BAN Inngs
Madhevere to Nahid Rana, out Bowled!! Timbaaaaaaahhhhh! That was a tossed up delivery, landed, turned in and Nahid Rana stayed leg-side of the ball for the ball to go past his outer-edge and slam into the sticks. Fifth wicket for a spinner. The seamers and spinners have shared the ruins. Bangladesh would be gutted. They have been bowled out for 191. Madhevere gets his second wicket off the over to put an end to the innings. Nahid Rana b Madhevere 0(4)
Madhevere to Jaker Ali, out Caught by Ben Curran!! Jaker Ali has run out of patience. That was tossed up at 86.5 kph, outside off, the batter wanted to go across the line but the bowler pulled his length back and the ball went off the outer-edge and went very high. The man at cover steadied himself and took it easily. Zimbabwe need one more to bowl out Bangladesh on day 1. That would be a superb feat. Jaker Ali c Ben Curran b Madhevere 28(59) [4s-6]
Muzarabani to Hasan Mahmud, out Bowled!! That's a cracker of a delivery. Lands, explodes and the ball kisses the top of off. A pacer's delight to watch that. Lovely. The batter looked to defend by staying leg-side of the ball but failed to wood it. Muzarabani has his third. Muzarabani is such a fine and improved bowler. Hasan Mahmud tried hard in that little innings but has been sent back thanks to the best delivery of the innings. Muzarabani was very chuffed after picking that wicket. The ball kissed the top of off and flew over the keeper. Hasan Mahmud b Muzarabani 19(30) [4s-4]
Wellington Masakadza to Taijul Islam, out Caught by Nyasha Mayavo!! Third wicket for Wellington Masakadza! Flatter and shorter down leg, Taijul Islam gets inside the line to help it on its way to fine leg. There's some wood on it and Nyasha Mayavo shows good reflexes. The keeper moves swiftly to hsi right and pouches it with both hands. Taijul Islam c Nyasha Mayavo b Wellington Masakadza 3(19)
Muzarabani to Mehidy Hasan Miraz, out Caught by Nyasha Mayavo!! Mehidy Hasan Miraz is stunned. He just looked at the deck and paused. Then started walking off. He had a pensive look. That was a nasty short ball, Mehidy Hasan Miraz looked to fend it off and gloved it down to the keeper. This time the keeper didn't mess it up, a little leap, a little bit of an appeal and the umpire was convinced. The hosts are in tatters now. The tail is exposed now. Muzarabani is getting the ball to talk and how. He has his second scalp. Mehidy Hasan Miraz c Nyasha Mayavo b Muzarabani 1(4)
Wellington Masakadza to Mominul, out Caught by Madhevere!! Another silly way of throwing a wicket away. Drags one from well outside off and hits it straight to the man at mid-wicket. The bat face closed on impact and the man at mid-wicket took a sharp catch. Wasn't a great ball but Zimbabwe have picked up 5 wickets now. Mominul tried to play an attacking shot but didn't place or time it. Wellington Masakadza continues his magic arm. The hosts in a spot of bother now. Mominul c Madhevere b Wellington Masakadza 56(105) [4s-8 6s-1]
Wellington Masakadza to Mushfiqur, out Caught by Brian Bennett!! Was a short ball, Mushfiqur went back to pull it and found the man at mid-wicket. Mushfiqur has thrown it away here. Not the best of ball, again, Mushfiqur looked to break free but found the able of hands of Brian at mid-wicket. Body blow for Bangladesh as their dependable batter is gone. He is known for long hauls in the middle but perishes to a soft dismissal. The spinner has managed to pick a wicket in his first over. Mushfiqur c Brian Bennett b Wellington Masakadza 4(18)
Muzarabani to Shanto, out Caught by Madhevere!! Has been guided down to the man at point. Poor shot. Was short, extra bounce, the batter slashed at it and sent an easy catch to the man at point. The batter is dejected as that could have been sent anywhere. Blessing strikes for Zimbabwe. The batter had been playing a few attacking shots and has fallen prey to one. Not the best of balls bowled today by the tall pacer but the extra bounce did the job. The batter also didn't keep it down and that plotted his downfall. Third one down and one after a long time for the visitors. The skipper was set to get a big one but he will have to go back. The fielder at point hopped up a little to take it. Was hit firmly but wasn't placed well. Shanto c Madhevere b Muzarabani 40(69) [4s-6]
Nyauchi to Mahmudul Hasan Joy, out Caught by Nyasha Mayavo!! A second wicket for Nyauchi, he's got rid of both openers now, but this was a nothing shot from Mahmudul. On a good length and holding its line outside off, Mahmudul doesn't need to play, but he pokes well away from his body, gets a thin edge and it nicely went through to the keeper. After a barren first half an hour, Zimbabwe have struck twice through their first change bowler. Mahmudul Hasan Joy c Nyasha Mayavo b Nyauchi 14(35) [4s-2]
Nyauchi to Shadman Islam, out Caught by Brian Bennett!! There's the first wicket, Nyauchi hits his stride and is rewarded almost immediately - pitched up in that channel just outside off and the length drew Shadman into the drive, he does so with fairly hard hands, gets a thick outside edge and it carris low to gully, Bennett dives across to his right, gets both hands under and completes a fine catch. They're checking for a clean catch, umpire Kumar Dharmasena has a few looks and he's convinced that it's a neat catch, Shadman has to go and Zimbabwe have their first wicket. Shadman Islam c Brian Bennett b Nyauchi 12(23) [4s-1]
