Bangladesh have come back strongly after losing the first game and set it up nicely for the series decider on Tuesday. Do join us for that game. Until then, goodbye and stay safe..

Nurul Hassan, Bangladesh captain: Great performance from the boys. The bowlers did really well especially Mosaddek and then Litton set it up with the bat. I would have bowled first if I had won the toss. We will go ahead and do our best in the last game.

Regis Chakabva,Stand-in Zimbabwe skipper: We got ourselves in trouble early on and credit to Raza and Burl for getting us back into the game, but it wasn't enough. They bowled in good areas and put us under pressure. We will look to bounce back in the last game. Raza has been brilliant in the recent past and that's what the coaches are asking us to do, step up when put under pressure. He (Ervine) is fine and hopefully will be fit for the final game.

Mosaddek Hossain, Player of the Match: I was feeling fantastic. It was planned (to start with spin) from before and the captain used the spinners well in the powerplay.

16:15 Local Time, 14:15 GMT, 19:45 IST: The total was never going to challenge Bangladesh and the only way for Zimbabwe was to pick early wickets, but Litton Das ensured that didn't happen as he blazed away in the powerplay. The right-handed opener was in the mood to finish it early and reached his fifty off just 30 balls. He departed soon after and was followed by Anamul Haque, Zimbabwe had a glimmer of hope at that point, but since the asking rate was below 6 rpo, Afif Hossain and Shanto could take their time and ensure Bangladesh chase it down comfortably. Early on, Mosaddek Hossain picked up a 5-fer and dismantled Zimbabwe's top order, but the Raza-Burl partnership got them to a respectable total. Presentations coming up..
