00:01Hello and good afternoon everyone and welcome to the opening match of this
00:05Itisalat ACB ODI Tri-Nation series powered by Super Gola and it is between Bangladesh and Zimbabwe
00:12And they are on at the toss. Zimbabwe won the toss and rightly so decided to back first.
00:23Quite a good looking Zimbabwe side with Brian Bennett and Taylor and
00:29Sikandar Raza and Ben Karan make a very strong batting side also three seamers and
00:34spinners in their side as I'm joined by Farveiz Maruf who will have a look at the Bangladesh side.
00:39Welcome Farveiz.
00:40Misses out in this game through injury but still very formidable in the top quarter.
00:45Tanjit, Sommir, Shanto, they'll hold the key along with Tawir Tridore and the plenty of all-rounders in the middle
00:50as well. Good to see Rishad Hussain in the set-up as well.
01:01And Ryan on the money and that outside the off-term line from Tuskeen Amat straight away.
01:07Oh, this has come in. This has come in. Louder beat. Louder beat. It is given.
01:13The first break through for Bangladesh. Tuskeen Amat draws the first blood.
01:20I think Brian Bennett is confused whether it's given on Inside A. Joy is with W.
01:24Just having a chat to Sam Curran. It is allowed DRS timer is on and Brian Bennett goes upstairs.
01:38Standby. Waiting for untred again.
01:46Yeah, keep rolling. Flat line when ball passes the bat. So satisfied. No bat involved. So no bat.
01:54Can you go for ball tracking? When ready please with original decision is out.
02:02Original decision out. Landing outside of. Impacted line. Wickets on the ice call.
02:10So finally stay with your original out decision. Standby. Your signal please.
02:20Yeah, and the Empire Pollocker got it right. That was just enough for the Empire's call.
02:25Brian Bennett. Hear the frustration. And tells you the story. Bangladesh are pumped up. And why not?
02:31Tuskeen Amat enjoying it out in the middle. First over. First wicket.
02:36Brian Bennett without scoring any run goes out. Zimbabwe lose their first off the first over.
02:42It's no run. One wicket down. Yeah, this is a good shot.
02:48And leaned on to it nicely. Full face off the bat. First boundary for Zimbabwe and Ben Curran.
02:56Dangerous. That is too straight. That is too straight by Shawtyful Islam.
03:00Exactly what I spoke about. But this time the left. Shorter. Line two straight. Hence, he pays the price for
03:06a boundary.
03:08Yeah, it's almost there. Almost there. Couple of times. This time around. He goes for the shot.
03:14And that run down to the boundary for Full Walk Mobile Super 4.
03:20Oh, that's a good ball. That's a good shot. Dennis Gibbon. Second wicket for Tuskeen Amat.
03:27And that is two of the experienced Ben Curran. He won't go for the review, will he?
03:35It is a lot DRS chamber on. Sam Curran as well as just like Brian Bennett goes upstairs.
03:46Keep rolling. Keep rolling. I can see clear gap between ball and bat. So satisfied. No bat involved.
03:53Ball tracking when ready, please.
04:09Standby.
04:15Ball tracking is coming up.
04:18Landing in line. Impact in line.
04:21Wicket seating. Original decision out.
04:24Police stay with your original out decision. Standby.
04:27Your skin make a triple kill.
04:30The decision remains on field. What a beautiful deal by Tuskeen Amat.
04:34Enough movement to bamboozle the batter.
04:38Zimbabwe burn a review. Going upstairs.
04:41And what a start by the master. Tuskeen Amat giving the perfect start for his side after losing the toss.
04:48Ben Curran gone for six. Zimbabwe in trouble. 17 for two.
04:54Yeah, that's a beautiful shot.
04:57Pulwak Mobile. Super four. Off the bat of Chiga who's looked really good out in the middle.
05:04He's given away only two runs in this over so far.
05:08Oh, this is high in the air. And it's taken by Nurudislav.
