Bangladesh secured a hard-fought victory over Zimbabwe by a narrow margin of 5 runs in the fourth T20I of their five-match series at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium on Friday. Despite setting a below-par total of 143 runs, the Bengal Tigers managed to defend it successfully, as Zimbabwe faltered against Bangladesh’s bowling attack, getting all out for 138 runs in 19.4 overs.

The highly charged encounter also saw a light-hearted moment when Zimbabwe’s fielders missed a straightforward opportunity for a run-out. The video capturing this amusing blunder has been circulating on social media, delighting fans with its comedic value.

Zimbabwe’s failed attempts of run-out leave fans in splits

During the 20th over of the match, Blessing Muzarabani delivered a slower back-of-a-length ball to Tanvir Islam, who defended it just beyond the bowler. Initially, there was a call for a quick single from Mustafizur Rahman, who was positioned at non-striker, but due to confusion, both batters hesitated momentarily before attempt??ing the run again, creating a clear oppo??rtunity for a run-out.

However, the bowler failed to aim accurately at the stumps, resulting in the ball veering away from the wicketkeeper towards the third-man boundary, allowing the batters to sneak in an overthrow. More confusion between the Bangladesh players left them stranded at one end. A fielder threw the ball back towards the bowler’s end in an attempt to effect an easy run-out. Yet, despite having ample time and the ball almost within his reach, fielder Johnathan Campbell fumbled. He had a chance to gather the ball and dislodge the bails with the batter inches away from him, but he couldn’t execute the dismissal.

This momentary lapse provided a? dual lifeline to Mustafizur lea??ving other Zimbabwe fielders incredulous at the missed opportunity.

Tanzid Hasan and Saumya Sarkar provide solid start to Bangladesh

After being asked to bat first, Bangladesh made a lively beginning, led by Tanzid Hasan‘s aggressive batting performance. Hasan compiled an impressive 52 runs off 37 balls, setting the tone for the innings. Meanwhile, Soumya Sarkar, batting at the other end, offered valuable stability, contributing 41 runs from 34 deliv?eries.

Zimbabwe’s bowling attack stuns the hosts

Under the leadership of Sikandar Raza, the Zimbabwean bowlers effectively slowed down Bangladesh’s scoring momentum, consistently taking vital wickets. Luke Jongwe‘s performance, securing 3 wickets for 20 runs, alongside Richard Ngarava‘s contribution of 2 wickets for 27 runs in his four overs, played a pivotal role in containing Bangladesh to a modest total of 143 runs within their stipulated 20 overs.

Shakib’s outstanding bowling display, claiming the figures of 3.4-0-35-4, combined with Rahman’s impressive spell of 4-0-19-3 of 3, shifted the momentum decisively in Bangladesh’s favour.

Bangladesh will host a five??-match T20I series against Zimbabwe starting on May 3 this year. This series is significant for the Bengal Tigers as it will be their final T20I series before the T20 World Cup 2024.

The first three matches of the series will be played on May 3, 5, and 7 in Chattogram. Meanwhile, the last 2 games will be hosted by Dha?ka on May 10 and 12.

Bangladesh announce their squad for the first three T20Is against Zimbabe

On Sunday, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) revealed the 15-member squad for the initial t??hree matches of the forthcoming series.

Left-handed batter Najmul Hossain Shanto will captain Bangladesh against Zimbabwe. Along with him, the home team included power hitters like Litton Das and Mahmudullah.

No place for Shakib al Hasan and Mustafizur Rahman

All-rounder Shakib-al-Hasan and Mustafizur Rahman failed to make their way in the team. According to Hannan Sarkar, a member of the BCB selection panel, Shakib expressed his desire to participate in the DPL. Consequently, Afif Hossain was chosen as his replacement in the team.

“Shakib is expected to come on April 30 and he desired to play two DPL games and we felt it can be good as in T20 format you don’t get time to get ready in the middle and he can have that time,” said Hannan, as quoted by Cricbuzz.

Speaking about Mustafizur, the selector stated that they omitted the pacer from the team due to his prolonged involvement in cricket, indicating his need to take a break. Nonet?heless, Hannan hinted at the possibility of the board including Mustafizur in the last two matches of the series.

“Mustafizur is not in the squad as he is playing for long time. He played BPL and Sri Lanka T20 series and later moved to IPL. He is playing for long time and he needs recovery, both mental and physical. Our chief selector spoke with him and he wanted recovery time in one portion of the series and we did not include him in the first three games. We might include him in the second portion meaning the last two T20Is,” Hannan added.

Tanzid Hasan Tamim likely to make his debut

The squad also includes uncapped opener Tanzid Hasan Tamim and the return of openers Parvez Hossain Emon, Tanvir Islam, Afif Hossain, and Mohammad Saifuddin. Notably, Anamul Haque Bijoy, Mohammad Naim, Soumya Sarkar, Aliss Al Islam and Taijul Islam, who featured in the last T20I series against Sri Lanka at home in February, did not retain their places in t??he squad.

Hannan expressed optimism about Tamim and Saifuddin, highlighting Soumya’s absence from the squad due to injury.

“Tanzid Tamim is yet to make debut but we think he is promising and have the ability to play T20 cricket and that is why we included him in the squad. Parvez Emon played only one T20I so far and apart from that he played two matches in a different tournament (in Asian Games) and we want to see him,” the 41-year-old said.

“Soumya is still injured and still could not become fully fit and so we could not keep him three-match squad and later we will take a decision on him after talking with the medical team,” he said. “We feel Saifuddin is an all-rounder and we are planning to play him in Zimbabwe series and we hope he will execute his role in the middle,” he added.

Bangladesh squad for first 3 T20Is against Zimbabwe

Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Litton Kumer Das, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, ??Tawhid Hridoy, Mahmud Ullah, Jaker Ali Anik, Shak Mahedi Hasan, Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Tanzim Has??an Sakib, Parvez Hossain Emon, Tanvir Islam, Afif Hossain, Saifuddin.
