Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe T20 World Cup, Highlights: BAN beat ZIM by 3 runs after last over drama

October 30, 2022

5.5 Mustafizur is ruling the Gabba straight away! The commentators were praising Sikandar Raza, but he has been dismissed without troubling the scorers. He is distraught. A length ball at the body and Raza looked to pull square and in the air, but gets a top edge to mid-wicket. Sikandar Raza c Afif Hossain b Mustafizur Rahman 0 (3)

5.2 Zimbabwe have lost their third wicket and the Fizz has broken into Zimbabwe’s batting order straight away. Shumba tried to loft it over mid-off but doesn’t get the elevation. It was dipping towards Shakib’s left, but he dives and stretches his hands to take an excellent catch! Bangladesh pushing Zimbabwe on the backfoot. Milton Shumba c Shakib Al Hasan b Mustafizur Rahman 8 (15)

4.6 Back-to-back boundaries for Williams and Zimbabwe gain some powerplay impetus. This time takes the aerial route over the mid-on fielder. The ball flies quite a distance and then crawls to the boundary cushion.
