Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe Highlights And Cricket Score 1st Match - T20I Commentary
201 is the target on a wicket which is gripping just a little. Not going to be easy for the visitors to chase this down, they will need to bat out of their skin if they are to do so. Bangladesh on the other hand, will back themselves to defend this. The chase in a while, stay tuned.
Not a lot you can write about a bowling attack which has conceded 200 runs. Right from the word go, the bowlers took a pounding. The pacers were taken to the cleaners. The spinners though did bowl with some control, there was some assistance for them but poor show from the pace bowlers meant the visitors are going to be chasing a huge target.
An excellent performance from the hosts! Their openers set the platform with a powerful 92-run stand. Tamim missed out on a half ton but Das did get to his. The two however, departed in quick succession and Zimbabwe did have a sniff to crawl back into the game then but Rahim and Sarkar had different ideas. The two counter-attacked and added 40 in no time. Rahim departed but Sarkar continued hitting the bowlers to all parts of the ground. He batted with a strike rate of close 200 and ensured the hosts reach the 200-run mark.

Flighted delivery on middle, Das looks to flick but gets hit on the pads. The bowler appeals for lbw and the umpire raises his finger. Liton Das thinks for a while and then starts walking but is stopped by his partner who asks him to take the review. Replays roll in and first up it is the Ultra Edge which shows that there is no inside edge. Next up is the Ball Tracker which shows that impact is in line and it is hitting the middle stump. BANGLADESH ALSO LOSE THEIR ONLY REVIEW! A good innings from Das comes to an end. Zimbabwe have got rid of both the openers. This is a good passage of play for them.

The ball goes high up in the air and the man at extra cover, skipper Sean Williams settles himself under it and takes the catch. Tamim is not going anywhere as he has been asked to wait as the umpires are checking for a front foot No Ball. The replays roll in and it looks like Wesley has overstepped here but the third umpire is not convinced from the initial replays and asks for more angles.

Wesley Madhevere to Liton Das. NOT OUT! Waste of a review there by Zimbabwe. IT IS INDEED PITCHING OUTSIDE LEG! Madhevere took that in desperation. It was never going to be out as even the naked eye could tell that it is pitched way outside leg. It is bowled flatter and around leg, Das rocks onto the back foot to pull it but he gets beaten and is hit on the front pad. There is an appeal but the umpire is unmoved. Wesley convinces his skipper to take the review and the replays roll in. First the front foot is checked and Wesley is fine on that. Next comes the Ultra Edge which says that no bat involved now its the turn of Ball Trackert to tell where it is pitching and it says that it is pitched outside leg. Zimbabwe lose their only review.

It is bowled on a length and on middle and leg, Das looks to flick it to the leg side but gets beaten and is rapped on the pads. There is a huge roar from the bowler there and he convinces his skipper in going upstairs. The replays roll in and this time Mpofu is fine on the front foot. Ultra Edge then confirms that there is no bat involved when the ball passes the bat. No comes the Ball Tracker and what we see is it is pitching in line, the impact is in line but the ball on hitting the stumps is umpire's call. Das survives there and the batsmen get a leg bye too.
An appeal for lbw! Zimbabwe have taken the review. Das is the man in question. Seems a close one.
Chris Mpofu to Tamim Iqbal. Full and on off, Tamim drives to covers where Sikandar Raza misfields it to allow a single. OHH! Replays later on show that Mpofu had overstepped but the umpire did not spot that. Lucky escape for the bowler.

TOSS - It is time for the spin of the coin. Zimbabwe won the toss and elected to field.
Hello and welcome to the 1st T20I between Bangladesh and Zimbabwe in Mirpur. Bangladesh won the ODI series 3-0 and they gave a heartwarming send off to their most successful skipper Mashrafe Mortaza. The hosts would look to continue their good run in the shortest format of the game. On the other hand, Zimbabwe would want to end their losing streak. Zimbabwe would want a better performance from their team and would look to arrest their losing streak. Will Bangladesh continue their good form under a new leader or will Zimbabwe finally get a win under their belt on this tour? Stay tuned for toss and team updates in a short while.
So that is it from this game! It is the hosts who have taken a 1-0 lead. However, there is one more game to go and it is a crucial one as it is a must-win for the visitors. Also, it will be their last chance to get a win on this tour? Can they do so? We will find out on the 11th of March at 1800 local (1200 GMT). Till then, take care and goodbye!
Soumya Sarkar is named as the Man of the Match. He says that he started the innings a little nervously but it went well. Mentions the start the openers got made things easier and he could play with freedom. Ends by saying, the catch he dropped did annoy him but he is slowly getting to his best.
Bangladesh skipper, Mahmudullah, says this win was pleasing. States the openers gave them the perfect start and Sarkar did well after that. Further adds the wicket seemed a little tacky up front but their players did really well. Mentions they can't be complacent and need to keep playing good cricket. Ends by saying Aminul Islam was very impressive and he hopes he can continue the good work.
Zimbabwe skipper, Sean Williams, says winning the toss was a good thing, batting second was a good thing but they did not bowl and bat well. Mentions the margin of defeat could have been a lot more had Mumba not hit a few runs. States chasing 200 creates a lot of pressure and they should have calculated their chase better and batted with more application. Ends by saying they will continue to fight and he hopes they can do better in the next game.
Another clinical performance by the hosts! Once again the victory was set up by their batters as they posted a huge total courtesy Sarkar, Das and Tamim. In reply, Zimbabwe kept losing wickets and were five down in the first 10 overs. Chasing such a big target you need to keep wickets in hand and also go at a good rate but the visitors failed to do both and in the end, they were beaten by a huge margin. Overall, a complete effort from the home side. Stay tuned for the presentation...
