Razzak (Man-of-the-Match) : Two matches in a row now for Razzak. "I am really happy today, the bowling was fantastic, was very happy with the wicket. About the catch he dropped, I could not see the ball."
Shakib: "Throughout the day, the wicket was helpful for the seamers and spinners. We have been playing good cricket, if the top-order did not click, the middle-order played and other way round too, someone is contributing. Mashrafe has bowled well today and very happy with Razzak's efforts."
Utseya: "It was a juicy wicket, it is unfortunate that we did not take our chances. we missed a stumping chance, we did not try our best in the middle innings. it was a learning curve against the left arm spinners."
The players shake hands, Bangladesh win by 65 runs and leads the series 2-1. Zimbabwe were never in the game after they were 6 down for 47, Razzak doing the damage. The only respectful knock came from Utseya.
Ravi: "This has become ususal with Zim. They start the series with a good win and let things off the hooke. Winning a match in foreign soil is good. Perhaps, ZIM should focus on winning more than one match."
