Osama Azeem: "Did they complete one run on that Nurul Hasan run out? Looked like he was just completing the first run, in that case, total should be 149 only. " Nurul finished the first and was turning for the second.
Another comment from Osama: "So basically those 2 drop catches of Afif Hosain only costed Zimbabwe 6 extra runs luckily, that six of Afif in Sikander Raza's 19th over. It could have been more costly. Lets see how costly these 6 runs are for them. "
Thanks, Shashank.
Zimbabwe have a chase on their hands, and it ain't going to be straightforward. They started superbly with the ball, but fell apart a bit in the middle, partly due to their fielding. Runs came in torrents after the halfway mark and it wasn't until they broke the Shakib-Shanto stand did they get a semblance of normalcy to proceedings. They've made 87 off the last 10 overs. Make no mistake, this has been among the better batting performances from Bangladesh in recent times. Can their bowlers step up to keep their campaign alive? Ekanth will be back for the chase shortly.

Ngarava to Afif Hossain, OUT, struck flush on the pad, Afif looks to walk across and help him over short fine but misses. Umpire Erasmus raises the finger. Afif reviews in the hope it's sliding down. Must say that's an optimistic call. The ball would've smashed down leg stump.

Ngarava to Afif Hossain, 1 run, OUT, in and out at mid-off, Oh, Williams! This was hit hard and hit straight to him. Should've been taken. But having dropped the catch, Williams is alert enough to the possibility of the second as he fires in a superb throw on the bounce to the keeper who whips the bails off with Nurul just short of the crease. So Williams dropped the catch but made up for it with the run out

Ngarava to Mosaddek Hossain, OUT, carves this straight to short third. Ngavara goes Yorker-length, Mosaddek looks to scythe this behind point but the ball flies off the thick edge to the fielder. They check upstairs to see if the ball bounced as soon as it made contact with the bat, but it seems alright. It flew off the face of the bat.

Raza is fuming as he storms off after picking up his cap from the umpire. Ervine gives him a pat. Ngavara to bowl out here

Sikandar Raza to Afif Hossain, SIX, how far has he hit that? Very far. Evans who overran the ball at deep midwicket has to now run back because he has seemingly miscalculated. The ball just about clears the ropes in the end for a massive, massive hit.

Sikandar Raza to Afif Hossain, 1 run, dropped by Evans at deep midwicket! Got to say that was an absolute dolly. Afif gets a juicy full toss that he swings into the leg side, doesn't time it well ans Evans completely made a mess of that after doing all the hard work in getting to the ball. He went reverse cup when he could've gone the conventional way.
Sensonga: "Has Ervine miscalculated? Muzarabani is not going to bowl out his 4! Why would that be?"

Ngarava to Afif Hossain, 2 runs, this is magnificent from Afif! Takes a step across and opens the bat face late to lift this into the gap behind point. Sweeper cover has a lot of work to do, Evans does wonderfully well to cover nearly 30 yards and then throws himself full stretch to pull the ball back in before going over the skirting.
