349.749.6: Mustafizur Rahman to Newman Nyamhuri, IN THE AIR AND PUT DOWN! Good length and outside off, angled across. Nyamhuri stays deep in his crease and looks to slap it over mid off, but it hits high on the bat and lobs up towards mid off. Shanto races across from extra cover and gets under it, but he can’t hold on. It was Sarkar’s catch to take, standing at mid off, and the ball skews on towards the long off fence. Sarkar sprints back to mop up and the batters take three. Zimbabwe finish at 271/8 with 11 runs coming off the final over.
7 Over | Run: 271/8 | Run Rate: 5.42
049.649.5: Mustafizur Rahman to Newman Nyamhuri, Smart bowling! A full delivery, wide outside off, Newman Nyamhuri shuffles across to play the slog sweep but fails to connect as the ball zips past his bat.
049.549.5: Mustafizur Rahman to Newman Nyamhuri, Wide! Reload! Tries to keep away from the hitting arc, too full and outside off, Newman Nyamhuri lets it be. A tight call by the umpire as that was flirting with the tramline, angling across.
149.449.4: Mustafizur Rahman to Wellington Masakadza, Very full and outside off, Wellington smashes it to the right of mid off for a single. This has been a solid comeback by Mustafizur after going for a six off the first ball. But can he finish well?
049.349.3: Mustafizur Rahman to Wellington Masakadza, Well bowled! At 129.7 kph, this is bashed into the pitch, outside off, Wellington Masakadza looks to hit it over covers but gets no connection.
049.249.2: Mustafizur Rahman to Wellington Masakadza, Beaten! This is at pace, full and outside off, Wellington Masakadza tries to loft it over the leg side, going across the line but misses to connect as the ball stays low to beat the inside edge.
649.149.1: Mustafizur Rahman to Wellington Masakadza, SIX! SUPERB HIT! Lands it in the slot, full on middle and off, Wellington Masakadza shuffles across, gets down on a knee and slog sweeps it cleanly over deep backward square leg for half a dozen important runs.
048.648.6: Taskin Ahmed to Newman Nyamhuri, Another appeal for LBW, but not given. Bangladesh have exhausted all their reviews. Back of a length, slower one, nipping in on top of off, Newman Nyamhuri has a heave across the line but misses and is hit on the back thigh. Clearly passing over the stumps, this one.
6 Over | Run: 260/8 | Run Rate: 5.31
148.548.5: Taskin Ahmed to Wellington Masakadza, A toe-crushing yorker on the stumps, Wellington Masakadza's head falls over as he looks to flick but gets a leading edge and the ball rolls down to long off for a single.
148.448.4: Taskin Ahmed to Newman Nyamhuri, A thigh high full toss, outside off, Nyamhuri strokes it to deep extra cover for a single.
648.348.3: Taskin Ahmed to Newman Nyamhuri, SIX! WOWZA! Newman is playing a crucial hand for his team. Taskin lands it on a good length, around the off stump line, Newman Nyamhuri swings it wonderfully over deep mid-wicket for a massive six.
048.248.2: Taskin Ahmed to Wellington Masakadza, Pitching slightly outside leg at 111.3 kph, full in length, Wellington Masakadza clears the front leg to slog it over mid-wicket but misses and the ball deflects off the pads, rolls to backward point and they get a leg bye. An animated appeal from Taskin for LBW, but the umpire shakes his head. That clearly landed outside leg.
048.148.1: Taskin Ahmed to Wellington Masakadza, BEATEN! Slower length ball, on top of off, Wellington Masakadza tries the pull shot, swings hard but the ball skids and beats his inside edge.
