unfortunate run-out. Once he departed, the visitors lost two wickets in quick succession and were put under the pump within the first Powerplay! Mahmudullah and Anamul Haque did some damage work and put on a stand of 77 runs before Mahmudullah's struggling innings came to an end. Bangladesh did put on small partnerships but they failed to convert those into big stands. As a result, they managed to put on 256 on the board. Afif Hossain and Anamul Haque were the two players who notched up their respective half-tons and have given the bowlers something to fight for!

An exceptional effort with the ball from Zimbabwe! On a wicket that was challenging for bowlers and a paradise for the batters, they have done a tremendous job to restrict Bangladesh to under 260! There is no doubt that they will be the happier side of the two going into the break!
