00:13All right, it's a hot one here in Bulawayo Queen Sports Club for the decider in the T20
00:20International Series. It's the third one between Zimbabwe and Bangladesh.
00:27He's out there with the two captains at the toss. And Zimbabwe won the toss on this occasion
00:34and no hesitation. They wanted to bat first. Have a look at the 11 they put out with just
00:41the one change. Tino Maposa coming into the side for Mosekiwa, Tashinga. Joined by Atali
00:48Khan, give us your thoughts on this 11.
00:50Yeah, they had to make a force change. Nahidrana not available because it's a fuller side strain.
00:56So in comes Abdul Ghaffar's set line. And then they've also bought in Mosekiwa and Shoika.
01:02So they've made two changes. Shoahan goes and Nahidrana goes.
01:05Now then, decider is underway.
01:15And starts with a short one.
01:20Flicked away through the leg side. Work to do for the fielder. Cannot get there. First boundary.
01:29In the air and gone. He did it a few days ago to mid wicket. He does it again. This
01:37time to square cover.
01:39Nothing wrong with that delivery. It's legal.
01:44Off the back foot. But again, it's aerial. Soft dismissal in the end. Yasser Ali says,
01:49thank you very much. He goes for four. It's six for one.
01:57Oh, some shot. A beauty by Bennett.
02:05No, he goes short and punished.
02:12Yeah, that's a good shot. Wait for the bullet to come into your realm and then capitalize.
02:20Been looking for this shot. He's been looking to feed through the upside but has found fielders.
02:26This time, finds the gap.
02:30Oh, comes down the wicket. Fortunate to find the outside edge.
02:36Three fours in a row to end the over. 15 off the over. 29 for one.
02:44Heave through the onside. Does this go for four? Yes, it does.
02:53Slower into the surface. Sets up. Hits on top of the bounds for four to end the fifth. 38 for
02:59one.
03:06Oh, now. He thought he could get to that, the fielder.
03:14He's got a hold of that one, Dion Myers. With and dispatched.
03:25Very good, Brian Bennett. Good option. Hasn't looked to force it.
03:32They've got a platform set. And boundaries like this will help.
03:44It was going to be so crucial. This innings for Zimbabwe to propel them to a big total.
03:53But this will just derail those plans.
04:01Big inside edge and it hits that. Lextap takes it out of the ground.
04:08Yeah, he'll be disappointed. He'll be very disappointed.
04:11Well played innings. God comes to an end. 47 of 38. 77 for two.
04:20Thick outside edge. It will run away. No need to bother.
04:24Four.
04:29Big slog sweep. Fielder's back.
04:32And all he can do is watch it sail over the boundary.
04:35So, brings up the hundred for Zimbabwe. Moves on to 47.
04:41Goes again. This time along the ground.
04:44And is that a brilliant piece of fielding or is that four?
04:50That's four. 50.
04:53For Dion Myers. His third in T20 international cricket.
04:58What a time to bring it up.
05:03Catch it. Catch it. Yes.
05:06Gone.
05:08Sekundar Raza has dragged that from outside the off stump.
05:14And he's picked one of the better Bangladesh fielders.
05:17Yasir Ali. Brilliant on the boundary. Takes the catch comfortably.
05:22And if you don't time it, you'll find yourself in most occasion in trouble.
05:27Yeah, it's a good catch. Had to go to his left.
05:30Yasir takes it easy in the end.
05:32The skipper departs for three. One of seven for three.
05:35Do that from here though.
05:38Change up.
05:39But it doesn't matter. It's a great shot here.
05:43By Dale Myers.
05:45It goes for four.
05:47And I'm going to come back to later on.
05:50Heaves through the leg side.
05:51Does he find the gap?
05:52Yes, it does.
05:53Gets the line wrong there.
05:54Seiferdin.
05:56They'll pick up nine off the over.
05:57127 for three.
06:01Oh, this has height.
06:05Ridoi.
06:06Ridoi takes the catch.
06:08Into the surface.
06:10Looks to go big.
06:12And it's an excellent, excellent piece of bowling.
06:16Good.
06:18Over here.