247.647.6: Mustafizur Rahman to Newman Nyamhuri, Landed short on middle, at pace now, Newman Nyamhuri hangs back and steers it through mid-wicket. As the ball trickles away and the fielder in the deep runs in off the ropes to pick it up, the batters hustle back for two. This brings the 250 up for Zimbabwe!
6 Over | Run: 251/8 | Run Rate: 5.23
047.547.5: Mustafizur Rahman to Newman Nyamhuri, Beaten again! Slanted outside off with pace taken off once more. Newman Nyamhuri swings his bat like a rusty gate, doesn't pick the variation and gets beaten on the outside edge.
047.447.4: Mustafizur Rahman to Newman Nyamhuri, Deceived expertly! A typical Mustafizur delivery. Slowish, fullish, and cutting away from the batter, angling across. Newman Nyamhuri clears the front leg to tonk it over long on, but gets beaten comprehensively.
147.347.3: Mustafizur Rahman to Wellington Masakadza, Back of a length, around off, Wellington Masakadza stands tall and hammers it down the ground for a single.
247.247.2: Mustafizur Rahman to Wellington Masakadza, Pace off, full on leg, Wellington clips it through square leg and the call is for two. The run the first one hard and turn back for the second as the fielder in the deep runs to his left to cut it off. The throw arrives at the keeper's end but Wellington is quick enough to complete the second run. Excellent piece of running!
147.147.1: Mustafizur Rahman to Newman Nyamhuri, Full and angled outside off, Newman drives it to long off for a single.
246.646.6: Taskin Ahmed to Wellington Masakadza, In the air... drops safely! Short of a length, sharply bouncing off the track, on off, Wellington Masakadza is rushed onto the pull shot and gets a top edge. But luckily for him, the ball lands behind the mid-wicket and mid on fielders and the batters scamper back for the second run.
6 Over | Run: 245/8 | Run Rate: 5.21
646.546.5: Taskin Ahmed to Wellington Masakadza, SIX! OH, HELLO? That's the first six of the match, believe it or not. Slams it hard into the pitch, on off, angling in. Wellington Masakadza picks the length in a trice and hammers the pull shot over Mosaddek Hossain at deep backward square leg for a cracking six. Taskin is not pleased with Mosaddek not trying for the catch but that was fairly travelling over his reach.
146.446.4: Taskin Ahmed to Newman Nyamhuri, Full-ish delivery, angling in on middle, Newman strokes it to mid off and they set off for a quick single. The fielder picks and throws to the keeper but the batters have made to their respective ends by then.
046.346.3: Taskin Ahmed to Newman Nyamhuri, Swing and a miss! Short of a length, outside off, Newman swings with all his might to pull it over the leg side but the ball jags away and beats the bat by a whisker.
146.246.2: Taskin Ahmed to Wellington Masakadza, Fuller and on the leg stump, flicked wide of mid-wicket for a single.
046.146.1: Taskin Ahmed to Wellington Masakadza, A big appeal for LBW, but not given! Bangladesh have gone upstairs for a review. Pitched around middle and leg, on a good length and it deviates away to the off stump. Wellington Masakadza looks to flick it from the crease but plays the wrong line and is hit on the back thigh. UltraEdge shows a flat line but the Ball Tracking shows the ball to be pitching outside leg. The on-field decision is upheld and Bangladesh have no reviews left now.
145.745.6: Shoriful Islam to Wellington Masakadza, Short of a length, on middle, Wellington controls the pull shot to deep mid-wicket for a single.
7 Over | Run: 235/8 | Run Rate: 5.11

