Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe Highlights And Cricket Score 1st Match - ODI Commentary
Now then, the target is a big one but the wicket is good to bat on. Zimbabwe will need to bat sensibly if they want to chase this down. Bangladesh would back themselves to defend it. Join us for the chase in a bit.
The Zimbabwe bowlers weren't that great! They did manage to take wickets at the right time but were offering too many bad balls too. Every bowler went for over 5 per over. However, all of them except for Raza managed to pick a wicket. Still though, they will not be happy with their performance.
End of a brilliant batting performance from the hosts! It was led by Liton Das who scored a brilliant ton. He had partnerships with Tamim, Rahim, Shanto and Mahmudullah. However, all the other 4 only managed to get off to starts but failed to make use of it. Mithun however, made use of the start he got and scored a useful half ton that too in quick time. However, Saifuddin's innings could be the match-winning one. His cameo has taken Bangladesh to a total which should be defended by them.
