00:10Hello and welcome to Harare Sports Club for the second one day international between Zimbabwe
00:17and Bangladesh. And I was out there with the two skippers at the toss and Bangladesh called
00:25correctly. And they called heads and they decided with no hesitation that they would have a ball
00:31first. Look at the carry. That was one of my thoughts was that this surface looks a little
00:44bit drier. Bolden. That's a beauty. I believe this is a wonderful set up by Tuscan. A number
00:56of balls outside the line of off stump and then brings one back in. On the shorter side
01:02of the line. This is fuller. And he gets stuck in his face. Look at the cart winning. The
01:06milk stump goes out of the ground. What a delivery. What a start for Tuscan Ahmed. He looks pretty
01:13animated. Not him. He's gone for naught. It's naught for one. Beautiful shot. Beautiful timing.
01:25Innocent Kaira. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. No, no, no. Innocent Kaira. Yes, yes, yes.
01:40It's for Bangladesh. He'll be devastated when you go and see this dismissal. What was he
01:48trying to do? It's not there. Even if it was there, I don't think that was the right approach.
01:53Easy. For Medus and Mirage to grab that one. He goes. And it's on the guy. Gone for four.
02:04Eight for two.
02:10Upish. But punched down the ground for four. Nice looking shot. Leaning into that. This
02:21outfield will give you value for your shots. Boundary for Craig Urban.
02:29Right through. That's what Pace can do. Once again, you feel that this time Craig Urban was a little
02:35late on that. It has beaten all defenses. That's what Pace can do, really. Stuck on the crease.
02:43Really gone nowhere. Half a step going forward with that front foot. And the ball through the defenses
02:52and dismantles. Craig Urban's woodwork. He goes for nine. Zimbabwe in trouble. 32 for three.
03:02Oh, wow. What a shot. That's been slapped back at the baller. Straight.
03:12That's a good swing of the bat there. That'll surely put in a lot of confidence in Karan to end
03:18the over
03:18with a boundary. 45 for three. Nice straight bat. Good shot. That is one of the best shots I've seen
03:28this
03:28this morning. That's a proper vertical bat. And go to the boundary.
03:40Now there's more confidence from Wesley Madhavere. Second boundary in the over of Rana. 61 for three
03:47after 14. Last ball of the previous over. That is necessary from Wesley Madhavere.
03:57He's decided to take on Mirage and holds out and long on as Zimbabwe. Unnecessarily lose their fourth.
04:06And he looks to be in control here. Short one. Put away. I should go to the boundary.
04:11It's a long one, but doesn't matter. He timed it very nicely indeed.
04:19Intentional. Clever.
04:21And quite effective.
04:27Picked up nicely and that'll be four.
04:31That's not a good delivery from Rashad.
04:35Different teams.
04:39Work to do. Work to do.
04:41But there's so much work to do
04:45as this just skips away for four.
04:52Very nice
04:54from Ben Curran.
04:56He hasn't tried to hit it hard at all because
04:58he understands that there's no fielder there.
05:01And then this one with Skandaraza.
05:05That is a great shot to get the overstarted.
05:08He's given himself a little bit of room leg side to access the square cover boundary.
05:14A single over a spin on this tour.
05:16Nicely driven.
05:17Saw that foolish length and has driven that.
05:20He's played hard at that.
05:22And then smashes it to the cover boundary.
05:28Oh, he's holed up.
05:31Skandaraza is holed out to extra cover.
05:34Wonderful bowling change.
05:35Change of pace here from the captain.
05:38Mehdi Hassan Miraj as he picks out his second.
05:43Yeah, really, that's...
05:44I'd put that at a soft dismissal.
05:46He's got it middle of the bat,
05:47but straight to that fielder at short cover.
05:51Really, probably could have played that anywhere on the offside, in the gap.
05:56This is a big moment in the game because they were well set
05:59and now brings in the wicketkeeper, the last batter.
06:02Yes, he'll be livid with himself the way he's lost that wicket.
06:05Gone for 33, 134 for 5.
06:08He'll be in operation.
06:12I was just going to tell you that,
06:14that when you see a lot of dot balls from the other end,
06:17will that push Karn to take a bit of chance?
06:24Karn, bit of extra bounce.
06:28Madande looking to go two square.
06:34And another wicket falls.
06:37A little bit too full to cut that.
06:39And a smart catcher by the keeper, Noel Hassan Shohan.
06:43So, another wicket goes.
06:45This time, Rashad picks up his first.
06:48So, Clive Madande, gone for 4.
06:51148 for 6.
06:56Slag, he's got hold of that.
06:59Evans, dispatches that on the longer side.
07:02Smile on his face.
07:03We hardly see those maximums here.
07:05It's a big ground, this.
07:10Pulls away.
07:11Will this be the moment?
07:12Will this be the moment?
07:13Second ODI 100 for Ben Curran.
07:16What a knock.
07:17What a responsible knock from this man.
07:20Stood his ground.