045.545.4: Shoriful Islam to Brad Evans, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! That's the wicket Bangladesh were looking for. Shoriful keeps honing in the channel, on a good length, and generates extra bounce off the surface. Brad Evans swooshes hard at it to access the off side, but gets a faint outside edge as the ball nips away. Nurul Hasan takes a simple, straightforward catch. Zimbabwe slip further down and are 234/8.
045.445.3: Shoriful Islam to Brad Evans, Nails in a yorker, just around the base of the off stump. Brad Evans fails to dig it out. There's an appeal for caught behind from the keeper and the bowler alike but nothing doing. The ball just dipped below the bat on its way to the keeper.
045.345.3: Shoriful Islam to Brad Evans, Wide! Misses the radar completely and sprays it down leg, Evans leaves. Good grab by Nurul by diving to his left.
045.245.2: Shoriful Islam to Brad Evans, Big swing and a miss! This one nips into the batter and almost dies after landing. On a length, around off, Brad Evans swings hard to pull but gets beaten on the inside edge.

043.543.5: Shoriful Islam to Newman Nyamhuri, Bangs it short, on leg, Newman Nyamhuri ducks under it.
043.443.4: Shoriful Islam to Craig Ervine, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! That's a huge wicket for Bangladesh. Full and outside off, shaping away. Craig Ervine looks to drive it but gets a thick outside edge as the ball carries behind towards the keeper. Nurul Hasan bends low, dives forward and takes a sharp catch, scooping the ball just above the ground. Craig Ervine departs for 93. Wickets are tumbling one after the other here for Zimbabwe.
043.343.3: Shoriful Islam to Craig Ervine, Keeps it full, on off, Craig Ervine drives it to cover.

042.442.4: Rishad Hossain to Wessly Madhevere, OUT! TAKEN! Rishad Hossain strikes and lets out a huge roar. He has been a bit expensive tonight but manages to end a brisk 38-run partnership. Flatter, on middle, and fuller in length. Wessly Madhevere gets low and sweeps it but doesn't connect well. The ball goes straight in the hands of Soumya Sarkar at deep square leg, who makes no mistake. Zimbabwe fall from 174/3 to 220/6.

141.241.2: Mustafizur Rahman to Wessly Madhevere, DROPPED! A difficult one, though. Slower one, on off, Wessly Madhevere looks to loft it but the ball hits the upper part of his bat. It lobs towards mid on. The fielder, Najmul Hossain Shanto, runs forward and dives and has the ball in his grasp, but the moment his elbows hit the ground, the ball just pops out and rolls away. They collect a single.

040.140.1: Saif Hassan to Craig Ervine, Flatter, outside off, Craig Ervine looks to paddle it over short fine leg but misses and wears it on his pads. An appeal for LBW but nothing from the umpire. Clearly, the impact was outside off.

439.139.1: Rishad Hossain to Craig Ervine, FOUR! Pleasing to the eyes! A lot fuller on off, into the slot. Ervine takes a step forward and lofts it marvellously over the mid off fielder for a boundary.
438.638.6: Saif Hassan to Wessly Madhevere, FOUR! Gloriously played! Pitched fuller and outside the off stump, Wessly Madhevere leans onto it and smashes it through cover-point for a cracking boundary.

Raza looks to sweep it fine, but the ball skips up a touch and catches the right glove. It pops behind, and Nurul behind the stumps is quick to react. He fumbles at first, then gathers it on the second attempt to his left. No impact from the skipper as Raza trudges off. Zimbabwe are 182/5 down now.
037.637.6: Taskin Ahmed to Craig Ervine, Bends his back and bowls a short one, outside off, Ervine hangs back and knocks it straight to the backward point fielder.
6 Over | Run: 182/4 | Run Rate: 4.79

137.437.4: Taskin Ahmed to Sikandar Raza, Nearly a yorker, on off, Raza plays with a straight bat and drills it between mid on and mid off. The man from mid on cuts it off and keeps the batters to a single only.

036.236.2: Saif Hassan to Brendan Taylor, OUT! CAUGHT! Change in bowling works wonders for Bangladesh as Saif breaks the 150-run stand. Tosses it up nicely, lands it full and in front of the sticks. Brendan Taylor goes for the reverse sweep but gets a top edge that flies to the cover-point region. The ball dips on Mosaddek Hossain who dives forward and scoops it before the ground. Bangladesh needed that wicket desperately and they are delighted to see the back of Taylor who was inching to his century. Zimbabwe are 174/4 in 36.2 overs.

032.232.2: Shoriful Islam to Craig Ervine, Ervine survives! Bashed on a length, and slanted into the batter with a bit of an inward deviation. Craig Ervine gets across, covers the stumps to steer it to the leg side but the ball skids, beats the bat and strikes his thigh pad hard. A confident appeal for LBW and up goes the finger. Joy in the Bangladeshi camp after a long time, but Ervine has opted for a review. UltraEdge shows no bat involved but the Ball Tracking saves Ervine as it shows the ball to be missing the leg stump on height. Missing by a hair's breadth and the players of Bangladesh cannot believe it. Smiles turn into disappointment.
132.132.1: Shoriful Islam to Brendan Taylor, Back of a length, outside off, Brendan Taylor looks to dab it away with soft hands, but gets a thick outside edge. With no slip in place, the ball beats Nurul to his right and rolls to the left of deep third for a single.

