Bangladesh have won the three-match one-day international (ODI) series against Zimbabwe, defeating the hosts by three wickets in the second match of the series at Harare on Sunday.
In the first innings, Shoriful Islam’s 4 for 46 and two top-order wickets captured by Shakib Al Hasan restricted Zimbabwe to 240 runs for nine wickets, reports espncricinfo.com.
Winning team captain Tamim Iqbal said, "Restricting them (the hosts) to 240 was a decent job by the bowlers. We definitely had some plans, and as a batting team, we could have done better. The way Shakib and Saifuddin batted was nice to see."
Shakib has become the Player of the Match for his getting 2 wickets and scoring unbeaten 96 runs.
He said, "Today was the day I had to put my hands up. Very happy... A lot of credit to Saifuddin, he showed a lot of composure."
“Today, the wicket was slower. If the bowlers were bowling straight into the wicket, you had to take chances, which is where we lost wickets," he added.
