Slip-up by Bangladesh

Bangladesh made a good start to their chase. Litton Das, who has struggled for runs in white-ball cricket this year, hit Blessing Muzarabani for a six over the wicketkeeper in the second over. His opening partner Tanzid Hasan hit Ainsley Ndlovu for his first six in the fourth over. But left-arm spinner Ndlovu made the first breakthrough for Zimbabwe in the sixth over when Tanzid mistimed a slightly quicker delivery to midwicket.

Just when it looked like Bangladesh had the chase in hand, things started to go wrong. Litton was dropped by Luke Jongwe off Raza on 21. Jongwe then made amends with two wickets in his next over, trapping skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto at long-on and Litton at backward point for 23.
