Commentary

Right. then. That is it from the coverage of this game. The Tigers have secured 30 crucial points from this ODI series away from home. But don't forget there is a T20I series to follow. As Zimbabwe will take on Bangladesh in the first of the three game T20I series on 22nd July, 2021 at 1030 GMT. Do join us for the live action. Till then cheers and goodbye!

The skipper Tamim Iqbal joins his team to lift the trophy and began the celebrations in Harare. Bangladesh have sealed the series in style.

Tamim Iqbal, Man of the Match says that he is delighted to contribute to the team. Says that it was a good wicket and they bowled well in the last 3 overs. Adds that keeping the World Cup in mind we had to chase this total. Mentions that he will not be a part of the T20I series due to an injury. Ends by wishing Eid Mubarak to everyone back home.

Shakib Al Hasan, Player of the series, says, It was always good to contribute to the team and always special to win against Zimbabwe in their own den. Says that the pitch was good to bat and he missed out on an opportunity today. Adds that in T20, they have to turn up to win the series.

Brendan Taylor is up for a chat. He says there are a lot of positives to take back from this series and will be ready for the upcoming series against Ireland. Says Raza came back from the injury and played an incredible knock. Ends by saying he wanted to give the ball to Blessing Muzarabani but Donald Tiripano was able to strike today. Also says Nurul Hasan took the game away from them.

...Presentation time...

Not a good start with the ball for the hosts, they had their moments in between but could not capitalize on it. Zimbabwe found the first breakthrough in the 14th over, as the spinner Wesley Madhevere drew the first blood. The pacers weren’t disciplined with the ball in the Powerplay 1, as they did not trouble the batsmen at all. But during the middle overs, Luke Jongwe came to the party and skittled out Shakib Al Hasan. It was then Donald Tiripano who struck twice in two deliveries. First, it was Tamim Iqbal who got trapped followed by the dismissal of Mahmudullah. Wesley Madhevere came back in the end to take one more wicket. The rest of the bowlers probed good lines and lengths but never got rewarded for their effort. Not the end the hosts were looking for.

The Tigers have chased down the target of 299 successfully. Bangladesh started off solidly with the help of their skipper Tamim Iqbal and Liton Das. But the latter had to depart due to a miscued sweep hit. Shakib Al Hasan was also sent back with just 30 runs to his name. It was all about Tamim Iqbal as he went onto score a century. But soon after he got off to Donald Tiripano and in the next delivery itself, Mahmudullah had to depart on a golden duck. Right, through the innings whenever they were put on the back foot, they managed well to recover quickly and get back on the driving seat. This time, it was the clumsy innings of Mohammad Mithun along with the power-hitter Nurul Hasan who build an important partnership to take their side well within the reach of the target. Afif Hossain’s small cameo, in the end, helped Bangladesh complete the whitewash and end the series with a 3-nil win.

So, Bangladesh won the game by 5 wickets, as they make complete use of this batting pitch in Harare to seal the series 3-0 and have made the clean sweep over Zimbabwe. They have also added 10 more points to the World Cup Super League table. The hosts fought till the end but it just wasn't their day with the ball today.

Commentary

Right then. The chase is set to begin. The Zimbabwe players have made their way out in the middle. Followed by Tamim Iqbal and Liton Das. Blessing Muzarabani to start with the new ball.

Right. Zimbabwe put up a good fight and marched onto end their innings at 298 for 10. So, Bangladesh need 299 runs to win to complete the whitewash. It is going to be a nail-biting chase. Anything can happen here. Do join us in a while, as the chase gets underway.

Bangladesh were on the backfoot since the beginning. Their pacers failed to trouble the opening pair. And then the skipper Iqbal decided to get some spin into the attack and they finally found a breakthrough via Shakib Al Hasan. It was an outing for the spinners early on in the day, as Mahmudullah struck twice to put Bangladesh in a comfortable spot. But then a couple of partnership stand frustrated the bowlers. After some effort bowling, the pacers were finally getting rewarded. Mustafizur Rahman was the first pacer to get on the wickets column. Followed by Taskin Ahmed, they both snared a wicket. Mohammad Saifuddin was the most expensive of the lot, he gave away 87 runs in 8 overs but in his final over, he picked up three wickets to rattle the tail-enders. While in the final over Mustafizur Rahman came back to take the final wicket of Zimbabwe.

A good day with the bat for Zimbabwe, they faced a few hiccups in the middle but in the end, came back stronger. The opening stand of Chakabva and Muramani started off well with good negotiation with the pacey bowling attack. But the latter struggled to do the same against the spin attack of Al Hasan. The skipper, Taylor today got out with an effortless shot and was departed back only for 28 runs.  Regis Chakabva stood out there for long, even got to 84, his personal best score in ODI but could not end the innings with three figures. Looked like he and Raza will see off the innings but it was not to be. But it was Burl instead who took the task on his shoulders and supported Raza solidly during the end overs. Their 112 runs stand helped reach Zimbabwe hover near the 300-run mark. But the tail-enders were not able to add few runs to cross 300 runs, as the hosts lost 4 wickets in the last two overs and end the innings at 298/10.

Outside off, left alone by Tadiwanashe Marumani.

Big appeal for caught behind but the umpire just shakes his head. There was some noise there. Serves a length delivery, outside off. Marumani looks to defend it out but misses. The ball beats the outside edge and into the keeper's mitts. Taskin Ahmed was on the verge of celebration but it was cut short by the umpire. The sound that came was because the bat hit the back pad, as shown in the replay.
