00:13Good afternoon from the Queen's Sports Club here in Bulawayo. We're all set and ready for the second
00:18T20 International with Zimbabwe and Bangladesh facing each other once again. It's an afternoon
00:25start. Sikandar Raza called it right the first time Zimbabwe winning a toss on this tour
00:30of Bangladesh tour to Zimbabwe and he's decided that he's going to bowl first. Bangladesh making
00:38that one change. Nassim has been left out. He's been rested and Rishad the leg spinner comes in
00:42to the 11. That's the only change Bangladesh brings into this match. Zimbabwe on the other hand
00:47going room for Ben Karan still. They'll go with Bennett and Marumani's opening. Myers and then
00:53their bowling unit. That's been the key. Muzurubani and Garawa Evans. There we go. Match on.
01:06Makes room. It's a deliberate move from the batter there. Just going outside the line of the ball and
01:12trying to play it over fine leg and he's done that to perfection.
01:19Oh that was very close to that score leg fielder. That will go to the boundary as well. I really
01:25don't understand what is this idea of starting that one over with spin. Hit down the ground.
01:33That is a drop. You get a feeling it's a drop because the ball has just slowed down. Some of
01:39the pace has
01:39been taken by the fielder there. There will be some work for the television umpire there but that's an
01:45opportunity that's gone begging. Short ball again and this time goes very very fine past Muzurubani.
01:56Boundary here.
02:00Yeah it was a driving length and Tanzid is right on top of it.
02:08A fish but safe and we'll go down to the boundary so Zimbabwe leaking runs here. Five of us bold.
02:13It's 41 for no loss.
02:18Oh some shot.
02:21Saif Hasan where's this? It's gone all the way for half a dozen. There's so many levels.
02:28Ah this will be runs.
02:31Now that'll bring up 50 for Bangladesh unbeaten.
02:34In the first t20.
02:37Oh this makes a good sound. Oh it's gone a distance. Shift in the game.
02:44Oh full toss. Is this in the gap? Yes it is. The gap doesn't matter. It's gone all the way
02:52for six.
02:55That's one of his favorite shots. So the pickup shots one bounce to the fence and that's the other
03:00thing which has been impressive especially from Tanzee Dasan. The number of boundaries with that boundary
03:06picks up is 50.
03:11Shouts of catching.
03:14Put down Milton Shumba.
03:18One more time.
03:21Oh shot. Top shot. The ramp.
03:25Now one of the better shots from the back of the right-hander. Saif Hasan.
03:34Shot.
03:34Shot. That is glorious.
03:40Incredible. He's going to take a few chances. He knows even if it goes in the air I might be
03:45in
03:45business. Now it's gone to the boundary and also there's the fifth t20 international 50. He's been
03:52lucky. That big boundary. He's gone again. Now is this an opportunity? No it's not. Perfectly placed.
04:01Back to back boundaries.
04:05Balled him.
04:08Big heave to the left side.
04:13Doesn't make the connection.
04:15Took them a while.
04:17Looking to play that big heave down the left side.
04:20The ball probably not coming as he anticipated.
04:24And it goes to the defense.
04:27Saif Hasan after making a very lucky 55.
04:31Is gone. 120 for one.
04:36Gone.
04:39Slightly shorter into the body.
04:41Trying to cut that.
04:41Gets a bottom edge.
04:43If I'm not wrong.
04:44Chops it on.
04:45Got two and first for Ingarava.
04:48It's banged into the wicket.
04:50He's looking to paddle it down towards third man.
04:54Probably too close to the stumps to do that.
04:57And Garava picks up his first.
05:00That's it.
05:00I mean is gone for 58 and it's 122 for two.
05:09Oh that wasn't far away from Murab Marumani's gloves.
05:17Gives the charge.
05:18It's been big on him.
05:19Chance here.
05:20Another chance.
05:21Oh they've taken it.
05:22Is this the moment that Zimbabwe bounces back?
05:26They've got one foot in the door.
05:30Two in the over once again for Ingarava.
05:33Really good catch.
05:35He's running away and over his left shoulder.
05:38It appears.
05:39Has to get it in the dive.
05:40And hangs on to a really important catch.
05:44As Zimbabwe are clawing their way back into this one.
05:46Tawid Hridois.
05:47It's gone for six.
05:49128 for three.
05:50So maybe somewhere between 160 and 70.
05:53Big shot.
05:54Big ground.
05:55And sails over for a maximum.
05:58That's kind of form Yasser is in at the moment.
06:00Feels like he's looking to take control.
06:04That's gone high in the air.
06:05Chance.
06:06Sikandar Raza under it.
06:07Gone.
06:08That's the fourth wicket.
06:10They're looking to go to 180-90.
06:13Imon goes.
06:14Doesn't get it on the bat.
06:16Making sure there's something behind that front line.
06:19He's just kept it away from the hits towards the leg side.
06:23And that allows Skandar Raza to take quite a simple catch.
06:30Imon.
06:33137 for four.
06:38Oh, that's a very brilliantly done.
06:40Nothing flashy about it.
06:41It's just placement.
06:43Starts his account with a boundary.
06:48Shot ball.
06:49And gone.
06:51What is happening here?
06:53Norola after a boundary.
06:55Goes to Evans.
06:56Another over with two wickets.
06:59That does the damage.
07:00He's followed him.
07:01His noodles made a little bit of room to try and find space through the offside.
07:06And the bounce up.
07:08Gets him into an awkward position.
07:09He nicks off for four.
07:11141 for five.
07:16Smashes that.