06:20He's gotten his changes.
06:22Absolutely perfect.
06:23And he picks up Ryan Pearl.
06:25How well has Ridoi moved to get underneath this one
06:28and get into a good position to affect the catch?
06:31Seven from seven.
06:33And Zababwe are 129 for four.
06:39Cut away.
06:40Tough chance.
06:42Look for two when they do.
06:44Oh, he's got to be gone.
06:47Excellent piece of fielding.
06:48Even though the catch goes in despair.
06:52Richard off the boundary is fantastic.
06:55And he targets Evans' end.
07:02And then he's just moved so well across the ground here
07:05and gets the one-handed pickup.
07:07And the flat flat throw over the stumps.
07:09And Brad Evans is not even in the picture as the stumps are disturbed.
07:17He goes for one, 131 for five.
07:22Is that an edge?
07:23Yes, it is.
07:26What a spell of bowling.
07:28What a space of this game.
07:31It's been dominated by clever bowling and wickets for Bangladesh.
07:36Back to back now.
07:37The over number 18.
07:39And then this has been sensational from Saifuddin.
07:43No pace.
07:44I think it's the key here.
07:46And Clive Madande is gone without scoring.
07:49131 for six.
07:50Spell two for 29.
07:53Oh, my goodness.
07:56Oh, that's gone a long way.
07:58That's into the swimming pool.
08:01That's a big hit to finish the over.
08:04138 for six.
08:05It's been great.
08:09Finds the field.
08:10They'll be looking for two.
08:11I wouldn't do it.
08:13No.
08:14No.
08:16I know you are looking.
08:18I know you're looking for runs.
08:20But the set batter sacrifices himself there.
08:24And a new batter will be on strike.
08:27Excellent fielding by Richard.
08:30He's to the ball quickly.
08:32And has the time here to look up and really get into a strong throwing position.
08:38And a couple of bounces to the keeper.
08:41And Dion Myers has a entertaining knock has come to an end.
08:4574.
08:46140 for seven.
08:47Right.
08:48Final delivery.
08:50Heaving through the leg side.
08:51But there's a fielder there.
08:53They'll run nonetheless.
08:57And a direct hit from the deep.
08:59Bangladesh have been superb in the field.
09:02They'll go upstairs and just see if Zimbabwe steal the second or are short of the second.
09:09Absolutely spot on.
09:16Takes him a couple of attempts to actually get it in the hands.
09:20And even though with the direct hit, I think Milton Schumba gets into his ground
09:24safely.
09:26Yeah, I agree and I concur.
09:30Not out.
09:32A little bit of a clip there by big screen.
09:35It's definitely not out.
09:41What a phase this has been for Bangladesh.
09:45Zimbabwe would have been thinking to themselves.
09:47You know what?
09:48We'll make use of the last five.
09:50Bangladesh were up for the task.
09:54Bangladesh need 144 runs from their 120 deliveries.
09:59At a shade over seven runs to the over to win the T20 series.
10:04The run chase on the other side.
10:06First tap to save.
10:09Now.
10:11How's this for an opening shot?
10:18One bounce.
10:19That should be.
10:20And four.
10:24Up in the air.
10:25Shouts of catch it.
10:27Muzarabani gets underneath it.
10:28And Muzarabani completes the catch.
10:31First wicket goes down for Bangladesh.
10:35The bowlers are clever.
10:36Clever.
10:37In terms of what length and line that he could bowl to so that they can get result in that
10:42favour in that fashion.
10:45Full marks to Richard and Grava.
10:48And I'm afraid nothing much to say about Cypherson dismissal.
10:52Go on for four.
10:53Four for one.
10:56Lovely pickup.
10:58Such a good pickup.
11:00Just the use of the line and the length.
11:03Two point four.
11:07Does he find the fielder?
11:08Does he find the fielder?
11:10Oh, he does.
11:11And he just falls back.
11:13Because he was so close to the boundary ropes.
11:17And they come back for another run.
11:21Oh, Brian Bennett.
11:24He was still moving back on his way.
11:29Big shot.
11:31Some shot.
11:32Whoa.
11:33Him on.
