In the second T20I of a five-match series against Zimbabwe, hosts Bangladesh secured a comfortable 6-wicket victory at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium. Opting to bowl first after winning the toss, Bangladesh’s decision paid off as they managed to restrict Zimbabwe to 138 for 7 in their 20 overs.

Zimbabwe’s Innings:

Despite a shaky start, Zimbabwe found some solace in Brian Bennett (44 off 29) and Johnathan Campbell (45 off 24), who added crucial runs to the scoreboard. However, the overall batting line-up struggled against Bangladesh’s bowling attack. Taskin Ahmed (2/18) and Rishad Hossain (2/33) were particularly effective, sharing 4 wickets among them and maintaining economical rates.

Bangladesh’s Response:

Chasing a modest target, Bangladesh reached 142 for 4 in just 18.3 overs. Towhid Hridoy was the standout performer with a brisk 37 not out off 25 balls, helping his team to take control in the middle overs. Litton Das and Mahmudullah also made valuable contributions with scores of 23 and 26, respectively.

Zimbabwe’s bowlers struggled to defend their total, although Luke Jongwe managed to claim 2 wickets. However, the lack of support from other bowlers meant Bangladesh comfortably chased down the target with nine balls to spare.

Player of the Match:

Towhid Hridoy was named Player of the Match for his crucial knock, which decisively swung the match in Bangladesh’s favour.

Series Overview:

Bangladesh have taken a commanding lead in the series, winning the first two matches. The first T20I saw them triumph by 8 wickets, and they continued their dominance in this second match. With the series progressing, Zimbabwe will need to regroup and rethink their strategy for the upcoming games.
