BULAWAYO: Bangladesh pulled off a thrilling four-wicket victory over Zimbabwe in the third and final T20I at the Queens Sports Club, clinching the three-match series 2-1.&nbsp;

Chasing a target of 144 on a sluggish track, the visitors overcame a late-innings stumble to cross the finish line with just two balls to spare, wrapping up a challenging multi-format tour with a hard-fought piece of silverware. Earlier in the day, Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/zim-vs-ban-3rd-t20-live-toss-zimbabwe-opts-to-bat-in-series-decider/7100-5-0">won the toss</a> and opted to bat first on a pitch expected to slow down as the game progressed.&nbsp;

The hosts suffered an early setback when opener Tadiwanashe Marumani was dismissed in <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/zim-vs-ban-3rd-t20-powerplay-live-zimbabwe-reaches-411/7102-5-0">powerplay</a>. However, a resilient second-wicket partnership between Brian Bennett and Dion Myers injected momentum into the Chevrons&#39; innings. Bennett took the attack to the Bangladeshi pacers, smashing eight boundaries in a quick-fire 47 off 38 deliveries. At the other end, Myers anchored the innings beautifully, crafting a superb 73 runs from 53 balls, accented by seven fours and two towering sixes.&nbsp;

Despite their stable platform, Zimbabwe failed to launch a late-overs assault. Bangladesh&rsquo;s bowling unit, spearheaded by Taskin Ahmed&rsquo;s incredibly restrictive spell of 0 for 16 across his four overs, completely choked the scoring rate. Mohammad Saifuddin picked 2 for 35 as <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/zim-vs-ban-3rd-t20-powerplay-live-zimbabwe-reaches-411/7102-5-0">Zimbabwe</a> collapsed from a promising position to finish on 143 for 7.&nbsp;

Bangladesh&rsquo;s chase began with a slow start in <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/ban-scored-371-in-3rd-t20-powerplay-in-tense-chase/7104-5-0">powerplay</a>. However, opening batsman Tanzid Hasan took center stage, neutralising Zimbabwe&rsquo;s new-ball threat with a mix of elegant drives and aggressive pulls. Tanzid anchored the pursuit with a commanding 66 off 58 balls. Parvez Hossain Emon and Towhid Hridoy chipped in with matching contributions of 24 runs each.&nbsp;

Just as the visitors looked to cruise toward an easy victory, Zimbabwe&rsquo;s spin maestro Sikandar Raza pulled his side back into contention. Raza claimed two crucial wickets for 38 runs, while medium-pacer Brad Evans bowled a brilliant death-overs spell, registering figures of 2 for 26 to trigger a sudden panic in the Bangladeshi camp.

With the match hanging on a knife-edge in the final over, it was Mahedi Hasan who showed nerves of steel. He sliced a boundary on the fourth delivery of the 20th over to secure the victory.&nbsp;

Tanzid Hasan&#39;s sensational match-winning half-century earned him the player of the match honors. He also got player of the match award.&nbsp;

Tanzid Hasan strikes a brilliant match-winning sixty-six as Bangladesh overcome a late scare to defeat Zimbabwe by four wickets in Bulawayo.

Ban Defeated Zim in 3rd T20 to Clinch T20I Series

Bulawayo: In a high-stakes series decider at the Queen&rsquo;s Sports Club in Bulawayo, Bangladesh recovered from an early blow to post 37 for 1 during the mandatory powerplay.&nbsp;

Tasked with overhauling Zimbabwe&rsquo;s hard-fought <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/zimbabwe-scored-143-in-3rd-t20-after-dion-myers-masterclass/7103-5-0">first-innings total</a> of 143 for 7, the Bangladeshi opening pair walked out with an intent to counter the early movement but found themselves heavily tested by a disciplined Zimbabwean pace assault.&nbsp;

The innings commenced with opening batter Saif Hassan executing a cautious approach against the probing lines of Zimbabwe&#39;s premier quicks. However, his stay at the crease was short-lived as Richard Ngarava struck an early blow for the hosts. In the first over of the chase, Ngarava found just enough away-movement to find the edge of Hassan&#39;s bat, sending him back to the pavilion for 4 runs off 5 deliveries, featuring a single boundary. Ngarava&#39;s initial burst kept the visitors pinned down, concluding his opening spell during the powerplay with an impressive, restrictive economy.

