19.2 - Mustafizur Rahman to Panyangara, FOUR, dug in short and this time Mustafizur finds Panyangara's top-edge on the pull, goes over the keeper and Panyangara is off the mark with a four

13.3 - A Hossain to M Waller, FOUR, when the length is short Waller takes full toll of it. This time he prefers to stay back and club it straight down the ground, no chance for long-on and long-off

13.1 - A Hossain to C Ervine, FOUR, Ervine emulates his partner now! A dance down the track and a well-timed loft over mid-off, as simple as it gets

10.3 - Nasir Hossain to M Waller, FOUR, there you go again! Hossain comes round the wicket for this one but there is no change in fortunes, sprays it down leg, Waller helps it with a leg-glance towards fine leg fence

10.2 - Nasir Hossain to M Waller, FOUR, four again! What's happening out there? Seems like Waller is batting on a different track, he kneels down and slog-sweeps this fullish delivery behind square on the leg-side

9.2 - Jubair Hossain to M Waller, FOUR, the debutant is greeted with a boundary through cover, keeps it short and wide, Waller jumps back and places the cut through cover

6.2 - Nasir Hossain to Sean Williams, FOUR

3.5 - A Hossain to C Ervine, FOUR, inside edge again and this time it races away to the boundary. Fullish and curling back in, inside edge found on the drive which escapes past the stumps and the keeper, four lucky runs for Ervine and Zimbabwe

1.2 - A Hossain to Chakabva, leg byes, FOUR, the effort ball from Hossain, short and angling in, Chakabva advances and is hurried for pace, he had to adjust at the last moment, ball brushes the thigh pad and races away to the fence, beating Rahim's dive

0.4 - Mortaza to S Raza, FOUR, short of length delivery on the stumps, Raza gets across and plays a well-timed pick up shot, places it over backward square leg and gets off the mark in style

16.2 - Mortaza to M Waller, SIX, brilliant hit! Full and around off, Waller makes room and makes a timely connection as he sends this over deep-extra cover with a stylish swing of the bat

12.2 - Mahmudullah to M Waller, SIX, brings up the 50-run stand with a slog-sweep over deep mid-wicket, middled it and got the desired result

11.0 - Nasir Hossain to M Waller, SIX, back in action again! Fittingly ends the over with a six but not so convincingly. For a fleeting moment, he looked a goner. This was tossed up on the stumps, Waller advances and lofts it through the line, looks to place it over long-on but didn't quite time it, Tamim at long-on takes the catch but couldn't balance himself as he oversteps behind the boundary ropes

10.1 - Nasir Hossain to M Waller, SIX, Waller is turning it on here! This is his third six in the seven balls that he has faced. Just a smidgen short and Waller pounces on it with a lovely-looking loft over sweeper cover, stand and admire stuff

9.4 - Jubair Hossain to M Waller, SIX, offers a juicy full one around off, Waller smacks it high and it sails over long-on again, this time much wider but the result is same - maximum it is

9.3 - Jubair Hossain to M Waller, SIX, six to follow up now, flat and straight, Waller skips out and slogs it over long-on, didn't time it well but there was enough power behind the shot

19.3 - Mustafizur Rahman to Panyangara, out Lbw!! Zimbabwe have been bowled out with 3 balls to spare! Mustafizur bowls a toe-crunching yorker on middle, Panyangara fails to clip it away, gets hit on the toe and he is plumb in front. Panyangara lbw b Mustafizur Rahman 4(3) [4s-1]

18.5 - A Hossain to Cremer, out Bowled!! Knocked him over! Another one bites the dust and Zimbabwe are staring at an all-out scenario even before the completion of 20 overs. Short and tailing back in, Cremer stays leg-side and aims for a slog over mid-wicket, misses and gets cleaned up. Cremer b A Hossain 3(4)

18.0 - Mustafizur Rahman to M Waller, out Caught by Litton Das!! Finally Bangladesh claim the wicket of Malcolm Waller but not before he bailed his team out of trouble. What a superb knock from Waller - take a bow! Full and drifting into the pads, Waller heaves and looks to place it over deep mid-wicket, miscued it completely. There was some confusion between the two fielders running in from the deep, but Litton calls for it and takes it comfortably in the end. M Waller c Litton Das b Mustafizur Rahman 68(31) [4s-4 6s-6]