05:15He knows it that he has thrown away a golden opportunity.
05:19As soon as the length was slightly short of vent for the year. Big shot.
05:25Tuskeen Amat has been rewarded yet again for some fantastic consistent channel bowling.
05:30And he's picked up his third cricket. As on debut.
05:34Tafatswa Siga walks back after scoring 16. Zimbabwe 24 for three.
05:40Whiff. Crunched. And four.
05:49Shot. Brilliant from Irvin.
05:58Nice. Force that one Brendan Taylor. Back past the bowler.
06:03Much needed boundary for him and for Zimbabwe.
06:08This time Brendan Taylor goes up and over.
06:11The straight option once again.
06:17Yeah, it's a shot that he plays very well Brendan Taylor.
06:25Cut away sweeper back. He gets a hand to it.
06:31And I think that could be four.
06:35Sorry for Son the fielder.
06:36Cut.
06:39So at this stage he's okay.
06:42Because nothing's touching.
06:46The boundary tape.
06:49Now look at that right hand.
06:51Because that's going to go into the boundary.
06:53There.
06:54And you can see he's in contact with the ball.
06:56With the other hand.
06:58So that will be signaled for.
07:02Wonderful work from.
07:03From.
07:04The cameraman to give us those shots.
07:07And Lord Dean Pilik of South Africa will confirm for.
07:13Pumped away.
07:14Dragged down by Mossadegh.
07:16And Irvine who's such a good player is spin.
07:19And the two of the most experienced batters.
07:22Making sure Zimbabwe post a good total on the board.
07:25Again.
07:26Nicely picked.
07:27Not the best of deliveries.
07:30Second boundary of the over.
07:33Need that momentum when you play those flagship events.
07:36Nicely struck.
07:37By Irvine.
07:39Will reach the fence for four.
07:44Powerful stroke.
07:47It's a couple back mobile four.
07:49From Taylor.
07:53Naturally go on.
07:54Beautiful.
07:56That for me.
07:57The shot of the day so far.
07:59Ready.
08:01They've given themselves a chance.
08:03Nicely done.
08:04Brendan Taylor on the sweep.
08:06Gets four.
08:08And.
08:10Lovely stroke.
08:12Exilating stroke from Taylor for four.
08:20And for the first time in the sittings.
08:22The pull shot as well.
08:25Once again.
08:26Sweep in the play.
08:27And that will run down to the boundary.
08:29This boundary has come after.
08:3046 delivery.
08:32Welcome boundary.
08:33Will walk mobile two before.
08:36As a reverse sweep comes out.
08:38And it's going to break that partnership.
08:41Simple catch on offer.
08:43Taking it from outside the leg's tongue.
08:46And straight forward catch.
08:48For the filter coming in from the circle.
08:51Jubilation.
08:51Striking at the key moment.
08:53When the partnership was building.
08:55Brendan Taylor's innings has been cut short for 81.
08:59And it is 74 for four.
09:00Look.
09:01Saif Hasan.
09:03Raza won't take long.
09:06Yes!
09:07To line him up.
09:07He's attempted to.
09:09And as a consequence.
09:10He's got an under edge.
09:11And it's an excellent catch.
09:12Held behind the stumps.
09:15Saif is doing.
09:16An excellent trick here.
09:19Off the glove.
09:20On the second attempt.
09:21Wicketkeeper.
09:21Up to the stun.
09:23Brilliant take.
09:25Good concentration.
09:26And nice collection in the end.
09:29Two wickets in two overs.
09:31Second that goes for four.
09:331.82 for five.
09:38That's driven through the gap.
09:39Of where the fielder.
09:40Just came from.
09:41It'll race to the rope.
09:42To get Madavere's innings.
09:44And running.
09:45That's a couple whack mobile.
09:47Super four.
09:48It's 1.88 for five.
09:51It's.
09:52Lofted drive.
09:53Down the ground.
09:55Bouncing away for four.