Following the early breakthrough, Parvez Hossain Emon joined Tanzid Hasan at the crease, and the duo proactively reconstructed the innings. Preferring to use the depth of the crease, Emon provided the much-needed impetus to the powerplay by shifting the pressure back onto the bowling side. He showcased absolute authority against the tournament&#39;s standout bowler, Blessing Muzarabani, and first-change bowler Brad Evans, pulling and driving over the fielders to dispatch two sixes.&nbsp;

Emon cruised to an aggressive 17 runs off 16 balls by the close of the sixth over, effectively anchoring the recovery alongside Tanzid. At the opposite end, Tanzid Hasan adopted a more measured approach, anchoring the chase with tactical accumulation. Tanzid, critical to Bangladesh&#39;s top-order stabilization throughout the tour, matching Emon&#39;s aggression with steady strike rotation, navigated the powerplay to remain unbeaten on 14 runs from 15 balls, which included an array of hard-run doubles.&nbsp;

Despite Muzarabani conceding a mere 12 runs from his three highly economical overs, the explosive counter-attack from Emon against the supporting bowlers ensured Bangladesh maintained a healthy required run rate.&nbsp;

Parvez Hossain Emon hits two massive sixes to rescue the tigers after an early blow as Ban scored 37 1 in 3rd T20 powerplay.

Ban Scored 37/1 in 3rd T20 Powerplay in Tense Chase

BULAWAYO: A brilliant half-century from Dion Myers rescued Zimbabwe from a middle-overs choke, steering the hosts to a competitive 143 for 7 against Bangladesh in the 3rd T20I at the Queens Sports Club.

<a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/zim-vs-ban-3rd-t20-live-toss-zimbabwe-opts-to-bat-in-series-decider/7100-5-0">Opting to bat first</a> on a dry Bulawayo surface, Zimbabwe found early momentum through opening batsman Brian Bennett, who aggressively took on the new ball to smash 47 off 38 deliveries, laced with 8 boundaries. Alongside Tadiwanashe Marumani, Bennett guided the hosts to a solid foundation in <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/zim-vs-ban-3rd-t20-powerplay-live-zimbabwe-reaches-411/7102-5-0">powerplay</a>, pushing the score to a comfortable 69 for 1 at the halfway mark.

However, the introduction of Bangladesh&#39;s spin-and-seam variations broke the game wide open. The Tigers staged a ruthless institutional collapse in the middle periods, drying up the boundaries and triggering a cluster of quick wickets. Skipper Sikandar Raza was kept quiet, managing just 3 runs off 6 balls before falling to the pressure, while Ryan Burl (7) and Milton Shumba (4) failed to break free under a disciplined, squeeze-and-strike bowling display.

Amid the falling wickets, Dion Myers played an absolute masterclass. Stepping up as the anchor, Myers single-handedly dragged the home side out of trouble, registering a sparkling 73 runs off 53 balls. His crucial knock was decorated with 7 fours and two sixes, providing the late-overs oxygen the Chevrons desperately needed.

Bangladesh&rsquo;s bowling unit fought back superbly to restrict Zimbabwe under the 150-run mark. Seamer Mohammad Saifuddin was the primary disruptor, changing the landscape of the death overs to finish with excellent figures of 2 for 35 in his 4-over quota.&nbsp;

The spinners provided critical structural support to strangulate the hosts. Rishad Hossain kept his composure to pick up 1 for 28, while Mahedi Hasan and debutant Abdul Gaffar Saqlain mirrored each other with highly economical spells, both returning identical figures of 1 for 31 from their 4 overs. Fast bowler Taskin Ahmed went wicketless but delivered immense tactical pressure, leaking just 16 runs across his highly restrictive 4-over spell.

With the series deadlocked at 1-1, the equation is set: Bangladesh requires a highly manageable but potentially tricky 144 runs to win at a required run rate of 7.20 to salvage their multi-format tour.

<a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/zim-vs-ban-3rd-t20-live-toss-zimbabwe-opts-to-bat-in-series-decider/7100-5-0">Choosing to bat</a> first after winning the toss, Zimbabwe&#39;s skipper Sikandar Raza looked to break the series trend. However, Bangladesh&rsquo;s bowling attack responded with an incredibly tight opening display under bright Bulawayo skies.

