Player Of The Match
  • 48.6

    OUT! Bowled. Mustafizur Rahman to Blessing Muzarabani. Off cutter length ball, off stump on the front foot driving, missed. What a snorter from Rahman. He finishes off the innings in style. A big spinner from the left armer, flinging down that fast off cutter of his, and it turns past the outside edge to smash into off stump. Unplayable for a number eleven to deal with.

    A magnificent display with the ball from Bangladesh. Two wickets in the first over, and Zimbabwe never really recovered. Sikandar Raza struck a well-made half century, but apart from that, no one else made a telling contribution. The visitors will have to bowl extremely well to get back into this. Bangladesh massive favourites to go on to win this first match.

    That settles it. A very comfortable chase for Bangladesh, and they cruise to an eight wicket victory. Tamim Iqbal carries on his marvellous form at the top of the order in ODIs. He punished any loose deliveries and rotated nicely in his 84 not out. Others chipped in to get them home with over 20 overs to spare. Zimbabwe clearly not getting enough runs with the bat. Regular wickets fell due to some loose shots, and they were always behind in the game. Not much their bowlers could do in trying to defend a score of 170, as the pressure could not be applied. The next match in this Tri-Series will be on Wednesday, where Zimbabwe will attempt a better performance against Sri Lanka. Join us then.
