Milestone
That's it from this contest and the series as a whole. Zimbabwe have won both the series 2-1. Bangladesh ends the series on a high. Zimbabwe next hosts India from 18th August onwards for a 3-match ODI series. Bangladesh will next be seen in action in the Asia Cup. Do join us for all the upcoming cricketing action across the globe and formats on our network. 

This is me Ayan Chatterjee signing off on behalf of my esteemed co-commentator Ajay Ahire, alongside scorer/analyst Dushyant Madhukar. Stay safe, happy, and cool. Goodnight and take care. 
Regis Chakabva now collects the Walton Trophy and Sikandar Raza who is the stand-in skipper for today is called in as well. Now, it's time to celebrate as they have won the series 2-1 and deservingly so. It's the first time Zimbabwe have beaten Bangladesh in an ODI series since 2013. Heartiest congratulations to them.  
Regis Chakabva, Zimbabwe Skipper: "I am OK. Yes, important to win the series and do well. We are having a good attitude and a winning formula here. To come from the qualifiers and then win the series like this has been great for us. We have a few niggles in our camp and hope they can recover in time to face the next assignments. We have the next series against India and I am looking forward to the series. Hope for the best. The way we fought in the first two matches has been exemplary, to say the least."
Tamim Iqbal (Bangladesh Skipper): "At one point I felt we are struggling, The wicket played really well and Afif also played really well, He times the ball really and batted superbly. When you lost a game scoring 300 so it always going to be tough to defend the total under the 300 mark as 250 looks 200 because of low confidence and Today I kept on attacking with the bowling changes and thankfully got a win. Luckily Ebadot was available for this game and happy that he delivered when he needed the most"
Sikandar Raza, Player of the Series: "Yes, it would have been nice to get the win today. Thank god for life and health for giving me to play well. Lots of things are done behind the scenes and loads of preparation for me. That has yielded results for us. It's not easy missing the big names. But to see the youngsters doing well is great for us. Innocent Kaia, and Ngarava, among others, stepped up to the plate and performed under extreme pressure. Good to see the youngsters doing well. It augurs well for us. I think the energy and passion that the crowd has shown is incredible and I thank them from the bottom of my heart." 
Afif Hossain (Player of the match): "Always nice to be on the winning side. I think we played really well but need to improve our bowling but the boys bowled really well today. Yes, Asia Cup is coming up so will take some rest and looking forward to it."
Time for the post-match presentation ceremony with Tino Mawoyo. 
A disappointing batting display by Zimbabwe as they have been bowled out for 151 in 32.2 overs to give the visitors a comfortable 105-run victory to give themselves a consolation win. The last wicket partnership delayed the inevitable, but the Tigers were too strong on the day. 

Chasing a competitive target of 257 for the win, Zimbabwe were off to a nightmarish start as the top order was blown away by Ebadot Hossain as he picked up 2 in the over including the prized scalp of Sikander Raza for a golden duck. Only Innocent Kaia got to double figures in the top order along with loads of extras that contributed to it as well. The keeper Madande got 24 to his name on debut. The hosts were reduced to 83-9 and were facing a heavy defeat. 

A rearguard partnership of 68 runs for the tenth wicket between Richard Ngarava (34*) and Victor Nyauchi (26) took them to 151 before being bowled out in 32.2 overs. But it was always a bridge too far to climb. 25 extras contributed to the total as well. 

Mustafizur Rahman was the pick of the bowlers for Bangladesh with 4-17 in 5.2 overs finishing things off.   A couple of wickets apiece for Taijul Islam, and debutant Ebadot Hossain. Hasan Mahmud also got a wicket alongside Mehidy Hasan Miraz who bowled only two overs this afternoon. Bangladesh will be delighted with the bowling performance apart from the last hour and a half towards the end. 

Put into bat first, Bangladesh got off to a steady start as Tamim Iqbal and Anamul Haque had a 41-run stand in 8.3 overs. Tamim Iqbal got run-out for 19 unfortunately after getting 19, which caused a mini collapse as Nazmul Hossain Shanto and Mushfiqur Rahim got out for ducks. Mahmudullah Riyad scored a painstaking 39 runs off 69 balls. But it was Anamul Haque Bijoy’s 76 off 73 balls and Afif Hossain’s brilliant 85 off 81 balls that propelled the Tigers to get to a competitive 256-9 in 50 overs. 18 extras added to their tally.

A couple of wickets for Brad Evans, and Luke Jongwe while stand-in skipper Sikandar Raza had an excellent day with the ball picking up 1-42 in 10 overs. A wicket to show for Richard Ngarava as well. 3 run-outs in the Bangladesh innings also contributed to the dismissal. Nyauchi, Kaia, and Madhevere went wicketless despite keeping things tight here. 

A win for Bangladesh by 105 runs to lose the series 1-2 to the hosts. Stay tuned for the post-match presentation ceremony that comes your way now.   

32.2 M Rahman to V Nyauchi
W WICKET! BOWLED! Full and straight, Nyauchi misses, and Fizz hits and ends the game in style. The Tigers win this finally and rightly so by 105 runs for a consolation win. Fizz gets his 4th wicket as the hosts have been bowled out for 151 here in 32.2 overs. A win by 105 runs for the Tigers.
