The third game of the five-match T20I series between Bangladesh and Zimbabwe will be played on Tuesday, May 7. The Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram will be hosting this clash. After this game, the action will shift to Dhaka.
Bangladesh won the first T20I comprehensively and carried forward the winning momentum. They completely outplayed Zimbabwe in the second game to go 2-0 up in the series.
Zimbabwe were asked to bat first and their batters struggled. Brian Bennett (44*) and Jonathan Campbell (45) stitched together a decent partnership but they could only put 138 on the board. The hosts picked up seven wickets in total, with Taskin Ahmed and Rishad Hossain finishing with two each.
Bangladesh’s batters then stepped up and backed up their bowlers. They lost four wickets while chasing 139 but Towhid Hridoy’s unbeaten 37 along with Mahmudullah’s 26* helped them get across the line with nine balls to spare.
Bangladesh are on the brink of sealing the series and will be hoping to take an unassailable lead on Tuesday. Zimbabwe have failed to put a collective performance in the series so far and will have to bring out their A-game on Tuesday to keep the five-match series alive.
