Zimbabwe recovered from a disastrous start to stun Bangladesh by five wickets on Friday in the first match of a three one-day internationals series. The home team lost openers Regis Chakabva and Tarisai Musakanda with just six runs on the scoreboard as they chased a formidable Bangladesh total of 303-2 that included four half centuries. A third Zimbabwe wicket fell after they lifted the score to 62 and then Raza and Kaia came together to put on 192 runs for the fourth wicket and set up a brilliant victory as Zimbabwe reached 307-5 with 10 balls to spare.
Craig Ervine-led Zimbabwe defeated Bangladesh by 10 runs in the third and final T20I on Tuesday to win the series 2-1. At one stage, Zimbabwe were struggling at 67/6 in the 13th over while batting first, but Ryan Burl scored a quickfire 54 runs off just 28 balls to help Zimbabwe post 156/8 in 20 overs. Victor Nyauchi then returned with three wickets as Zimbabwe registered a 10-run win to seal the series 2-1.
After slumping to 67-6 off 13 overs in the third and final match, Burl and Jongwe smashed eight sixes and six fours between them off 31 balls to offer hope to the hosts.
Mosaddek replaces Nurul Hasan as captain after the wicketkeeper-batsman was ruled out of the rest of the tour with a finger injury he sustained in Sunday's seven-wicket win in the second match. The three-match series in Harare is locked at 1-1 after Zimbabwe won the first by 17 runs.
Bangladesh's captain for the Twenty20 international series against Zimbabwe Nurul Hasan will miss the rest of tour due to a finger injury, the country's cricket board said on Monday. The wicketkeeper-batsman hurt his left index finger while keeping against fast bowler Hasan Mahmud during Sunday's second T20 international at the Harare Sports Club, which Bangladesh won by 7 wickets.
Spin-bowling all-rounder Mosaddek took five wickets for the first time in his T20 international career as the tourists restricted Zimbabwe to 135-8 at Harare Sports Club. Faced with the modest target, Bangladesh were always ahead on run rate thanks to an impressive start propelled by opener Liton, whose 56 off 33 balls included two sixes and six fours. The tourists cruised to 136-3 with 15 balls remaining and success was particularly joyful as it was only the second T20 triumph in their last 15 internationals.
Liton Das and Mosaddek Hossain played key roles on Sunday as Bangladesh levelled a three-match Twenty20 international series in Zimbabwe with a seven-wicket victory.