09:57Good start from Irvin.
10:02Now the reverse sweep.
10:03This is outstanding batting.
10:05Batting of the highest quality from the southpaw.
10:08Irvin.
10:12Oh he exposes his stumps.
10:14But he succeeds in doing so.
10:16It's a one handed sweep shot.
10:17They're continuing to target Rashad Usain.
10:21Into the pitch and pull away on the onside.
10:25And boundary.
10:28Got the platform Zimbabwe.
10:31Goes for the reverse.
10:34This reverse sweep is paying dividend to Zimbabwe and Madavere at the moment.
10:42Fielder back.
10:43Fielder back.
10:44Fielder back.
10:44And he's picked.
10:46The only fielder on the boundary behind square.
10:49Wesley Madavere.
10:52That's the case of you live by the sword.
10:55You die from it.
10:57Struck firmly.
10:59Straight into the hands of Shomar Sharka.
11:02Crestfallen.
11:03Gutted.
11:04Just looking good.
11:08Not anymore.
11:10He has to take that long walk back.
11:13Shorifu.
11:14Strikes for Bangladesh.
11:15It's a big wicket.
11:19With the umpire.
11:23A judge this to have carried it.
11:25It does.
11:26Without a problem at all.
11:28Pace off it.
11:29From Shorifu Islam.
11:31And two crucial, crucial wickets for Bangladesh.
11:35Craig Irvin.
11:36The backbone of the Zimbabwe innings falls for 93.
11:40224 for 7.
11:44Shot.
11:46And he can stand at the other side and enjoy Nyamuri's show as well.
11:53Gone.
11:55That's the wicket that Bangladesh were looking for.
12:00Once again frustrating Evans.
12:03With a couple of dot deliveries.
12:06He went for a big heave.
12:08Only manages to get that outside edge.
12:11Shorifu strikes for Bangladesh.
12:14Brad Evans depart after scoring 5.
12:17Zimbabwe.
12:17234 for 8.
12:22He's hit that wild fielder back.
12:24It's gone all the way.
12:27Superkola super six for Masakasa.
12:31That was brilliant hitting.
12:3666 meters.
12:38Fielder at one point may have thought he might get that one.
12:43So you'll expect something full and straight.
12:46Hit it out to the deep mid wicket fielders.
12:48Wow.
12:49He's gone short.
12:50It's a big boundary.
12:52But this young man.
12:56I'll tell you what.
12:57This has come out the middle and look at his reaction.
12:59He knew straight away.
13:02Khali 6 distance.
13:0486 meters.
13:08He's got ability this young man with the bats.
13:10And there's an example.
13:15Mustafizou will go left arm round for this final over.
13:19Oh.
13:20He's got a hold of that Masakasa.
13:24Superkola super six.
13:29Slow and delivery.
13:30That ball's got a passport now Tino.
13:33It does indeed.
13:39He goes down the ground this time.
13:42Lots of air time.
13:43And he's put it down the captain.
13:44He's parried it further towards the boundary.
13:48Shuma Shaka does the cleaning up and.
13:51Zimbabwe in the end.
13:53Get three so.
13:5550 overs completed.
13:57Zimbabwe eventually get themselves a respectable.
14:02271 for eight.
14:05How did they come about those runs?
14:07It was Brendan Taylor and Irvin in the middle.
14:1081 and 93 respectively.
14:13150 partnership.
14:15And then 21 apiece.
14:16And 17 and 15 respectively for Nyamuri and Masakasa.
14:21That did the job for Zimbabwe.
14:25Taskin.
14:26Outstanding at the top of the innings.
14:28He got the first three and really opened up the top order for Zimbabwe.
14:32Shorifu came back later.
14:33With a couple of wickets for himself.
14:36And so did Saif at the end of the innings.
14:40First ball in the channel.
14:42Good bounce that.
14:43For blessing Muzarabani.
14:45Watchful start from Tanzeed Hassan.
14:53Oh that is a crime.
