| Bangladesh V Zimbabwe, 2nd ODI |
Zimbabwe 7/0 (1.5 Overs)
Bangladesh 241/9 (50.0 Overs)
|
| Zimbabwe won the toss and decided to bowl first |
Visiting Zimbabwe has restricted Bangladesh to
241 in the second ODI of three-match series at Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla
National Cricket Stadium today.
After winning the toss, Zimbabwe captain Elton Chigumbura sent the Tigers to bat first.
From the very beginning the visiting side displayed a controlled
bowling attack. Pacer Tinashe Panyangara has removed Bangladeshi opener
Tamim Iqbal and Liton Das after a slow start from the hosts, and put
Tigers under pressure.
The third blow from Panyangara came in the 48th over when he took down Nasir Hossain.
For the visiting side, Taurai Muzarabani and Graeme Cremer took two
wickets each, while Luke Jongwe and Sean Williams bagged one wicket
each.
For the Tigers, opener Imrul Kayes, who replaced all-rounder Shakib
Al Hasan, played a brilliant 76-run knock helping the hosts to avoid a
disaster.
Later, Nasir Hossain’s 41 and Sabbir Rahman’s 33 took the scoreboard to 241 for 9 in their stipulated 50 overs.
With a big 145-run win in the first ODI at the same ground last Saturday, the Tigers will look to seal the series and secure their fourth consecutive series win.
Shakib Al Hasan,
who has become a father today, might not be playing for rest of the tour as he went to US to be with his daughter last night.
