Zimbabwe start gradually

They scored just 22 runs in the initial six overs and didn't hit a limit in that frame of mind for just the second time in T20 cricket. It was likewise just the second time that Bangladesh didn't surrender a limit in the powerplay.
Joylord Gumbie at long last tracked down the limit in the seventh over yet fell in the following, holing out to mid-off for 17, the most minimal score for a Zimbabwe opener in an innings of no less than 30 balls. Rishad 's twofold strike in the 10th over was a urgent period of the game, as he disposed of Zimbabwe's commander Sikandar Raza and Clive Madande, their top-scorer from the principal T20I
Craig Ervine's mis-coordinated clear off Mahedi Hasan decreased Zimbabwe to 42 for 5 in the eleventh over and another disappointing absolute appeared to be unavoidable.
Campbell beams on debut
Johnathan Campbell, the child of previous Zimbabwe chief Alistair, gave his group something to bowl at with a lively innings on debut.

Campbell swung Shoriful Islam for Zimbabwe's initial six in the thirteenth over and Bennett smacked Taskin over midwicket in the fifteenth. Campbell then pounded Rishad and Saifuddin for sixes in the following two overs; Bennett pummeled Shoriful straight in the eighteenth over.
After Campbell's excusal, Bennett gave Zimbabwe a solid wrap up, hitting a four and a six as they took 18 off the last finished. He completed on an unbeaten 44 off 29 balls, and Zimbabwe finished on 138 for 7.
Bangladesh goof
Bangladesh made a fair beginning in their pursuit. Litton Das, battling for runs in white-ball cricket this year, slope scooped Gift Muzarabani for a six over the wicketkeeper in the second finished. His initial accomplice Tanzid Hasan slugged Ainsley Ndlovu for his initial six in the fourth finished. However, left-arm spinner Ndlovu made the main forward leap for Zimbabwe in the 6th over when Tanzid confused a somewhat speedier conveyance to the midwicket.
Right when it seemed as though Bangladesh had the pursuit in their grip, things began to occur. Litton was dropped by Luke Jongwe off Raza on 21. Jongwe then, at that point, compensated for the error with two wickets in his following over: skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto got at long-and Litton at in reverse point for 23.
Hridoy takes care of business
Towhid and Jaker Ali steadied the pursuit prior to getting limits from the twelfth over. Jaker sent off Jongwe over midwicket for his initial six after Hridoy slapped him through point for four. Hridoy's artfulness came to the front when he gently slice Raza for four through third-man.
At the point when Richard Ngarava excused Jaker in the fourteenth over, it united Bangladesh's best finishers. With 33 required in the last four overs, Hridoy and Mahmudullah managed the pursuit by scoring 16 off the seventeenth over from Jongwe.
Mahmudullah sent off Richard Ngarava over midwicket for a 103m six, and afterward Hridoy's dispatched him over fine leg for six more to everything except end the game.
