Towhid Hridoy kept his cool and hit pressure-packed boundaries to steer Bangladesh to a six-wicket victory in the second T20I against Zimbabwe in Chattogram. The home side chased down the target of 139 with six wickets in hand and nine balls to spare to take a 2-0 lead in the five-match series.
Hridoy hit two sixes and three fours in his unbeaten 25-ball 37, adding 31 runs for the fourth wicket with Jaker Ali and another 49 for the fifth wicket with Mahmudullah, who struck a massive six in his unbeaten 26 off 16 balls.
The victory was once again underpinned by Bangladesh's bowlers, who restricted Zimbabwe for the second match in a row. Taskin Ahmed was the best of the attack, taking 2 for 18 from four overs, while leg-spinner Rishad Hossain struck twice in one over to rattle Zimbabwe's middle order.
Zimbabwe owes most of their runs to new openers Johnathan Campbell and Brian Bennett, who added 73 runs off 43 balls for the sixth wicket to rescue them from 42 for five. Campbell's 45 is now Zimbabwe's highest T20I debut score, while Bennett made an unbeaten 44.
