Sent to into bat by Zimbabwe skipper Hamilton Masakadza, Bangladesh posted 175/7 in 20 overs on the back of Mahmudullah’s 41-ball 62. Liton Das and Mushfiqur Rahim also played valuable knocks of 38 and 32 respectively.

Kyle Jarvis was the pick of the bowlers for Zimbabwe, claiming 3 for 32 in his 4 overs. Chris Mpofu also chipped in with a couple of wickets by conceding 42 runs in his 4 overs.
