The match starts at 6 PM and will be aired live on Gazi TV and T-sports\u00a0 channels.\u00a0 The hosts grabbed a dominating eight-wicket victory in the first game by\u00a0 showing a superlative performance in all three departments with their bowling\u00a0 attack continuing the purple patch. The pace spearhead Shoriful Islam though went wicket-less after conceding 37\u00a0 runs in four overs, it mattered little because of Taskin Ahmed and Mohammad\u00a0 Saifuddin who both took three wickets in an economical bowling show. Spinners Mahedi Hasan and Rishad Hossain also bowled brilliantly to\u00a0 complement the pacers as Bangladesh bowled Zimbabwe out for paltry 124 in 20\u00a0 overs. Thereafter they raced to the victory in just 15.2 overs, reaching 126- 2 with opener Tanzid Hasan Tamim hammering an unbeaten 47 ball-67 on his\u00a0 debut T20 game. Amid the clinical performance what still was a spot of bother of their lack\u00a0 of ability to clean the tailenders wicket quickly. Zimbabwe were slumped to 41-7 after losing six wickets for five runs but\u00a0 Clive Mandane and Wellington Masakadza stitched a national record of 75-run\u00a0 for the eighth wicket to propel the side past 100. Until they came up with powerful resistance, Bangladesh looked to bundle\u00a0 Zimbabwe out for their lowest total which was 80. However, eighth wicket pair\u00a0 of a team like Zimbabwe, which failed to qualify the T20 World Cup, making 75\u00a0 runs is a worrying sign for Bangladesh. Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto was happy to win the game for the time being\u00a0 and want the players to perform at same vein in the coming matches too. &#8220;I think the last couple of days we trained really hard. The way Tanzid\u00a0 batted really helped our team and I hope he will continue his form,&#8221; Shanto\u00a0 said. &#8220;Hridoy also batted really well and showed his character on this wicket.\u00a0 Specially I&#8217;m very happy for Tanzid because he finished the innings.&#8221; This was Bangladesh&#8217;s 14th victory against Zimbabwe in 21 matches in this\u00a0 format. They lost just seven matches to the East African nation. Zimbabwe Captain Sikandar Raza however urged his senior players to come up\u00a0 with resolve as he wants to level the series by winning the tomorrow&#8217;s game. &#8220;I think it is a responsibility for everyone as much as the senior guys would\u00a0 take the blame put our hands up that we got it wrong. The beauty of this team\u00a0 is when we get it right we get it right and everybody do their part but\u00a0 unfortunately there was a lot of guys missing,&#8221; Raza said. &#8220;Majority of the senior guys on whom the batting relies on unfortunately\u00a0 could not come to the party. But, we take those harsh lessons and it&#8217;s just\u00a0 one game. We are not really proud of the fact that we don&#8217;t start our tours\u00a0 well but we will try and make things right then come back better.&#8221; Line Ups: Bangladesh: Najmul Hossain Shanto (Captain), Liton Das, Tanzid Hasan Tamim,\u00a0 Towhid Hridoy, Mahmudullah Riyad, Jaker Ali Anik, Mahedi Hasan, Rishad\u00a0 Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Parvez Hossain\u00a0 Emon, Tanvir Islam, Afif Hossain and Mohammad Saifuddin Zimbabwe: Sikandar Raza (captain), Faraz Akram, Biran Bennett, Ryan Burl,\u00a0 Johnathan Campbell, Craig Ervine, Joylord Gumbie, Luke Jongwe, Clive Madande,\u00a0 Tadiwanashe Marumani, Wellington Masakadza, Blessing Muzarabani, Ainsley\u00a0 Ndlovu, Richard Ngarava and Sean Williams.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"dtl_part\" class=\"dtl_section\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dtl_share_blk clearfix\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bangladesh will be keen to make it 2-0 when they\u00a0 take on Zimbabwe in the second T20 of the five-match series at Zahur Ahmed\u00a0 Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram tomorrow (Sunday).