16.0 - Jubair Hossain to Neville Madziva, out Caught by Nasir Hossain!! Good comeback this from the youngster, his first over was a nightmare and now he arrives in style by consuming 2 batsmen in a single over. Madziva comes down the track and tries to lift this flighted delivery over long-off, no timing whatsoever and it's an easy take for Nasir Hossain. Neville Madziva c Nasir Hossain b Jubair Hossain 1(3)

15.2 - Jubair Hossain to Luke Jongwe, out Lbw!! Third batsman to be dismissed for nought today. Jubair Hossain is a happy man after picking his maiden T20I wicket. The quicker one from Hossain, the line is pretty straight, Jongwe brings out the reverse sweep but misses it completely. Gets pinged on the pad in line with middle and it's an easy call for the umpire. Luke Jongwe lbw b Jubair Hossain 0(5)

14.2 - Mahmudullah to C Ervine, out Bowled!! Ball keeps low and hits the furniture, Ervine doesn't like it. This was flat and straight, Ervine aims for a sweep and is beaten by the low bounce, the ball rattles into middle and leg. He walks off with a sorry face. C Ervine b Mahmudullah 20(31) [4s-2]

8.4 - Nasir Hossain to Sean Williams, out Bowled!! Williams is gone too! Zimbabwe are in deep, deep trouble now. Williams, despite using his feet, was struggling to pick the spinners. This one was nicely tossed up on middle, Williams steps out in an attempt to slog, ball snakes in to hit the leg-stump as he was beaten by the dip and turn. Sean Williams b Nasir Hossain 15(21) [4s-1]

2.3 - Mortaza to Chigumbura, out Bowled!! One more batsman gone for a duck and it's Mashrafe Mortaza who wins the battle of skippers. This was full and swinging into the right-hander, Chigumbura looks to block with chained feet, ball sneaks through the bat-pad gap and hits middle. Chigumbura b Mortaza 0(1)

1.3 - A Hossain to Chakabva, out Caught by Rahim!! Both openers are back in the hut now! Chakabva tried to be too smart but Hossain is wise enough to adjust his length. The batsman tries a lap-scoop from the crease, Hossain sees it early and bowls it on a short of length. There was no timing on the shot whatsoever, ends up spooning in the air towards the keeper, who takes the simplest of catches after moving forward. Chakabva c Rahim b A Hossain 0(3)

0.5 - Mortaza to S Raza, out Caught by Litton Das!! Only one four - that'll be it from Raza. He is completely undone by the slower ball from Mortaza. Comes down the track and looks to chip this length delivery over mid-off, the pace wasn't there, ends up offereing a dolly to mid-off. S Raza c Litton Das b Mortaza 4(5) [4s-1]

12.3 - Mahmudullah to M Waller, 1 run, registers his fifty this time. This is the fastest fifty by a Zimbabwean batsman in T20Is, reaches his landmark with a clip to square leg

17.3 - Luke Jongwe to Mortaza, FOUR, comes round the wicket and bowls a short one on leg stump line, Mortaza helps it fine with a pull and the fielder in the deep had no chance of cutting it off, just two runs away from a win now

16.3 - Neville Madziva to Mortaza, FOUR, Mortaza finally gets off the mark off his seventh ball, that too with a boundary. It was short and down the leg-side, Mortaza swivels on the pull and sends it fine behind square on the leg-side

15.0 - Panyangara to Mahmudullah, FOUR, pitched up on the stumps, Mahmudullah goes hard at it, gets an inside edge that goes past the leg stump and hits the fine leg fence in no time

14.5 - Panyangara to Mahmudullah, FOUR, poor delivery from Panyangara. A full toss that's wide outside off, Mahmudullah bends down and lofts it inside-out over cover for a boundary

13.5 - Tendai Chisoro to Litton Das, FOUR, nicely done by Das! A little extra bounce on this flatter delivery outside off, Das stays back, gets on top of the bounce and runs it in the gap between backward point and short third man, collects four

12.3 - Cremer to Litton Das, FOUR, down the leg-side, all Das had to do was to get some bat on it, he does exactly that as helps it fine past the man at short fine leg, no need to run for those

10.1 - Cremer to Nasir Hossain, FOUR, floated up around off, Nasir leans forward and drives it through the cover region, races away to the fence in no time