14:56That is a freebie.
14:57Blessing Muzarabani is golden no ball.
15:00There is nothing behind the line.
15:04Free hit.
15:05He opens his arm.
15:06And smashes that for Super.
15:09Pulwak Mobile Super 4.
15:13And that is going down the next side.
15:16Just a little bit.
15:16Will run down to the boundary for Pulwak Mobile Super 4.
15:23Oh he can come down the track.
15:25And he can take it on.
15:29Oh he didn't know where it's going.
15:31He just let the bat there.
15:33And that runs down to the boundary.
15:35You will call that a Pulwak Mobile Super 4 nonetheless.
15:42Oh what a shot that is.
15:44Back foot punch.
15:45Beautifully timed textbook.
15:48Tanzeed Hassan shot.
15:50For 4.
15:51Pulwak Mobile Super 4.
15:54Oh wow.
15:56Onto the back foot.
15:58And smash this beautifully for another.
16:01Pulwak Mobile Super 4.
16:08Easy.
16:09Easy for Bangladesh.
16:12Not the type of start Zimbabwe would have hoped.
16:15Especially from Evans.
16:16He's been wayward.
16:17He's been wayward.
16:20Hey well.
16:22Nishoma Sharkar joins the party.
16:24That was short.
16:25And that was effortlessly played for a Pulwak Mobile Super 4.
16:31Deep square.
16:33Deep final again.
16:34Deep third.
16:35Oh that's beautiful.
16:36Back foot punch.
16:37Little away from the fielder who is inside the circle.
16:40And tremendous Tanzeed Hassan sends this for Pulwak Mobile Super 4.
16:46Oh this is not good.
16:48This is not good.
16:49Off to his pads.
16:50Runs down to the boundary.
16:51For another Pulwak Mobile Super 4.
16:54Back to back boundaries for Bangladesh.
17:00Oh there is an edge.
17:03And that has been taken.
17:04A very very good catch taken.
17:07Blessing Muzar Abani.
17:08As expected.
17:09Provide the first breakthrough.
17:12Shoma Sharkar was struggling right from the start against this tall fast bowler.
17:18This is brilliant.
17:19Good catch.
17:20At the second slip.
17:22This time much closer to the left hander.
17:24Forced him to play that shot.
17:27Bangladesh lost their first.
17:28Shoma Sharkar departs after scoring 9.
17:31They are 47 for 1.
17:35And save the game in fact.
17:36Oh shot.
17:37That's pure timing by Tanzeed Hassan Thameem.
17:41It's a Pulwak Super 4.
17:43And brings up the 50 as well for Bangladesh.
17:48In the air.
17:49In the air.
17:50In the air.
17:50And that goes all the way.
17:53Super Cola.
17:55Super 6.
17:57Dragged down by Niyamuri.
17:58Don't think he was trying to attempt to bowl the bouncer.
18:02And Tanzeed Hassan Thameem.
18:06Khali's 6 distance goes 74 meters for a drag down.
18:11And Tanzeed Hassan Thameem.
18:12Loves the short ball.
18:14On the short side.
18:16Third man in place.
18:18And.
18:19Loses it.
18:20With the side straight.
18:21Looking at the lights.
18:25And this time straight to call point.
18:27That's the year.
18:28Chase man Ryan Bull.
18:30And Niyamuri was very unfortunate not to have the wicket in the previous delivery.
18:34Gets his revenge.
18:35In dismissing Tanzeed Hassan Thameem.
18:38Because of the opportunity the previous ball is rolled his wrists.
18:41He's tried to keep it down.
18:43Unfortunately.
18:44He's picked out.
18:46Ryan Bull.
18:47One of the safest pair of hands in the Zimbabwe infielding side.
18:52And an entertaining innings.
18:54From Tanzeed.
18:55Has to come to an end.
18:56He's gone for 46.
19:00Close.
19:01Close.
19:02Should be given.
19:03And if he's given.
