Sikandar Raza to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR! Short in length and in the line of the stumps, Sarkar goes deep inside the crease and cracks it through the gap at point.

Tendai Chatara to Mohammad Naim, FOUR! That's nicely played! A little bit of width outside off, Naim just opens the face of his blade and glides it past the backward point fielder for a boundary.

Blessing Muzarabani to Mohammad Naim, OUT! Dragged on! Good length ball angling away with extra bounce, around off stump. Mohammad Naim stays back and looks to run it down towards third man but gets an inside edge and the ball crashes onto the middle stump. Blessing is over the moon and flexes his biceps in celebration.

Blessing Muzarabani to Soumya Sarkar, OUT! CAUGHT! Wicket number 2 goes down in the over and Blessing has done the early damage. Both the in-form openers are back in the pavilion. Short and around off, Soumya Sarkar stands back and blazes it through the line. That's hit hard, like a tracer bullet and it's travelling. Sikandar Raza though is ready at the edge of the circle at extra cover to snap it. Zimbabwe are pumped up!

Tendai Chatara to Mahedi Hasan, FOUR! Width given again and this time Mahedi cashed in. Short in length and outside off, Mahedi whacks it over backward point for a boundary.

Luke Jongwe to Mahedi Hasan, FOUR! Easy pickings! Jongwe delivers a length ball on middle and leg, Mahedi gets across a bit and heaves it over mid-wicket for a boundary. You don't bowl there to the batsmen from the subcontinent.

Wellington Masakadza to Shakib Al Hasan, OUT! CAUGHT! Tossed up, on the stumps. Shakib Al Hasan comes down the track and looks to lift it over the extra cover fielder. The bat turns in his hands and he fails to middle it. The ball goes straight to Sikandar Raza who takes another catch inside the ring. The replays later suggest that it was smart bowling by Wellington Masakadza as he saw the charge from the batsman and shortened his length. Shakib though still went ahead with his shot and fell. Zimbabwe are on top!

Wellington Masakadza to Mahmudullah, OUT! CAUGHT! Huge wicket, this. Tossed up, on off. Mahmudullah gets down on one knee and looks to slog it over long on. He is beaten slightly in flight and fails to middle it properly. The ball goes high up in the air and Tarisai Musakanda, the substitute fielder, times his jump to perfection and plucks it superbly near the fence. Bangladesh slip further.

8.4
Wellington Masakadza to Mahedi Hasan, OUT! CAUGHT! Flatter ball, on the stumps. Mahedi Hasan advances down the track and looks to go over long off. Gets it away from the toe end of the bat and the ball goes high in the air and straight into the bucket hands of Ryan Burl. Bangladesh are in deep trouble here.

Tendai Chatara to Nurul Hasan, FOUR! In the air but it's a safe shot. Fuller in length and outside off, slower in pace, Nurul walks across the stumps, picks it up and swings it over mid-wicket for a boundary.

11.2
Tendai Chatara to Nurul Hasan, OUT! Caught in the deep! Yet another reckless shot selection and Bangladesh lose their 6th wicket. Chatara senses the charge from the batsman early and digs in a short ball outside off, Nurul is down the track and then jumps to whack it over covers. He makes a good connection but it's towards the longer part of the ground and Wellington Masakadza grabs it easily in the deep. Bangladesh making it hard for themselves by playing some avoidable shots.

Tendai Chatara to Shamim Hossain, LUCKY FOUR! Back of a length ball on middle and off, some extra bounce, Shamim tries to defend from the back foot but it takes the inside edge and runs away to the fine leg fence. The debutant opens his account with a lucky boundary.

Wellington Masakadza to Afif Hossain, SIX! Tossed up outside off. Afif Hossain gets down on one knee and sweeps this fine over the deep square leg fence for a maximum. Much needed this for Bangladesh.

Luke Jongwe to Shamim Hossain, OUT! Shamim holes out! Smart bowling from Luke Jongwe. He bowls it on a length but keeps it wide outside off, Shamim has to fetch it from there as he tries to smoke it over long on. Fails to gather enough power and it's a simple catch for Wellington Masakadza in the deep. Shamim looked impressive during his stay, a good try from the youngster!

Luke Jongwe to Mohammad Saifuddin, SIX! High and handsome! Fuller in length and on middle, Saifuddin makes room and launches it over the bowler's head for a biggie.

Tendai Chatara to Afif Hossain, OUT! Here goes Bangladesh's last hope! Fractionally short in length and on middle, Afif turns and powers it over square leg. Seems like a great connection again but it's straight down the throat of Shumba in the deep. 40 needed off 17 balls.

Short delivery again, wide outside off, Taskin tries to heave it over the leg side but it takes the toe end of his bat and flies straight to Wellington Masakadza at wide long on. He makes no mistake and Zimbabwe are celebrating.