Brendan Taylor tries the reverse sweep but the ball dips under the bat and clicks the boot. UltraEdge shows a flat line when the ball is close to the bat or the glove.

412.512.5: Shoriful Islam to Brendan Taylor, FOUR! A good effort, but goes in vain! Short of a length and wide outside off, 127.2 kph, and Taylor can’t resist. He throws his hands at it and crunches the cut to the left of deep point. The fielder, Saif Hassan, dives but can’t gather it cleanly, and the ball dribbles towards the rope. He picks himself up and flicks it back in just before it crosses, but the third umpire is asked to look, and the replay shows that his right hand is touching the boundary cushions while holding the ball.

Bennett rocks back and looks to punch it but the ball goes through the gate and just over the leg pole. A loud appeal and the finger goes up. Bennett has a word with Ben Curran and decides to send it upstairs. UltraEdge shows that the ball was hitting his pads and Ball Tracking shows that the ball was just clipping the bails. We have to go with the umpire's call of OUT. Brian Bennett departs for a duck.

Bangladesh are down to their final wicket now.
131.631.6: Newman Nyamhuri to Rishad Hossain, Full and outside off, Rishad Hossain drives it through covers for a single. 17 runs off the over. Newman has been very expensive tonight. His bowling figures read 1/56 in 6 overs so far, including a maiden.

228.628.6: Blessing Muzarabani to Taskin Ahmed, Excellent athleticism from Ryan Burl! Slightly back of a length, outside off, Taskin chips it over cover-point as the ball speeds to the fence. Burl and Masakadza run after it, and it is Burl, the sub fielder, who gets to the ball first. He puts in a slide to flick the ball and relay it in.

128.328.3: Blessing Muzarabani to Rishad Hossain, Hammers it short, outside off, Rishad arches back and ramps it over wide backward point. Newman Nyamhuri hares to his right from deep third and collects it on the bounce. One run taken.

6 Over | Run: 129/8 | Run Rate: 4.61
027.527.5: Brad Evans to Shoriful Islam, OUT! TAKEN! Expensive in his first spell, Brad Evans is making up for it in this one. He has three wickets to his name now. Short and following the batter, who is shuffling across to the leg side. Shoriful never gets into a good position, yet he goes for the pull anyway. The ball climbs higher than it travels, and Bennett, stationed as the sweeper in the deep square leg region, charges in, dives forward and plucks it just inches off the turf. Bangladesh are badly falling apart. They are 129/8.
027.427.4: Brad Evans to Shoriful Islam, Beaten! Back of a length, outside off, Islam has a waft at it and gets beaten.

027.127.1: Brad Evans to Nurul Hasan, OUT! CAUGHT IN THE DEEP! Nurul holes out and there goes the last hope for Bangladesh. Brad bowls a length-delivery and angles it onto the hips of the batter. Nurul hops off a bit and plays a half-hearted pull shot without completing the follow-through. As a result, there is no power nor timing on the shot and it sails towards deep backward square leg. It dips on the sub fielder, Tadiwanashe Marumani, but he does extremely well to dive forward while stretching his hands in front to complete the catch. Bangladesh are 129/7, needing 143 runs with just 3 wickets in hand now.
026.726.6: Blessing Muzarabani to Rishad Hossain, Bangs in a bouncer, on the stumps, Rishad dodges. A probing over by Blessing.

026.226.2: Blessing Muzarabani to Rishad Hossain, Drifting down the leg stump on a good length, Rishad Hossain tries to tuck it across but the ball skids through and strikes his front pad. A slight half an appeal for LBW but turned down.

