Zimbabwe almost won the match. Sikandar Raja`s Zimbabwe needed 14 runs in the last over to win. Then, the world`s best all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan picked up the bowling. Although he could not do well in batting, he met the needs of the team in the last over of the day. And the Tigers finally won by 5 runs.
A competitive match was seen for the first time against the current Zimbabwe series. After the failure of the batsmen, Bangladesh won the fourth consecutive series for the brillance of the bowlers.
Shakib Al Hasan scored 35 runs in 3 overs 4 balls, but took 4 valuable wickets. In the last over he bowled, Zimbabwe needed 14 runs with two wickets in hand. Shakib scored 8 runs off 4 balls, out of which he took two wickets. All out is Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe`s batting was not too bad when playing against the target of 144 runs given by Bangladesh. However, it was the host bowlers who gave the gift of controlled bowling. Zimbabwe came close to the target and stopped again. Thanks to the tight bowling of Taskin-Saqib-Mustafiz, the visitors` innings ended with 138 runs. Bangladesh won by 5 runs in the thrilling fourth match.