07:17That's a powerful hit there from Yasir.
07:19That's the kind of power he possesses.
07:23Makes room to open up that onside.
07:25And he's placed that very well.
07:27Yasir.
07:28Boundary for him.
07:32His board a fuller one.
07:34And what a smart way of doing it.
07:35That's a very street smart shot.
07:38Knowing exactly where the field is.
07:40It slices that.
07:43Full toss.
07:44Probably a second look at that.
07:46He's asking the question above waist height.
07:49That is a freebie.
07:52Slower one.
07:54Picked up.
07:54That's another maximum.
07:55This is really going well for Bangladesh.
08:01Picked up.
08:02And three out of three.
08:05Three sixes here.
08:07Information to the boiler confuses things.
08:10And again.
08:11That's going flat.
08:13That's gone for the fourth.
08:15Four and four.
08:18It's gone high.
08:20He'll take some catching here.
08:23And it's been dropped.
08:25I've lost count of how many drops we've seen today in this innings.
08:2928 runs coming off that.
08:32He's hit four sixes.
08:33As I mentioned, becomes the first Bangladesh batter to hit four sixes in a row in this format.
08:38He has really pushed that top gear and got the side to 186 for five.
08:45All right.
08:46So here we are.
08:47Second T20 international.
08:48Zimbabwe need 187 to win at 9.35 runs and over.
08:53Don't go too far because we're coming back with the chase.
08:58Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
09:00Runs.
09:04Does it get away?
09:06Yes it does.
09:07Dive in vain.
09:12big shot all the way for half a dozen
09:23my money in the piece now shoveled around the corner for four
09:34I cannot believe it it's innocuous it's a bit of a nothing shot you've won the over but you will
09:43lose the wicket he could have hit this anywhere in the leg side field and he picks the captain
09:52ridoy he goes for four Zimbabwe lose their first 15 for one that takes down the score and when you
10:02target him and you remove him it causes more issues for the home side this is excellent
10:11bowling by Rana and he's bowled short and quick roughed up the Zimbabwe batsman and the final
10:19one goes full straight and dismantles the furniture lovely bowling better gone for 11 it's 19 for two
10:31bold number three premeditated yes the length wasn't right and he's gone through with it
10:43Dion Myers goes for 421 for three oh yes oh yes Milton edge gap and four
11:09runs here yeah I'll be four of them nicely placed low full toss just helped it on its way second
11:19the
11:19Raza yeah talk about sixes here's another one it's from the ban of the skipper second the Raza
11:32down the wicket then smashes it over the head of the baller for another boundary it's looking like
11:37good over on a pitch which is really good for batting that's a lovely sweep just a touch for that
11:48Shumba has put that away for another boundary
11:54edges they'll take the runs they'll go to boundary for four more just a little bit of
11:59wit then Raza threw his bat at that he's got it yes he has would love to see that again
12:09was that the
12:10wrong on but he has taken that inside part of the bat and that's a big wicket he's picked up
12:15at the big
12:15fish he's looking dangerous wasn't he that's a good good catch a smart catch just a hint of turn tried
12:23to play square of the if you get on the offside gets an upset part of the bat to the
12:26keeper gone
12:27for 28 65 for four yeah he's got him and I'll tell you what he's got a man right behind
12:35the arm of
12:36the baller walking by I wonder why he never stopped it that's a second one for Rishad in his second
12:41over
12:41and now in his next over is a cleaned up the left hander Shumba departs for 19 and half of
12:53the side back
12:54in the earth it's 68 for five that middle order that's a big shot it's a big shot that's the
13:01direction
13:02where Saifu didn't hold those sixes this time for Bangladesh my danger in danger of getting caught and
13:12he does get caught Rishad the scent takes a catch easy one half tracker it was really ready to be
13:18hit
13:19and what he's done is he's played it down straight to the fielder at deep square but then there goes
13:25for 180 for six Zimbabwe thick inside edge and the results a good one for Berlin Zimbabwe 89
13:4327 now oh that's poor fielding they've given away a lot of extras here of the Bangladesh fieldsman
13:59partnership oh that's gone up in the air he hasn't got that at all and that is the demise of
14:07Ryan Burr
14:09don't think this was quite in the slot for this shot and as a result he just can't find the
14:15distance
14:16heading towards the longest boundary when Richard's done a great job here for Bangladesh breaking this
14:2229 run partnership 29 from 19 for Ryan Burr 109 for seven
14:33top age gone he favors leg side does young was secure and that's where he was looking to go just
14:43close
14:43the face slightly early outside edge simple catch Zimbabwe lose another he's gonna be targeting the next side
14:50that angle just makes it a lot harder to access and touching gum secure he's the eighth we get to
15:00four
15:00four eleven one hundred nine for eight hit hard hit well one bounce four to in the over 121 for
15:12eight
15:15big shot all the way for half a dozen the player
15:27there'll be a boundary as he has to go he has to go now who's not here
15:34plays a big shot this goes all the way for six
15:41clicks it around the corner here to one at six but you'll pick up four corner change of angle
15:52that should be out is it it's an excellent catch
16:01change of pace it's the bigger part of the ground and it disguises it well it's a bit on the
16:09offside so
16:09pulls it not in control it looks like he was a little bit slow to start with had to dive
16:15in what a
16:15fantastic grab that is
16:22Eamon takes the beauty Brad Evans gone for 25. Zimbabwe nine down for 149. Krumpi Hunsson
16:30bowl next off Stumpova
16:34and they will stay in the series on the square the series with that last wicket in the bag