023.223.2: Wellington Masakadza to Saif Hassan, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Wicket number 2 for Masakadza and his joy knows no bounds. He lands it around off and gets the ball to drift into the batter. But it lands, bounces and spins sharply away off the pitch. Saif is drawn forward and tries to drive it away to the off side, but gets a faint outside edge. Sharp reflexes by Brendan Taylor behind the stumps as he takes a fine catch. A gentle appeal is all required for the umpire to raises his finger. Saif does not review and trudges off. Bangladesh are 123/6, completely on the back foot.
123.123.1: Wellington Masakadza to Nurul Hasan, On a drivable length, on off, Nurul drives it to long off for a single.
022.622.6: Sikandar Raza to Saif Hassan, Fuller on leg, flicked straight to square leg.

021.121.1: Wellington Masakadza to Mosaddek Hossain, OUT! LBW! Bangladesh are losing wickets at regular intervals. Wellington drifts the ball into the batter, on a slightly fullish length. Mosaddek Hossain is pinned in the crease as he looks to whip it across but plays all over it and is struck stone-dead in front. A huge appeal goes up and the umpire obliges. However, Mosaddek has opted for a review. UltraEdge shows a flat line and Ball Tracking projects the ball to be kissing the leg stump. Three reds and Mosaddek is gone. Bangladesh are 112/5, in deep trouble now.

016.316.3: Sikandar Raza to Towhid Hridoy, OUT! LBW! What a review from Sikandar Raza as he dismisses his opposite number. A bit short, on leg, Towhid Hridoy looks to tuck it but misses and wears it high on his pads as the ball spins back in sharply. A loud appeal for LBW, but turned down. Raza consults with the keeper before sending it upstairs to have a check. Nothing on UltraEdge and Ball Tracking shows three reds with the ball crashing into the leg stump. The on-field decision is overturned to OUT. And the Chevrons are charged up to bits. From 47/0, Bangladesh have slipped to 97/4. They still need 175 runs to win.
016.216.2: Sikandar Raza to Towhid Hridoy, A bit short, on off, Towhid Hridoy cuts it to backward point. The fielder dives to his right and makes a good stop. Dot.

411.311.2: Newman Nyamhuri to Towhid Hridoy, FOUR! Hridoy is lucky to survive that one. The ball nips back in off a good length, he looks to tuck it across the line, and it thumps into him. Everyone around the bat goes up at once, the bowler, the slips and the keeper, all pleading for the LBW. While they appeal, the ring fielder’s throw from backward point misses its mark and trickles away to the rope to the leg side. Zimbabwe send it upstairs for a review, but UltraEdge shows a spike as the ball passes the inside part of the bat. Not out, and Zimbabwe lose a review, and are left with just one.

010.210.2: Brad Evans to Najmul Hossain Shanto, OUT! LBW! Brad Evans gets the big fish. Fullish, angling in, on off. Najmul Hossain Shanto stays back and looks to loft it but misses and wears it on his pads. A loud appeal and the finger goes up straightaway. Clear gap on UltraEdge and Ball Tracking shows three reds. The onfield decision of OUT stays. Shanto walks back into the shed and Bangladesh are reduced to 66/3, needing 206 runs.
210.110.1: Brad Evans to Najmul Hossain Shanto, Angling in, on off, Najmul Hossain Shanto punches it through covers for a brace.
09.69.6: Newman Nyamhuri to Tanzid Hasan, OUT! FANTASTIC CATCH! Muzarabani will be the most relieved man out there. Excellent bowling by Newman. He bangs it hard into the pitch, on off, nipping in. That certainly cramps Tanzid for space but he still goes for the cut shot but it is too close to play that kind of a shot. Ends up chipping it towards backward point. Ryan Burl, the sub fielder, dives to scoop the dipping ball inches before the ground. The Chevrons flock together to celebrate a massive wicket as Tanzid was looking too dangerous and unstoppable. Bangladesh are 66/2 in 10 overs, needing 206 runs from 240 balls.
6 Over | Run: 66/2 | Run Rate: 6.60
49.59.5: Newman Nyamhuri to Tanzid Hasan, FOUR! That's very casual from Muzarabani. At first look, everyone thought he had it covered as it went at a catchable height. Newman is shocked, Sikandar Raza, stunned. Hands on hips for Blessing. Too short and too wide, and Tanzid needs no invitation. He throws the bat at it and sends it skimming flat and fast towards deep third. Blessing Muzarabani, stationed out there, picks it up late as the floodlights swallow the ball, and by the time he reacts it is already past him and into the boundary. 
09.49.4: Newman Nyamhuri to Tanzid Hasan, Very full on the stumps, Tanzid forces it down to mid on.
69.39.3: Newman Nyamhuri to Tanzid Hasan, SIX! That's the first biggie of the chase and Tanzid moves to 42! Nyamhuri shortens the length, on off and middle. Hasan lets the ball angle into him and whips it over deep backward square leg for half a dozen runs.
09.29.2: Newman Nyamhuri to Tanzid Hasan, Shapes away a shy bit, outside off, Hasan lets it be.

