Pitch Report

The surface has been under cover overnight and the morning, maybe it'll do a bit early on. This pitch has offered more turn than Chattogram - the spinners have really enjoyed bowling here. All the spinners got a bit of turn, around 2.5 degrees of spin here compared to 2.2 in Chattogram. The key to bowling slow on this pitch is not to bowl too full, otherwise the batters can hit you down the ground. The spinners and seamers will need to drag their length back - 6 to 8 meters, and the ball will hold a little bit. Little dry here at Dhaka, and the batters end up dragging it and get caught at deep mid wicket. The totals are coming down - 150 or 155 will help you get into the contest, reports HD Ackermann.

Commentary

That draws curtains to this 5-match T20I series between Bangladesh and Zimbabwe comes to an end with the former taking the series 4-1. Bangladesh will now head to the United States to take on the USA team before the T20 world cup. As far as Zimbabwe is concerned, they will be flying home with a win next to their name. This is Sourabh and Rajarshi taking your leave, hope you enjoyed the coverage. Keep following Sportskeeda for all the sporting action from around the globe, ciao!

The Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto collects the trophy and then celebrates with his teammates as the sun settles on this series.

Najmul Hossain Shanto (Bangladesh Captain) - I think the way we played in this series, there are a lot of areas to improve on.We did not start off well today but in the middle but Mahmudullah and Shakib batted really well, very happy for them. We have prepared well for the upcoming world cup. Three more matches to go against USA to prepare.

Taskin Ahmed has been awarded as the Player of The Series (8 wickets in 4 matches). He is not present at the ground so the Bangladesh skipper, Shanto picks up the award on his behalf

Brian Bennett has been adjudged Player Of The Match for an all-round performance! Here's what he has to say: Very grateful for today. Pity it came today, proud that we're going back with a victory. Good effort from the team today. We've been backed by the skipper and coaching staff nicely, got a few youngsters in the team now, trying our best and let's see what happens.

Sikandar Raza (Zimbabwe captain): It's nice to go home with a win. We were working to get closer to the victory margin the last three games. Think we could have won one or two games, but with a young squad, we'd have expected a few mistakes. Pretty proud and pleased the way the young boys have performed this series. Nice to contribute, in the last presentation I said the only piece missing in the jigsaw puzzle is me scoring runs. That'll give the team more pleasure. Always nice to contribute to those wins. The onus was on me when we were losing. A lot of positive for us despite losing, specially the youngsters, we have something to work with in T20 cricket. Incredibly proud of the squad as well, I'm sure these young guns will take Zimbabwe cricket forward.

MATCH SUMMARY

Zimbabwe won by 8 wickets

Sikandar Raza 72*(46) | Brian Bennett 2/20(4)
Mahmudullah 54(44) | Shakib Al Hasan 1/9(4)

A comprehensive victory in the end for the visitors, Zimbabwe, who have avoided a clean sweep as they secure a comfortable 8-wicket win to conclude the series on a winning note.

The run chase started with a refreshing positive intent from Brian Bennett as he took the attack to the Bangladesh bowlers. It was for the first time that the hosts' bowlers were put under the pump in the powerplay. Shakib did pull things back towards the end of the powerplay with a wicket but Zimbabwe made sure they were ahead of the rate.

Captain Sikandar Raza then joined hands with Bennett and he begin in an aggressive manner showing his intent straightaway. The duo made sure that there were no further collapses as they stitched together a 75-run partnership before Bennett got out on 70 - his first international fifty.

Raza was struggling due to cramps throughout his innings but after the fall of Bennett he took matters into his own hands and showed why he is Zimbabwe's best batter as he finished off the chase in a powerful and clinical manner.

Earlier in the piece, Bangladesh had got to what seemed like a formidable total of 157 on the back of Mahmudullah's half-century and valuable contributions from Shanto and Shakib. They had got off to a wobbly start losing their first 3 wickets for 15 runs before Shanto and Mahmudullah steadied the ship and took them out of difficult waters. A cameo in the end form Jaker Ali had also given a shot in the arm for them.

Zimbabwe bowlers, particularly, Bennett and Muzarabani were impressive taking 2 wicks each while the other wickets went to the left-arm spin of Masakadza and the seam of Jongwe.

18.3 Mahedi Hasan to Johnathan Campbell, that'll do! On a length around off stump, Campbell makes room, chops this towards sweeper cover, the batters cross over and collect the winning run. Zimbabwe will end the T20I series on a high!

18.2 Mahedi Hasan to Johnathan Campbell, on a length around middle and leg, this one skids onto Campbell, who chops it towards the leg side

18.1 Mahedi Hasan to Johnathan Campbell, FOUR! The scores are level! Floated up nicely on off stump, Campbell has a slog at this one, and he beats the man at mid wicket to his right with it

Mahedi Hasan [2.0-0-26-0] is back into the attack

Zimbabwe are cruising home now courtesy their skipper who has put on a show with the bat. The finish line is within their sight, just 5 needed off 12 deliveries

17.4 Mohammad Saifuddin to Sikandar Raza, INTO THE FIRST TIER AT MID WICKET! Off-cutter, right in the slot outside off stump. Raza, having picked it off the hand, had a big heave across the line, connected, and sent this one 99 meters towards mid wicket!
