The Dhaka Times Desk Defying all fears, Bangladesh kept their hopes of the semi-finals alive by defeating Zimbabwe by 3 runs. Batting first, Team Tigers gave Zimbabwe a target of 151 runs. Zimbabwe scored 147 runs.
Bangladesh won the toss and decided to bat at the Gabba in Brisbane. Bangladesh scored a challenging score of 150 with Nazmul Hossain Shanter's fifty and Afif's tenacity.
On the other hand, Bangladesh started the bowling brilliantly. Picked up 4 wickets in the power play. In the beginning, Tiger pacer Taskin Ahmed poured fire in front of the Zimbabwean batters. Along with that, Mustafizur Rahman, who has not been in form for a long time, also joined later.
Pacer Taskin Ahmed has gifted Bangladesh wickets in the first over in 3 consecutive matches. Batting on a target of 151 runs, Zimbabwe's batting was shaken by Taskin's injury in the first over. Taskin sent Zimbabwe opener Wesley Madhvere back to the dugout on the third ball of the innings. But Taskin managed a boundary off the second ball. On the very next ball, Madhavere was caught by Mustafizur Rahman at deep third.
Taskin flashed again in the third over. Just like a repeat of the first over. The third ball of the over digested the boundary to Zimbabwe captain Craig Irvine. Taskin sent Irvin to the sack in the next ball as well. The Zimbabwean captain was then caught in the gloves of Nurul Hasan Sohan behind the wicket of the tiger pacer. At the end of 6 overs of power play, Zimbabwe could score only 36 runs for 4 wickets.
