Zimbabwe go 1-0 up in the T20Is after clinching the Test and the ODI series earlier. They will fancy wrapping it up in the next game. We sign off from this one, though. Good night and take care!

Sikandar Raza: "This was a 150-odd wicket. So for us to go above par was the positive. Fielding, eight out of ten. When it comes to the bowling, we were spot on. There were a lot of positives in all departments. It's nice that Brian is in a positive frame of mind. We gave him all the confidence he needed. Muzarabani and Ngarava have been clinical for a very long time. The World Cup was a real eye opener as to where we need to get better. Very happy [to go 1-0 up]... in Bulawayo you don't get too many opportunities to take ten wickers. The buzz is good. How do we get better [after the World Cup]? There are a few things we have identified."

Richard Ngarava is the Player of the Match: "I don't know what too say too much, to be honest. Happy that the team came out with a win. Feeling quite nice there. Everyone was prepared to defend that total. Nice to have everyone contributing. Bulawayo's pitch was quite slow off the deck. Quite happy that I managed to adjust there. It was quite nice everyone chipped in. Really nice."

Towhid Hridoy: "We need to work on some things. These are better conditions. Very good wicket to bat on. We were in very good shape. As a batting unit, we didn't bat well. Nahid is a very good bowler, and we know his ability very well. When we are chasing 170-180, we need a big partnership or two at the top."

Time for the presentations

4pm Yet another convincing performance by Zimbabwe. They have humbled Bangladesh in almost all games, including this one, which they've clinched by a good margin. Once again, their fast bowlers put them on top after Bennett and Evans propelled Zimbabwe to 170. Muzarabani, Ngarava and co continue to be the difference between the sides. Hang around for the presentations.

Muzarabani to Nahid Rana, OUT, bowled him!! The off stump comes off. Muzarabani is pumped up. Zimbabwe win by 32 runs. A yorker on off, and that's too good for Nahid. The length was too full for his attempted swing of the bat, and he was nowhere close to getting a touch

Muzarabani to Nasum Ahmed, OUT, taken after the ball is sent up a hundred miles in the air. The man came in from deep square leg, and kept waiting and waiting, before the ball dipped on to him. Muzarabani bowled it short, and Nasum went for the pull after making room. But he got a top edge, and sent the ball way up

Nasum Ahmed c Musekiwa b Muzarabani 2 (6m 3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 66.66
