The T20I series between Bangladesh and Zimbabwe moves to Dhaka where the remaining two games will be played. The fourth T20I will be played at Shere Bangla National Stadium on Friday, May 10.
Bangladesh have been ruthless in the five-match T20I series so far. They have won three games in a row.
In the last game, Zimbabwe asked the hosts to bat first. On the back of a very good partnership between Towhid Hridoy (57) and Jaker Ali (44), Bangladesh finished their innings on 165/5. Blessing Muzarabani registered figures of 3/14 for Zimbabwe.
In reply, Zimbabwe kept losing wickets at regular intervals. They were reeling at 91/8 before Faraz Akram played a scintillating knock. He scored an unbeaten 34 off just 19 balls but it wasn’t enough as they fell short by nine runs.
Bangladesh picked up nine wickets in total and managed to hold their nerves to emerge victorious. Mohammad Saifuddin bagged three wickets whereas Rishad Hossain grabbed a couple of scalps to help their side defend the total successfully.
Zimbabwe showed good fight in the third T20I but it just wasn’t enough for them to secure a win. They continue to work hard for their first win on this tour and will be looking to fire in unison on Friday.