<h2>Mahedi Strikes Early</h2>

The visitors did not have to wait long for their first breakthrough. Opening bowler Mahedi Hasan struck in his very first over, dismissing the dangerous Tadiwanashe Marumani for just 4 runs off 5 balls. Marumani fell while attempting to clear the infield, leaving the hosts reeling early at 6 for 1.

<h2>Bennett and Myers Steer the Recovery</h2>

Following the early setback, young batting prospect Brian Bennett teamed up with Dion Myers to navigate through the field restrictions. Bennett showed excellent intent, anchoring the recovery by cracking a series of crisp boundaries against both pace and spin.Veteran paceman Taskin Ahmed bowled an exceptionally disciplined line to suppress the scoring rate, conceding a mere 12 runs from his 3 overs in the powerplay.

Despite Taskin&#39;s frugality, Bennett&#39;s counter-attacking boundaries lifted Zimbabwe to 41/1 by the conclusion of the 6th over, ensuring the hosts kept a stable platform for the middle overs. With the series deadlocked at 1-1, the battle at Bulawayo remains completely in the balance.

Zim vs Ban 3rd T20 Powerplay Live: Zimbabwe Reaches 41/1

BULAWAYO: Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza won the toss and opted to set a target in the final T20 International against Bangladesh, as both teams look to clinch a fiercely contested three-match series.&nbsp;

With the series deadlocked at 1-1, the decision to bat first marks a definitive tactical shift for the hosts on an impressive, hard Bulawayo track. During the first two encounters, an intriguing trend emerged where the side losing the toss ultimately went on to secure victory by batting first.&nbsp;

Zimbabwe claimed a <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/zim-defeated-ban-by-32-runs/7037-5-0">32-run win</a> in the series opener, while Bangladesh bounced back cleanly with a <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/bangladesh-defeated-zimbabwe-by-34-runs-2nd-t20i/7079-5-0">34-run victory</a> in the second game. Raza highlighted that his side wants to put a commanding total on the board, pressuring the visitors in a high-stakes finale.

Bangladesh skipper Towhid Hridoy noted at the toss that his side was comfortable chasing, confident that their bowling attack could restrict the home team early. However, the Tigers faces a significant structural blow as express pace bowler Nahid Rana was ruled out of the crucial encounter due to a lingering side strain.

The match carries immense stakes for both teams. Zimbabwe is aiming to secure a complete multi-format sweep of the tour, having already thoroughly outplayed Bangladesh to secure a victory in the one-off Test match and a 2-1 triumph in the preceding One-Day International series.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, a victory today remains the final chance for the visiting Bangladeshi side to salvage silverware and finish an otherwise difficult tour on a positive note. Excellent overhead conditions mean there is zero threat of rain, promising an uninterrupted, explosive series conclusion.

Zim vs Ban 3rd T20 Live Toss: Zimbabwe Opts to Bat in Series Decider

BULAWAYO: A masterclass in leg-spin bowling from Rishad Hossain and an explosive opening partnership powered Bangladesh to a series-levelling 34-run victory over Zimbabwe in the 2nd T20I at the Queens Sports Club.

The Tigers bounced back in emphatic fashion following their defeat in the opening fixture, successfully defending a formidable <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/bangladesh-scored-186-in-2nd-t20-live/7075-5-0">total of 186</a> to set up a winner-takes-all series decider on Sunday.

Defending 186, Bangladesh&rsquo;s bowling unit execution was precise, bundled out the hosts for 152 in 19.4 overs. Leg-spinner Rishad Hossain was the chief destroyer for the visitors, ripping through Zimbabwe&#39;s middle order to register brilliant match-winning figures of 4 for 26. He received stellar support from off-spinner Mahedi Hasan, who choked the scoring rates and chipped in with crucial wickets to finish with 3 for 24.

Zimbabwe&#39;s chase never truly found its rhythm since <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/zim-faces-early-trouble-in-powerplay-vs-ban-2nd-t20-live/7076-5-0">powerplay</a>. Aside from Ryan Burl, who top-scored for the hosts with an aggressive 29, the Zimbabwean batting lineup struggled to forge meaningful partnerships against a disciplined and varied Bangladeshi bowling assault.