5.1 - Tendai Chisoro to S Rahman, leg byes, FOUR

5.0 - Luke Jongwe to Tamim, FOUR, Tamim advances down the track and tries to give himself room, the bowler follows him but Tamim adjusts well, manages to clip it behind square on the on-side, got it in the gap and it raced away

4.5 - Luke Jongwe to Tamim, FOUR, Tamim tries to heave this one over mid-wicket, ends up getting a thick outside edge that runs away past the leg stump and crashes into the fine leg fence in no time.Streaky but Bangladesh wouldn't mind the runs

4.3 - Luke Jongwe to S Rahman, FOUR, slower ball outside off,Rahman had all the time in the world to go after it. He loft-drives it over the cover region and it crashes into the fence in no time

2.2 - Panyangara to S Rahman, FOUR, Rahman won't miss out on this. Another one that's overpitched outside off, Rahman clears his front leg, gives himself some room and heaves it over the mid-wicket region for another boundary

1.3 - Neville Madziva to S Rahman, FOUR, drilled! Overpitching just outside off, Rahman leans forward and drives it hard back past the bowler, who couldn't stop it after bending down to his left. The fielder at mid-off too had no chance of stopping that, gets off the mark with a boundary

0.2 - Panyangara to Tamim, FOUR, drifts onto the pads now, Tamim helps it on its way behind square on the leg-side, gets off the mark with a boundary

17.4 - Luke Jongwe to Mortaza, SIX, The Bangladeshi skipper finishes it off in style! Bangladesh take an unassailable 1-0 lead. Jongwe bowls a length ball right in the slot, Mortaza just lifts it through the line and deposits it into the stands straight back over the bowler's head

9.1 - Sean Williams to Nasir Hossain, SIX, mighty blow! Tossed up on the stumps, Nasir kneels down and nails the slog sweep over the wide long-on fence

15.1 - Tendai Chisoro to Litton Das, out Caught by Cremer!! Das departs after a useful 38-run partnership with Mahmudullah. This was bowled flatter outside off, Das rocks back for the cut, the ball bounces extra and catches the top-edge, balloons towards the man at short third man, who takes the easiest of catches. Litton Das c Cremer b Tendai Chisoro 17(12) [4s-2]

10.5 - Cremer to Tamim, out Lbw!! Ohh dear! Half the Bangladeshi side is back in the hut. Zimbabwe are well in with a chance now. This was the straighter one from Cremer, Tamim looks to defend, he was playing for the turn and misses it. Gets hit on the pad and even though Tamim sort of waved his bat, the umpire raised his finger to send him on his way back. Not sure whether he got a faint inside edge or not. Certainly the umpire didn't think so. Tamim lbw b Cremer 31(28) [4s-3]

10.2 - Cremer to Nasir Hossain, out Lbw!! Is there a twist in the tale? Nasir was looking in good touch but he got undone by the googly. He didn't pick it and went back in the crease to defend, missed it completely and wears it on the pad in line with the stumps. The finger went up straightaway as well. Nasir Hossain lbw b Cremer 16(12) [4s-1 6s-1]

7.0 - Cremer to Rahim, out Caught by S Raza!! Third one goes down. Another batsman who has gotten out trying to play the pull. This was dragged short outside off, Rahim rocks back for the pull, can only manage a top-edge that balloons towards short cover, where Raza takes an easy catch. Rahim c S Raza b Cremer 2(5)

5.2 - Tendai Chisoro to S Rahman, out Caught by C Ervine!! Bangladesh lose their second wicket. Chisoro drags this one short on the stumps, Rahman rocks back and doesn't bother to keep his pull along the ground, Ervine does extremely well to dive to his left and he takes a brilliant catch at mid-wicket, manages to hold on even when he landed on the ground. A brilliant effort from him. S Rahman c C Ervine b Tendai Chisoro 18(16) [4s-3]

1.0 - Panyangara to Tamim, out Anamul Run Out!! Bangladesh lose their first wicket in the very first over. Anamul is the one who has to go. This was very full outside off, Tamim drives it towards the cover region and sets off, Raza dives to his right at extra cover and stops the ball, Anamul was a little late to get off the blocks, the throw from Raza wasn't accurate as well but the keeper did exceptionally well to collect it quickly, he underarms it back on the stumps to catch Anamul short. Anamul run out (S Raza/Chakabva) 1(2)
