Earlier in the day, it was a strong batting performance from Zimbabwe. Powered by Sean Williams' century and his partnerships with Taylor, Raza and Moor, they managed to post a challenging total on the board. However, their bowlers failed to turn up and they suffered yet another massive loss.
The pair of Kayes and Sarkar went after the bowlers right from the outset and both notched up their centuries. Sarkar, in particular, was in blazing form, amassing 6 maximums in his knock of 117 as he took the Zimbabwean bowlers to the cleaners. Kayes was initially the aggressor but once Sarkar got going, the former was happy to play second fiddle. The duo, however, could not stay there till the end as one perished shortly after getting to his ton and the other got dismissed with just 13 needed for a win. However, Rahim and Mithun ensured they did not lose any more wickets and finished the game off with ease.