Earlier in the day, Zimbabwe won the toss and elected to field, a decision they quickly came to regret. Bangladesh&#39;s opening duo of Tanzid Hasan and Saif Hassan dismantled the home team&#39;s bowling attack from the outset. The pair stitched together a blazing 119-run opening partnership, completely dictating the tempo of the powerplay and setting a rock-solid foundation for a mammoth score.

Tanzid Hasan paced the innings beautifully, anchoring the side with a classy 58 off 44 deliveries. At the other end, Saif Hassan matched his partner&rsquo;s aggression, striking a crucial 55 off 45 balls. Zimbabwean right-arm pacer Brad Evans endured a difficult day at the office despite picking up two wickets, leaking a costly 65 runs in his designated four overs as the visitors targeted him relentlessly.&nbsp;

Bangladesh ultimately concluded their 20 overs at a commanding 186 for 5. The left-arm fast bowler, Richard Ngarava, put on a spectacular exhibition of death bowling and control amid the carnage, finishing with remarkable figures that restricted Bangladesh from crossing the 200-run threshold.

With the three-match series now locked at 1-1, the stage is set for a thrilling finale at the Queens Sports Club on July 19, where both teams will battle for the silverware.

Rishad Hossain bags four wickets as Bangladesh defeated Zimbabwe in 2nd T20 by thirty four runs to force a series decider in Bulawayo.

Bangladesh Defeated Zimbabwe in 2nd T20 to Level Series

Bulawayo: A relentless early bowling onslaught from Bangladesh left Zimbabwe&rsquo;s top order in tatters, effectively derailing their pursuit of a formidable 187-run target during the crucial powerplay of the 2nd T20I at the Queens Sports Club.

<a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/bangladesh-scored-186-in-2nd-t20-live/7075-5-0">Chasing 187</a> for victory, the hosts experienced a catastrophic start to their innings, losing three frontline batters within the initial six overs. The visitors, desperate to level the three-match series after dropping the opener, executed their defensive bowling strategies with ruthless accuracy on a surface providing early assistance.

The opening over set a frantic tempo. Spinner Mahedi Hasan struck gold with his final delivery, securing a soft dismissal as Tadiwanashe Marumani chipped a back-of-a-length ball straight to Towhid Hridoy at midwicket for just 4 runs. Youngster Brian Bennett counter-attacked briefly, striking a six and a four to extract 15 runs from that eventful opening over. However, the momentum shifted entirely back to Bangladesh as early wickets continued to tumble under immense scoreboard pressure.&nbsp;

Speedster Nahid Rana entered the attack and immediately compounded Zimbabwe&#39;s woes by clinical execution, removing the dangerous Bennett. The batting slide quickly worsened when Mahedi Hasan struck for a second time, cleaning up Dion Myers for a painstaking 4 runs off 7 balls. Myers found himself entirely outfoxed by the spinner&#39;s tight lines, leaving Zimbabwe in a deep hole at 21/3 inside the first three overs.

Faced with a complete top-order collapse, skipper Sikandar Raza joined forces with Milton Shumba in the middle. Recognizing the gravity of the situation, the duo exercised extreme caution to prevent total capitulation, focusing primarily on rotating the strike and steadying the ship. Raza broke the shackles occasionally, finding the boundary twice and clearing the ropes once to breathe some life into the home crowd.

By the time the mandatory six-over powerplay concluded, Zimbabwe had fought their way to a tense 56/3. While the scoring rate hovered around the required mark, the loss of three pivotal top-order wickets severely compromised the hosts&#39; chances of anchoring a successful run chase, handing Bangladesh an undeniable strategic advantage heading into the middle overs.

A ruthless Bangladesh bowling attack leaves the hosts reeling as Zimbabwe faces early trouble in powerplay during a tough 187-run chase.

