While playing this Harare thriller, Zimbabwe needed 28 runs off the last two overs.

Brendan Taylor and Tawanda Mupariwa piled 11 runs in the second-last over, leaving 17 for the final six deliveries. Bangladesh sent Mashrafe Mortaza to bowl the last over.

Taylor hit a six off the second ball and it seemed like Zimbabwe had a real chance of clinching the game. However, unpredictability was added to the mix yet again when Mupariwa got run-out on the fifth ball of the over.

With five runs needed to win the match, Taylor took the bull by its horns. He hit a six over mid-wicket to hand a breathtaking victory to his nation.
