Hasan Mahmud to Sikandar Raza
Back-to-back hundreds for Sikandar Raza and he is all pumped up! What an innings this has been once again from Raza, the Harare crowd gives him a standing ovation, deservingly so. This is full and on the pads, Raza flicks it towards deep mid-wicket for a couple of runs. Raza also becomes just the third Zimbabwean to score back-to-back ODI hundreds.

FOUR! Sloppy work in the deep and Sikandar Raza ends the over with a boundary. This is full and wide, Raza slashes it away behind point and beats the fielder stationed in the deep. The 200-run stand also comes up between these two, simply unreal. 41 needed now off 42 balls.

Mehidy Hasan to Regis Chakabva
OUT! CAUGHT! Have Bangladesh been handed a lifeline here? This is slower through the air from Mehidy Hasan and served on a shorter length, around off. Regis Chakabva stays back and just looks to slog it away leg side but it is a tired-looking shot from the skipper. The ball goes off the top edge and is skied around the mid-wicket region. The opposition skipper, Tamim Iqbal gets under it and takes a simple catch. Chakabva departs after a feisty knock.

Hasan Mahmud to Sikandar Raza
This is a low full toss around off, Sikandar Raza thumps it straight to the man at extra cover and sets off for the single. The fielder takes a second more to turn and throw the ball. The direct hit comes in at the bowler's end but Raza seems safe. There is half an appeal for a run-out and the umpires do go upstairs. The replays show that Raza is well in, so it will be a single. 33 needed now off 30 balls.
