Presentation:

MOM Hamilton Masakadza:

Lots of credit to our spinners for pulling it back to nicely in the middle and to Richard. Its very difficult when the pitch slows a little but but you have to make sure you keep things ticking, which is where I think they got it wrong. 165 would have been par. I've been striking the ball well and scoring quite a few runs.

Brendan Taylor:

We felt we were 15 short, we stuck it out towards the end to get a competitive total. Our bowlers were exceptional today. We knew our spinners could do the job, a lot of slower balls from the seamers. Richard is exceptional, able to find the blockhole at will. He's got a great attitude and he just wants to keep learning and improving. He's just a keen kid who wants to get better. Bowling upfront can be better. We leaked a couple too many boundaries and we can sharpen up our middle overs with the bat.

Mushfiqur Rahim: I thought the boys really tried hard but Zimbabwe executed their plans better than us. I thought the wicket was still good, we had a good start but ZImbabwe came back well in the middle overs. Ash and Tamim were successful, hopefully we can learn from our mistakes.

Zimbabwe defended a score that was perhaps slightly below-par. Excellent bowling from Jarvis and Muzhange on debut. Bangladesh faltered when Tamim Iqbal and Ash adopting a cautious approach. Even though they managed a stand of 61, they left to much for the middle order to do. Join us in a few for the presentation.

Jarvis to Mashrafe Mortaza, 1 run, Driven down to long off and it doesn't matter. Zimbabwe have won by 11 runs. BT hugs his boys while Alan Butcher can smile now.

Jarvis to Nasir Hossain, 3 runs, Zimbabwe's much improved fielding continues as that is hit over third man and hauled in by Stuart M who tag teams with Mpofu to stop the boundary

Jarvis to Nasir Hossain, 2 runs, driven on the up, beats the inner ring but Cremer comes round to stop the four and this could be it for Bangladesh
19.3
1
Jarvis to Mashrafe Mortaza, 1 run, another good ball, Jarvis finding the spot perfectly and that's only a single. Bangladesh need three sixes to win now
19.2
W
Jarvis to Mahmudullah, OUT, Another dot ball from Jarvis and a wicket. Lucky perhaps, a full toss as he searched for the yorker. Mahmuldullah hits in the air and finds Stuart M on the edge of the circle who takes a good catch. Pressure on Bangladesh now.

Jarvis to Mahmudullah, no run, excellent, full, straight, perfect. There's no getting a run off that one.

Jarvis to bowl the last over. Bangladesh need 19 runs to win. Quite an end we have in store here.
