Commentary

7:04 PM IST Over and out - Zimbabwe come out on top once more against Bangladesh in ODIs, and this is their third win out of four meetings this year alone. They will be really pleased with the kind of performance they put on tonight. They were brilliant with the bat and ball, alright, but their energy in the field, putting in the hard yards and saving crucial runs here and there was just as important. For Bangladesh, once again, their batting vulnerabilities came back to haunt them. A recurring problem that seems to have no end, especially in this format. Their batting was outclassed by disciplined bowling and with just one match left to play in this tri-series, their next assignment against Afghanistan will be a must-win. Righto, that's that from the series opener. Up next, a high-flying Zimbabwe side will take on Afghanistan after a day's break. That game will be played on Monday, 19th October, with the first ball set to be bowled at 11.30 am GMT. Until then, cheers!
7:10 PM IST The victorious captain of Zimbabwe - Sikandar Raza, when asked for his thoughts on the win, says the partnership after the shaky start held the innings together. Zimbabwe studied the data from their last ten games, so he considers 271 a good effort, with 265 being par and 271 giving them something to bowl at. He credits Wellington Masakadza and Newman Nyamhuri for the late momentum, calling cricket a momentum-driven game. On the fightback with the ball, he says Blessing Muzarabani was unlucky and bowled well. Zimbabwe need two bowlers firing together, he stresses, because in the past one has performed while the other struggled, and that is something they must fix. He is pleased with the character on show. Highlights that Bangladesh were ahead of the game after 14 or 15 overs, only two down and close to 100, so the way his side hit back was pleasing. Speaking on fielding, Raza says the group has put in a lot of work and has lost plenty of games because of it. Stresses that they want to be known as a good fielding side, and he calls it non-negotiable. Adds that it comes down to attitude, enjoyment and fight, and if you chase every ball, the catches that weren’t sticking eventually do. On personal milestones, Raza says he doesn’t care for them. He says his 100 international wickets is something his teammates, family and fans will be prouder of than him. Mentions what hurts him is being part of a team that doesn’t win, not the lack of a win as captain. He hopes this is the start of many, and he says the aim is the same whoever leads, since this win counts as much as those under other captains. On recovery, he admits it is tough. Says this is Zimbabwe’s first tour to the subcontinent in these weather conditions, and the heat has hit them hard. Notes that it will come down to mental toughness and discipline, because they are back in action in under 36 hours.
7:12 PM IST The captain of Bangladesh - Towhid Hridoy, on the first innings and the strong start with the ball, says that they had a good start. Notes that the pitch was a decent one to bat on, but the batting unit made a couple of mistakes. Says they had a very good start, but the middle overs did not go well. When asked whether he was satisfied with the fightback that held Zimbabwe to a chaseable total, Hridoy says Bangladesh could have chased it. The bowlers did their job, he notes, and the batters should take responsibility, since totals like this should be within their reach. On the DRS struggles in the Test and again in the ODI, he says the team will talk about it. Sometimes, he adds, they simply need to trust the bowler. Finally, on becoming his country’s ODI captain for the first time despite the defeat, Hridoy calls it a proud moment for him and his family, and hopes it continues.
7:06 PM IST PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Craig Ervine takes home the award for his fluent 93 off 106 balls, graced with nine fours. On what pleased him the most tonight, Ervine says they got a win to their name and at the end of the day, that is what matters most. Adds that after all the work done with the bat, seeing it turn into a victory feels very satisfying. On missing out on a hundred, he admits it is disappointing. Says that batting that long with six or seven overs still to go, you want to reach three figures and then cash in at the back end. At this stage, he says, you take each game as it comes. Adds that it is nice to be in a bit of form after scoring runs in the Australian series, and he hopes it continues. Batting with Brendan Taylor, he says, is always special. Notes that Taylor has a calm air about him, and he likes how composed his start was. Details that he didn’t get flustered by the strike rate, then built up and brought the momentum back to Zimbabwe. On the pitch, Ervine says it swung around early with a bit of nip off the seam. Once that wore off, he highlights that the two (him and Taylor) decided it was time to up the ante. The partnership was really good, he adds, especially once the spin came on, and they scored quite freely. Adds that they got bogged down a couple of times, but experience and staying calm under pressure helped them build a big stand, which made the difference.
6:44 PM IST ... The post-match Presentation ...
6:47 PM IST Here's the man of the moment - Brad Evans speaks to the broadcasters. On dismissing Tanzid, Brad Evans says it was nice to finish that way. Says that Tanzid has had the better of Zimbabwe in the last few white-ball series and is a tough player to bowl at. But shares that the dressing room message was simple - to give your best. He adds that it feels nice to come back and take wickets for the team. He further says that cricket is all about partnership and they have got each other's back and ends by saying that they will carry on with the same momentum.
6:42 PM IST Veterans to the rescue - Taskin’s blazing start left Zimbabwe wobbling at 24/3, but Brendan Taylor and Craig Ervine, two of the most seasoned heads in the side, refused to let the innings unravel. They saw off the early storm and found their rhythm as the overs went by. Both reached fifty, and by the time they were done they had added 150 and carried Zimbabwe to 174/3. Saif Hassan then sent back Taylor, and the innings lost its direction. Raza and Madhevere fell in a hurry, and with the set batters gone, Zimbabwe tumbled to 234/8. However, with some late contributions through Nyamhuri and Masakadza, the Chevrons did manage to breach the 270-run figure. It was a classic ODI innings, with both sides having to fight back after being pushed onto the back foot.
6:42 PM IST Hunted in a pack - Zimbabwe’s bowling was complete in every sense, with each bowler picking up at least one wicket. Muzarabani set the tone by asking tough questions with steep bounce, while Newman Nyamhuri got the ball to move off the surface. Nyamhuri did leak runs but was electric in the field, doing the hard yards. The spin pair of Wellington Masakadza and Sikandar Raza then piled on the misery on the opponents, landing further blows in the gut of a wobbling batting order. But the man who stood out was Brad Evans. Expensive in his first spell, he came back to finish with excellent figures of 4/45 in 6.4 overs.
6:38 PM IST A good takeoff, then a nosedive - Bangladesh began briskly even after losing Sarkar early, with Tanzid Hasan setting the tone through fluent strokeplay. He fell off the final ball of the Powerplay, and Evans removed Shanto soon after, leaving Bangladesh at 66/3 after such a lively beginning. The pitch offered a fair bit of movement and bounce, and Muzarabani and Nyamhuri made the most of it. Hridoy and Saif then began to rebuild, but Raza broke the budding partnership and left Bangladesh at 97/4, with yet another repair job on their hands. However, they just couldn't recover from that dent and kept losing wickets one after the other. Rishad did flex his muscles to make up for an expensive night with the ball, but it was all in a losing cause.
6:36 PM IST Chevrons fly high - A pure demolition job from Zimbabwe, who hand Bangladesh a crushing defeat. They were one or two steps ahead of their opponents in each and every department tonight. Interestingly, it is also Zimbabwe’s first ODI win under Raza’s captaincy, and he looks like a man who has just shaken a monkey off his back. Joy fills the Zimbabwe camp, while the frustration in Bangladesh's camp is clear, and they have plenty to ponder.