18.28.2: Blessing Muzarabani to Najmul Hossain Shanto, Back of a length, on the leg stump, this is steered to deep backward square leg for a single.
08.18.1: Blessing Muzarabani to Najmul Hossain Shanto, What a delivery! Muzarabani is using his height to his benefit and is extracting good lift off the track. In the channel on a length, nipping away with a fair bit of bounce. Najmul Hossain Shanto is half-forward to defend but the ball zips past his bat.
27.67.6: Newman Nyamhuri to Tanzid Hasan, Too full and outside off, Hasan leans forward to drive but slices it to the right of backward point. The ball is speeding towards the fence, but Muzarabani sprints from deep third, puts in a slide to his right and makes a fine stop with his hands. Two runs taken.

07.27.2: Newman Nyamhuri to Tanzid Hasan, Straight and full, outside off, solidly defended off the front foot to point.
07.17.1: Newman Nyamhuri to Tanzid Hasan, Close call! Newman spears it on a fuller length and attacks the pads. Tanzid is rushed on the flick and plays over the wrong line. The ball zips past the inside edge and strikes the front pad. A huge appeal for LBW, but not given. Drifting down leg by the looks of it. Sikandar consults with his bowler and the keeper before going upstairs for a review. Nothing on the UltraEdge. Ball Tracking confirms that the impact is in line of the stumps but the ball is brushing the leg stump on umpire's call. Zimbabwe do not lose the review but do not get the wicket either.
06.76.6: Blessing Muzarabani to Najmul Hossain Shanto, What a beauty! Full ball that shapes back from outside off, Najmul Hossain Shanto goes for the drive but gets beaten all ends up on the inside edge.

06.36.3: Blessing Muzarabani to Soumya Sarkar, OUT! EDGED AND CAUGHT! Sensational catch in the slip. And Zimbabwe have their first breakthrough. Good length, shaping away from the left-hander with bounce. Sarkar is forced to play at it due to the angle. He pokes at it away from his body. The outside edge flies low towards second slip, where Brian Bennett dives to his right and holds a neat catch. Bangladesh are 47/1, chasing 272 runs.

45.45.4: Newman Nyamhuri to Tanzid Hasan, FOUR! All runs scored off boundaries by Tanzid so far as he moves to 28. Overcorrects himself, does Nyamhuri and errs it on a length, down leg. Hasan uses the pace, and a simple tickle behind to deep fine leg earns him a boundary.
45.35.3: Newman Nyamhuri to Tanzid Hasan, FOUR! Excellently played! On a short of a length, around off, Tanzid camps back, rides the bounce and punches it crisply to the right of the diving cover-point fielder to pick up another boundary. His sixth so far.
05.25.2: Newman Nyamhuri to Tanzid Hasan, Beauty! An outswinging delivery, full and wide outside off, Tanzid does not move his feet much and goes for an expansive drive to the off side, but the ball keeps leaving him and flirts past the outside edge.

43.33.3: Brad Evans to Tanzid Hasan, FOUR! Onto it in a flash! Hits the length very hard, does Evans. Tanzid hangs back, fetches it from outside off and pulls it in front of square, over mid-wicket for a boundary. He is some fine touch out there, is Hasan.
