- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.6 Dragged on! Pace off low full toss ball on the fourth stump channel, plays the front foot drive stroke early and inside edges onto the stumps. A very unlucky dismissal for Bennett, Saifuddin finds the breakthrough! 77/21.5 Mahedi gets his man this time! Length ball hung up in the air outside off, a wee bit of turn and Marumani clears his front leg to swat it down, plays the square cut stroke half-heartedly and slices it to the extra cover fielder at the edge of the circle. 6/119.4 Myers departs! Full and straight pace on ball, hoicks it with the inside part of the bat to deep midwicket and calls for the second run. An impossible attempt, as Rishad sprints towards the ball from the deep area, sends in a perfect throw to the keeper's end and Myers didn't even cross midway at that time. Sacrificed his wicket for the greater good of the team. 140/714.5 Caught at deep midwicket! Slower through the air ball pitching outside and turning away, plays the slog sweep and mistimes the stroke towards midwicket area. Yasir moves to his left side and pouches it comfortably. 107/317.4 Miscues it to long on! Length ball pitching well outside off, Burl attempts to send it downtown and doesn't get quite hold of it, mistiming it high in the air to long on. Hridoy comes around, settles underneath and completes the catch. 129/418.2 back of a length ball outside off, flays it wide of the backward point fielder, gets a hand to it and parries it towards deep cover. Rishad rushes in and picks it up cleanly, sends a bullet throw at the keeper's end and Emon does the rest. Evans puts in a desperate dive but he is well short of his crease there. 131/518.3 Edged through to the keeper! Short of a length ball angling away outside off, tries to play it square uppishly, plays the pace off ball away from the body and feathers an outside edge to the keeper behind the stumps 131/6Extras4 (b 1, lb 1, w 2)TOTAL143/7 (20 Overs, RR: 7.15)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (Tadiwanashe Marumani, 1.5 ov), 2-77 (Brian Bennett, 10.6 ov), 3-107 (Sikandar Raza, 14.5 ov), 4-129 (Ryan Burl, 17.4 ov), 5-131 (Brad Evans, 18.2 ov), 6-131 (Clive Madande, 18.3 ov), 7-140 (Dion Myers, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.5 Saif throws his wicket away! Short pitched ball angling away outside off, plays the swivel pull shot away from the body and gets the leading edge to the square leg area. Muzarabani comes around from short fine leg and gobbles it up. 4/18.4 Slower through the air ball on the stumps, Emon steps out of the crease and attempts to play a big shot across the line, connects the inside part of the bat and heaves it to long on. Evans rushes forward and dives in to take a spectacular catch, holds on to it and keeps his balance as he hits the ground. 59/215.6 Raza takes a blinder! Tossed up a fuller length ball and Hridoy skips out of the crease to whack it towards long off, struck it straight and hard to Raza. The bowler times his jump to perfection, and the ball sticks firmly in his safe palms. The skipper isn't happy at all; it's a silent celebration, and he looks absolutely furious and rightly so. 122/318.3 Edged and taken by Marumani! Back of a length ball angling in from outside off, clears the front leg and tries to play over the covers, gets the thickish outside edge and Marumani takes a flying catch diving to his right side. 137/419.2 Bowled'em! Low full toss ball nips back in just a wee bit and deceives the batter. Mosaddek attempts to flay it with an invisible foot movement, plays away from the body and misses the juicy full toss ball, landing on the off stump and Zimbabwe are pumped up! It's a full house in Bulawayo, and you can hear the absolute joy erupting from the stands! 140/519.3 Clips it in the air and Burl gobbles it up! It's all happening out there now folks! Pace off fuller length ball wide outside off, looks like a wobble seam delivery to me. Saifuddin shuffles across and gets inside the line of the ball, tries to play the glory shot over the midwicket area, mistimes it and sends it flying straight to deep midwicket for a regulation catch to Burl. 140/6Extras11 (lb 3, w 8)TOTAL144/6 (19.4 Overs, RR: 7.32)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Saif Hassan, 0.5 ov), 2-59 (Parvez Hossain Emon, 8.4 ov), 3-122 (Towhid Hridoy, 15.6 ov), 4-137 (Yasir Ali, 18.3 ov), 5-140 (Mosaddek Hossain, 19.2 ov), 6-140 (Mohammad Saifuddin, 19.3 ov)
