Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh Match Stats

OUT! Chakabva has pulled off a miraculous run out, Dhoni-esque. Sarkar gets run out while attempting the second run. What an excellent piece of work by the wicketkeeper. Full in length and around off, Sarkar closes the face of his bat and works it through mid-wicket. He rushes back for the second run and the fielder fires a flat throw wide of the stumps at the striker's end. Chakabva runs across to his right, doesn't collect the ball and instead flicks it onto the stumps without looking behind. The appeal is made and it's referred upstairs. The replays find Sarkar short of the crease. Spectacular work by Regis. A fine knock by Soumya nonetheless. 51 needed off 41 balls.

RUN OUT CHANCE! Missed. A tossed up ball landing full on middle, Naim flicks it to deep square leg and completes a single. He wants the second run also and starts to run for it without looking at his partner. Naim realizes late that Mahmudullah is not interested and has to turn and run. Meanwhile, the throw comes to the bowler's end and Sikandar Raza intervenes before it can reach the bowler. He fumbles too and deflects it away. Naim gets the chance to dive safely inside the crease. Had Sikandar allowed the ball to go to the bowler, it would have been a simple run out chance.
