refreshThat's it from this game then! The third T20I will be played on the 7th of this month and it is a must-win for the visitors if they are to stay alive in the series. That game begins at 1430 IST (1500 GMT). Till then, goodbye and take care!
Najmul Hossain Shanto says the bowlers bowled well and with the rain and everything, he is happy with how the side player. Mentions there are a lot of areas they need to improve. Ends by saying he is happy with how the team is playing and he is looking forward for the next game.
Towhid Hridoy, PLAYER OF THE MATCH, says it wasn't easy and he just wanted to finish the game. Adds he played according to the situation. Ends by saying he enjoyed his innings.
Sikandar Raza says the youngsters were impressive and that is the reason why they're picked. Mentions they could have batted better in the first 10 and they need to find ways to tackle the new ball. Adds the rain breaks did not help, it was tough, the wicket also got better and he feels they did well to take it so deep. Ends by saying they are looking forward to the next game.
He held fort at one end and along with the support of Ali and Mahmudullah took his side over the line. Zimbabwe bowled well, Jongwe was good along with Raza and Muzarabai but it was towards the end where they gave the game away. Far too many boundary balls and that is what cost them the game. However, credit to them as they fought hard first after losing too many in the first half of their batting innings and then while defending a moderate total, they managed to drag it till the second last over.
Quite a comfortable win in the end for Bangladesh but this game was a lot more exciting than the scorecard showed. Defending a moderate total, Bangladesh were off to a sedate start. They never got going but always kept the rate needed in check. However there was a moment where they fell behind when they lost three quickly and the rain started to come down. They were behind DLS at that time. However, the scare did not last for long as the rain disappeared and then it was the Towhid Hridoy show.