07:22Opened the innings.
07:23And he's batting on.
07:24Fighting for his country.
07:31Catcher is the call.
07:32He's got a top edge.
07:33That will fly.
07:33Surely, yes, maximum.
07:37We're at altitude, so the ball does fly.
07:44There you go.
07:45Good call, Ed.
07:46But that shot will still earn them a boundary.
07:50He's a strong man, Brad Evans.
07:55Slower one.
07:56Picked up.
07:57He held his position for a moment.
08:00And that fraction of a second was enough.
08:04And again.
08:06Evans, this time, squarer on the onside.
08:10Back-to-back sixes.
08:11And was punished.
08:14He's got it.
08:15He got into that position very, very early.
08:18And what has happened is rattled the baller a bit.
08:20He's ended up bowling a full toss.
08:23First 50 for Brad Evans.
08:25Evans, and what a time to bring it on.
08:31Holds this pause once again.
08:33What an over.
08:34What a finish with a maximum from Evans' bat.
08:38Zimbabwe have accelerated to 247 for six.
08:44And, yeah, raise your bat, man.
08:46Raise your bat.
08:47What a knock.
08:48He has completely overshadowed Karun's 100.
08:51Yeah, what a finish to the innings.
08:5619 fours and five sixes in this innings.
09:00And five of those sixes have come from Brad Evans.
09:03Crowd are loving it.
09:05But spare thoughts for Ben Curran.
09:08Well, I'm very sure the home side will be pretty happy with what they see.
09:13248 Bangladesh need to win this one at 4.96 runs and over.
09:18We'll be back with you in about 25 minutes to watch the chase.
09:31And we spoke about those partnership, especially the last one, the seventh-figure partnership,
09:35which yielded 99 runs between Ben Curran and Brad Evans.
09:42This time a little bit too wide and is punched out of the way.
09:49Good try, but the ball wins the race.
09:52It's a good boundary from the bat of Tanzi Dasan.
09:59It's taken.
10:00Yep, extra bound does the trick.
10:03And it's that corridor of uncertainty.
10:05He had to play at it.
10:10He's got something behind it, but just watch the line here.
10:13It's got to be played.
10:14You cannot leave that one alone.
10:16And then it just carries on with his shape.
10:19A little bit of extra bounce and a nice height for Craig Irvin.
10:22That second slip.
10:24Shumashaka has gone for five.
10:25Bangladesh are 13 for one.
10:27Ding.
10:29And then you get delivered like that.
10:32That is a terrific shot.
10:33Stand and deliver through the covers.
10:35And he picks up his first boundary.
10:37It's mid-wicket area.
10:39Shot.
10:43That is a really good pickup shot.
10:46And it's gone all the way.
10:52And it's gone all the way.
10:54Brad Evans does it again.
10:57First over into the attack.
11:00And he's creating magic for Zimbabwe.
11:06This one just cuts him into half.
11:08Gets inside after hitting the surface and gets the inside part of the bat.
11:14And Brad Evans has struck.
11:17That was Shanto goes for nine.
11:19Bangladesh 38 for two.
11:24That's a shot.
11:26Full face of the bat.
11:28And Ingarawa could just have his hands on his knees.
11:33Oh, he's used his feet well here.
11:35And got down.
11:36And got the boundary early in this.
11:38Brad Evans over.
11:44Shouts of catch it.
11:45It's hit firmly.
11:47Oh, there's nothing doing for the fielder.
11:49It was hit far too well.
11:56Stunning.
11:58Really is.
12:00Picks the gap beautifully.
12:06Runs it.
12:11That's gone through.
12:15Poundry for Ridhoi.
12:19Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
12:21That is a slog and a half.
12:23Who's just wondering you don't try your luck against a part-timer.
12:28That is a poor shot.
12:29That is a poor shot.
12:31First ODI wicket.
12:35From Brian Bennett and that two of the well-set left-hander Tanzeed Hassan.
12:40Only got himself to blame.
12:42Gone for 57.
12:43And they've got the wicket they wanted.
12:45At 1.22 for three.
12:52With.
12:55And squeeze through the offside for four.
12:58Valuable boundary for Bangladesh to end the 31st over.
13:011.38 for three.
13:06Lovely.
13:08It's such a good shot because he's got a gap.
13:12A minuscule gap behind square.
13:14So frustrated.
13:17Those will be free runs again.
13:20Yeah, the line's not right here from Muzarabani.
13:29Worked away behind square.
13:31It's been an area he's been very good at getting it into Ridhoi.
13:35Newman Namuri.
13:36Should have kept that down to two.
13:42Beautiful.
13:43Really, really beautiful.
13:44This is terrific here from Ridhoi.
13:47He's got back-to-back boundaries off Brad Evans.
13:49And this one is so well-crafted.
13:52Just shimmies down the wicket.
13:53Four runs from it.
13:58An important breakthrough.
14:01Wrestling Madhaviri has gotten the big wicket.