Excellent athleticism from Ryan Burl! Slightly back of a length, outside off, Taskin chips it over cover-point as the ball speeds to the fence. Burl and Masakadza run after it, and it is Burl, the sub fielder, who gets to the ball first. He puts in a slide to flick the ball and relay it in. The replay shows that his knees crashed on the ropes but by then, he managed to haul the ball in. Two runs taken.

Shoriful never gets into a good position, yet he goes for the pull anyway. The ball climbs higher than it travels, and Bennett, stationed as the sweeper in the deep square leg region, charges in, dives forward and plucks it just inches off the turf. Bangladesh are badly falling apart. They are 129/8.

Brad Evans to Nurul Hasan, no run

OUT! CAUGHT IN THE DEEP! Nurul holes out and there goes the last hope for Bangladesh. Brad bowls a length-delivery and angles it onto the hips of the batter. Nurul hops off a bit and plays a half-hearted pull shot without completing the follow-through. As a result, there is no power nor timing on the shot and it sails towards deep backward square leg. It dips on the sub fielder, Tadiwanashe Marumani, but he does extremely well to dive forward while stretching his hands in front to complete the catch. Bangladesh are 129/7, needing 143 runs with just 3 wickets in hand now.

5:58 PM IST After 27 overs, Bangladesh are 129/6, and Zimbabwe were 135/3. Brad Evans (4-0-31-1) is back into the attack, replacing Wellington Masakadza.

Mosaddek Hossain is pinned in the crease as he looks to whip it across but plays all over it and is struck stone-dead in front. A huge appeal goes up and the umpire obliges. However, Mosaddek has opted for a review. UltraEdge shows a flat line and Ball Tracking projects the ball to be kissing the leg stump. Three reds and Mosaddek is gone. Bangladesh are 112/5, in deep trouble now.

5:36 PM IST Trapped in front and given LBW, but Saif has opted for a review. It's a fair delivery to begin with.

A bit short, on leg, Towhid Hridoy looks to tuck it but misses and wears it high on his pads as the ball spins back in sharply. A loud appeal for LBW, but turned down. Raza consults with the keeper before sending it upstairs to have a check. Nothing on UltraEdge and Ball Tracking shows three reds with the ball crashing into the leg stump. The on-field decision is overturned to OUT. And the Chevrons are charged up to bits.

Everyone around the bat goes up at once, the bowler, the slips and the keeper, all pleading for the LBW. While they appeal, the ring fielder’s throw from backward point misses its mark and trickles away to the rope to the leg side. Zimbabwe send it upstairs for a review, but UltraEdge shows a spike as the ball passes the inside part of the bat. Not out, and Zimbabwe lose a review, and are left with just one.

That certainly cramps Tanzid for space but he still goes for the cut shot but it is too close to play that kind of a shot. Ends up chipping it towards backward point. Ryan Burl, the sub fielder, dives to scoop the dipping ball inches before the ground. The Chevrons flock together to celebrate a massive wicket as Tanzid was looking too dangerous and unstoppable.

Hands on hips for Blessing. Too short and too wide, and Tanzid needs no invitation. He throws the bat at it and sends it skimming flat and fast towards deep third. Blessing Muzarabani, stationed out there, picks it up late as the floodlights swallow the ball, and by the time he reacts it is already past him and into the boundary.
