Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe, T20 World Cup 2022: Bangladesh beat Zimbabwe in dramatic last-ball finish

Taskin Ahmed to Wesley Madhevere, OUT! TAKEN! Wesley Madhevere goes and Taskin Ahmed strikes early. He drags his length back a bit and keeps it outside off. Wesley Madhevere looks to cut it hard but gets a top edge and it flies to third man where Mustafizur Rahman reverse-cups it. Good start by Bangladesh.

It is time for Zimbabwe's reply! Their openers, Wellington Masakadza and Craig Ervine walk out to the middle. Taskin Ahmed to begin.

Taskin Ahmed to Wesley Madhevere, FOUR! Good shot and Zimbabwe are underway in the chase! Length ball, way outside off. Wesley Madhevere cuts it hard and through covers for a boundary.

Taskin Ahmed to Wesley Madhevere, Ahmed starts with a length ball, outside off and it swings away. Wesley Madhevere leaves it alone.

... RUN CHASE ...

Now the target is not a big one but a tricky one. Zimbabwe do have a long batting line-up but Bangladesh have a good bowling attack. Early wickets is what Bangladesh will be looking for and a good start is what Zimbabwe will be hoping for. Stay tuned for the chase in a bit.

For Zimbabwe, it was a combined effort with the ball! Blessing Muzarabani was brilliant at the start but really not sure why he was not given the ball later on. Richard Ngarava was really good throughout. Evans though had a day to forget as he was poor in the field and with the ball. Raza too was on the expensive side but overall, they did a good job.

The start was not all that great for Bangladesh as they lost two in the Powerplay and the run rate was not all that great. Shakib and Najmul Hossain Shanto then steadied the ship with a handy stand. However, just as Shakib looked to accelerate, he fell. Shanto continued and got to a fine half ton but fell when his side needed him to stay out there. Afif Hossain played a really good cameo but the move to send Mosaddek Hossain was not the right one. He struggled to time the ball and played at a strike rate of below 100. Maybe had they sent someone else, they could have ended up with 160.

Not really sure which team will be happier of the two at the moment! Have to believe, Zimbabwe will head into the break with their noses ahead. They were really good with the ball but will be quite disappointed with their fielding effort. Had they taken the catches and not misfielded, Bangladesh could have well ended below the 145-run mark. Still though, we feel Bangladesh are slightly under par here.

Richard Ngarava to Afif Hossain, OUT! TWO REDS! That is as plumb as it gets! THE SCORE REMAINS 150! That is a top last over from Richard Ngarava! Afif Hossain moves across as he targets the leg side. Richard Ngarava bowls a full toss on middle, Afif Hossain misses as he looks to play it fine on the leg side. It hits the pad. An appeal and the finger is raised. Afif Hossain reviews but in vain.

Richard Ngarava to Yasir Ali, Just another one! Fuller and on middle, this is hit down to long on for only one. 150 up.

Richard Ngarava to Afif Hossain, OUT! Nurul Hasan is short! Don't think there was two in there. That though was an action-packed ball. A full one on off, this is hit straight to mid off but the fielder, Sean Williams spills it. They take one. Nurul Hasan is off for the second but Afif Hossain is not interested. Nurul Hasan turns back and looks to get back. Sean Williams fires it to the keeper who whips the bails off. It is taken upstairs and replays show that Hasan is short.

Richard Ngarava to Nurul Hasan, Nurul Hasan gets into position quickly to play the paddle scoop. Richard Ngarava goes for the yorker again. Hasan ends up hitting it onto his helmet. It rolls on the leg side for one.

Is that a bump ball? they have gone upstairs to check. Soft signal is out!

Richard Ngarava to Mosaddek Hossain, OUT! TAKEN! Mosaddek Hossain's struggle ends. His promotion up the order was not a great one. Richard Ngarava continues to do well at the death. This is a yorker outside off. Mosaddek Hossain looks to jam it over short third man but hits it straight to the fielder there. It is taken by Chatara. Zimbabwe celebrate. The umpires take it upstairs and replays show that is out.

Richard Ngarava to Afif Hossain, Three more! That is another clever shot! Shorter and on middle, Afif Hossain lets it come to him and then guides it over the keeper. He plays the upper cut. Third man runs to his right and saves a run for his side.

Richard Ngarava to Afif Hossain, WIDE! Not the ideal start! This is short and down the leg side. Afif looks to pull but misses.

Sikandar Raza to Afif Hossain, A single to end but a good penultimate over for Bangladesh! On off, fuller, this is hit towards cover for one.

Sikandar Raza to Afif Hossain, SIX! Over the fence! That is a massive hit, the square boundaries are quite long here and Afif Hossain clears it. This six will really hurt Evans over whom the ball sails. On middle, the slog sweep comes out. It is nailed towards deep mid-wicket. Evans runs back but it goes over him. Biggie.

Sikandar Raza to Mosaddek Hossain, Just another one! On middle, this is worked through mid-wicket for only one.