Zimbabwe Faces Early Trouble in Powerplay Slumping to 56/3

BULAWAYO: Half-centuries from Tanzid Hasan and Saif Hassan, capped off by an explosive late-overs blitz, powered Bangladesh to a competitive 186 for 5 in Zim vs Ban 2nd T20I at the Queens Sports Club.&nbsp;

Desperate to level the three-match series after a <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/zim-defeated-ban-by-32-runs/7037-5-0">32-run defeat</a> in the opener, the visitors produced a significantly upgraded batting display after being asked to bat first. The bedrock of the Bangladeshi innings was an assertive 120-run opening stand between Tanzid and Saif.&nbsp;

Learning from their previous failures against the hosts&#39; bounce, both openers applied a blend of caution and aggression early on in <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/zim-vs-ban-2nd-t20-live-powerplay/7073-5-0">powerplay</a>. Tanzid Hasan was particularly severe on anything short, smashing 6 boundaries and 2 sixes in his 44-ball 58. On the other end, Saif Hassan anchored the partnership with precision, hitting 8 fours and a six to register 55 runs off 45 deliveries.&nbsp;

At 120 for no loss in the 15th over, Bangladesh looked primed for a mammoth total before Zimbabwe&rsquo;s experienced bowling unit struck back. Captain Sikandar Raza provided the much-needed breakthrough for the hosts, breaking the dangerous partnership by cleaning up Saif Hassan for 55. The wicket triggered a mini-collapse as Zimbabwe&#39;s premier fast bowler, Richard Ngarava, quickly removed the well-set Tanzid Hasan for 58 just four balls later.&nbsp;

Ngarava&#39;s exceptional variations into the pitch dried up the scoring options, forcing under-pressure skipper Towhid Hridoy and the middle-order to miscue their strokes. Ngarava finished as the standout bowler for Zimbabwe, showing remarkable discipline to finish with figures of 2 for 23 in his 4 overs.&nbsp;

While the Zimbabwean fielders backed up their bowlers with relentless energy, medium-pacer Brad Evans had a forgettable outing at the death. Despite snapping up two wickets late in the innings, Evans leaked a massive 65 runs from his 4 overs, primarily due to a brutal assault in the final over. The momentum shifted entirely back to the Tigers during the death overs, courtesy of a spectacular cameo from Mohammad Saifuddin.&nbsp;

Coming in lower down the order, Saifuddin completely dismantled the bowling, hammering an unbeaten 31 runs off just 10 balls at a blistering strike rate of 310. His late fireworks ensured Bangladesh plundered 46 runs from the final five overs, pushing their total well past the par score on a surface keeping relatively low.

With a target of 187 required to seal a historic bilateral T20I series victory on home soil, Zimbabwe&#39;s top-order faces a steep task against a reinforced Bangladeshi bowling attack.

Bangladesh Scored 186 in 2nd T20 Against Zimbabwe

BULAWAYO: Bangladesh&rsquo;s opening pair delivered a blazing counter-attack in the Powerplay of the second T20 International at the Queens Sports Club, racing to a commanding 54/0 in powerplay.&nbsp;

Facing a must-win situation to keep the three-match series alive, the visitors responded to the pressure with textbook aggression after Zimbabwe&rsquo;s captain Sikandar Raza won the toss and <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/zimbabwe-vs-bangladesh-2nd-t20-zim-vs-ban-toss-update/7072-2-0">elected to field</a> first. The opening duo of Saif Hassan and Tanzid Hasan Tamim took immediate charge, targeting Zimbabwe&#39;s formidable pace attack. Having struggled heavily in their 32-run defeat in the opening match, where Richard Ngarava and Blessing Muzarabani ripped through the top order, Bangladesh&#39;s revised approach was visible from the opening over.

Saif Hassan (29* off 22) looked particularly ominous, breaking the shackles early with a combination of elegant drives and authoritative pulls. He anchored the rapid start, ensuring that the hosts could not establish an early breakthrough. Tanzid Hasan (20* off 14), providing stellar support from the other end, rotated the strike efficiently while dispatching loose deliveries to the boundary.&nbsp;

Zimbabwe&rsquo;s opening bowlers struggled to replicate the venom from Wednesday&rsquo;s fixture. The home side missed their lengths slightly on a surface that offered decent carry but rewarded precise batting mechanics.&nbsp;

Brad Evans, brought into action during the initial phase, was heavily put under pressure as the Bangladesh batters smoothly manipulated fields. By the conclusion of the 6th over, the visitors had firmly seized the early momentum, scoring at a formidable run rate of 9 runs per over.

For an under-strength Bangladesh squad dealing with multiple high-profile absences, this explosive start provides the perfect platform to post a match-winning total. Zimbabwe will need an immediate response from their spin options or secondary seamers to break this partnership and prevent the game from slipping away early.