14:05Brad Evans running in from the boundary.
14:07It runs in and takes a comfortable catch.
14:11As it's Ridhoi who's gone.
14:13A little mini drink has just broken that little momentum.
14:16He got it high on the bat.
14:18He wanted to play it flat, pretty sure.
14:20But he's played it straight into the hands of a fielder who doesn't make mistakes.
14:25He is really going to feel that he's missed out on a great opportunity taking the side home.
14:32Tohit goes for 60.
14:34169 for four now.
14:38It's in the air.
14:39It's in the air.
14:40It's in the air.
14:41He's gone.
14:42That aggression hasn't worked.
14:45Saikat has gifted his wicket to Engarava.
14:48He was looking to attack in a different mode as he walked in.
14:52He didn't time it at all.
14:54And long legs.
14:54Muzarabani got under it.
14:56Legitimately good delivery here.
14:58It's hard into the wicket.
15:00It's at the body.
15:01And he's had to judge it well.
15:02It's a good catch.
15:04As Bangladesh have lost their fifth wicket.
15:07And it's Saikat.
15:08Seven from nine.
15:10176 for five.
15:14And just before that, Wesley got one.
15:18That should be a boundary.
15:19Now that's placement.
15:21Low risk, high value shot.
15:26Oh, that's found the outside edge.
15:28It's going to run away.
15:30Newman Namurie is not going to be able to catch up.
15:36Pulls away this time on the onside.
15:38And perfectly placed by Mehdi.
15:41Another boundary here.
15:47Good shot, that.
15:48Really runs here.
15:49Four of them.
15:50Once you pass that short cover, there's nobody protecting the boundary line over there.
15:59Picked up nicely into the gap for a boundary.
16:03This time it's Nurul earlier.
16:05Mehdi played it in the same zone.
16:06This is a big over.
16:07The one they were looking for.
16:09And Strom, the Zimbabwe captain.
16:13And again, catches is the call.
16:15Gone.
16:1612 runs coming of the over.
16:18And eventually a similar shot down to the lap of Ryan Burl.
16:23Sixth wicket comes down at 207.
16:27Got a big over and tried to extract a little more out of it.
16:31Left arm over the wicket.
16:33Left arm over the wicket changes the angle.
16:34And this time, Nurul picks out long leg.
16:37Brian Burl takes a straight forward catch.
16:40And as it's swung back in Zimbabwe's favor.
16:46Good innings.
16:47Another good innings in this ODI series.
16:50Comes to an end for Nurul.
16:5238 from 41.
16:53Bangladesh are 207 for six.
16:56Good support.
17:01He's complaining about the light.
17:03Complaining about his gloves.
17:05And you play a shot like that.
17:10Plays the big shot and gone.
17:13Yet another twist in this game.
17:17Richard Ngarava has gone with his spearhead Muzarabani.
17:24And he's picked up a crucial wicket.
17:26He's not going to blow your full delivery.
17:29And it's a little bit touch.
17:32On a good length area.
17:33And he went through the shot.
17:34Wanted to hit it over the top.
17:36Because his eyes lit up.
17:37He wanted to go over the top on the offside.
17:39But three fielders inside the circle.
17:41Doesn't clear it.
17:42Simple catch to the cover fielder.
17:44Gone for eight.
17:45Two and nine for seven.
17:46Behind square.
17:49Question, question, question given.
17:51Oh my.
17:53You asked for magic.
17:55So Kinder Aza.
17:56He will produce it.
17:59Yet another twist in what has been a fantastic game up to this point.
18:06Lost quite a few since then.
18:08You are playing all around it.
18:10And it looked pretty straightforward decision for the umpire.
18:14So there goes another wicket.
18:16Tuscan departs.
18:17Departs for naught.
18:19Two, two, two.
18:20For eight.
18:21One, two, three.
18:22Yeah.
18:24Bolin.
18:26Brad Evans.
18:30Another twist.
18:31Can you believe it?
18:34It's a superb delivery.
18:36To keep Zimbabwe alive.
18:41What a game of cricket.
18:45And a water delivery at this stage of the game.
18:48Full straight.
18:49You miss.
18:49I hit.
18:50Schorifel gone for six.
18:52Two, 34 for nine.
18:54Deep backwards square leg in a cow corner.
18:58Lead the way in the air.
19:00Zimbabwe.
19:02For everybody that has stuck around.
19:05For everybody that has stuck around.
19:07You've been rewarded.
19:10Look at them.
19:11On the grass embankment.
19:13It's the skipper yet again.
19:17It's the skipper yet again.
19:20They get across the line.
19:23What a game of cricket.
19:25And the skipper tops it off by removing the skipper of Bangladesh in the air.
19:34Straight to Brad Evans.
19:36And Zimbabwe win the second ODI by 13 runs.
19:43And they win the series.
19:48247 for six.
19:50Plays 234 all out.
19:52Zimbabwe win by 13 runs.
20:04Zimbabwe win by 13 runs.