11:34Into the piece.
11:36All the way for six.
11:37Ends the over.
11:3838 for one.
11:41Now turns it.
11:44All the way for half a dozen.
11:50Oh, in the gap.
11:52Oh, this outfield is outstanding for four.
12:01Oh, that's going to be extras.
12:04That's going to be extras.
12:06These are important runs that have gone through the gloves of
12:09Tadeo and Ashimaru Mani.
12:11He's going to be given his white.
12:16Goes again.
12:17Is this a chance?
12:19Yes, it is.
12:21And Brad Evans takes the catch.
12:26Maybe a slight turning point.
12:29They needed a wicket.
12:33I'm not sure this shot is absolutely necessary.
12:37And he's been beaten in the flight by Skanderaza.
12:40And Brad Evans has to run in a long way from the long on boundary.
12:43Diving forward takes a good catch.
12:47Emon's gone for 24.
12:49And Bangladesh are 59 for two.
12:54Pick up.
12:55Pick up.
12:56Will that go all the way?
12:58Yes, it does.
12:59He plays that shot so well.
13:05Big shot.
13:06Fielder back.
13:07Fielder back.
13:08He bails out and over the fielder for four.
13:11It's Madande.
13:17In the air.
13:18In the air.
13:19In the air.
13:20It goes all the way for six.
13:22Over the head of Madande at deep mid wicket.
13:30He wants two because it's come off the thigh pad and it's soft.
13:34But Mapo says quick enough to ensure that they just get one.
13:42Big shot.
13:43Does he have enough on it?
13:47Oh, oh, oh my goodness.
13:51Takes the catch.
13:52Rolls into the boundary.
13:55Tries to palm it off to Dion Myers.
13:57Six.
13:59You were right.
14:01Tanjit Hassan.
14:04Shouts of catch it.
14:06Oh no, that's happened again.
14:10This game for Zimbabwe.
14:13Shouts of catches and he takes it.
14:16That is a good one.
14:18A skipper takes out the skipper.
14:25A good catch here by Sikandar Raza.
14:28And the partnership of 63 comes to an end.
14:30He goes for 24, 122 for three.
14:37Oh, some shot.
14:40Oh, timing.
14:42The sound from the middle of the bat.
14:47Edged and taken.
14:51It's a good catch.
14:52It's a good grab.
14:53Really good grab.
14:56Yeah, throws everything at it and has to move very quickly to his right.
15:01Hangs on to this.
15:02Asi Ali has to go for 10.
15:05It's 137 for four.
15:09Bolden.
15:10Oh, do we have a twist on our hands?
15:14Do we?
15:17Don't go anywhere.
15:19And he picks up the wicket of Mossadeghou Sen.
15:22Which means Tandir Hassan stays at the non-striker's end.
15:25And a new batter will have to face the next delivery.
15:29Gone for one.
15:30140 for five.
15:34In the air.
15:36Where's this?
15:37Right bow.
15:38Oh my goodness.
15:39I said don't go anywhere.
15:43Get out of your seats.
15:47It's 50th T20 international wicket.
15:50And what a time to pick that wicket.
15:55Mohamed Saifuddin thought he was in business to put that away.
15:58All it did was go straight into the hands of Longhorn.
16:02This time around, no heroics.
16:04Gone first ball deck.
16:06140 for six.
16:10Fall.
16:15Came over.
16:18It's done and dusted.
16:20Oh, it's getting tasty out in the middle.
16:27The game is done and dusted.
16:30Brad Evans not happy.
16:33But in the end, it's over.
16:36Bangladesh go on to win by four wickets.
16:38Which means they've clinched this T20 international series 2-1.
16:45There is the summary.
16:47Myers at 74 of 53.
16:49Kept things alive.
16:50Bennett for 47 of 38.
16:532 for 35 by Saifuddin.
16:56143 for 7.
16:57Restricted Zimbabwe in the final five overs.
17:0034 for 4.
17:01Bangladesh 144 for 6.
17:04Tanzid unbeaten on 66.
17:062 for 20 by Richard Ngaraba.
17:08And Bangladesh win by four wickets.
