ZIM VS BAN - 2nd ODI, Bangladesh tour of Zimbabwe, 2022

Two successful run chases and Zimbabwe have sealed the series in style with Sikandar Raza being the hero in both the matches. Can the hosts inflict a 3-0 series whitewash? Join us on Wednesday for the third and the final ODI. Until then, goodbye!

Regis Chakabva: Better late than never (on registering his maiden ton). It (series win) is massive, we've been playing some good cricket. We were itching to play good cricket. To win the series, it's really nice. We've been trying to play positive cricket. The coaches asked me to take it deep and I batted positively. We have to play good cricket again, we'll be looking to win (the final ODI).

Tamim Iqbal: The difference is four hundreds for them and 0 for us. We put a decent total. We got a good start but no one continued. The wicket was good from the beginning. It wasn't easy against the spinners. All credit to Zimbabwe, they were the better team this series. We have to pull up our socks. We haven't played our best cricket and that's why we are in this position.

Sikandar Raza | Player of the Match: Have put in a lot of efforts. To be able to achieve that, I'm also running out of words. Humbling feeling, don't know what to say. Thought the bowlers did an exceptional job. To be on this journey where we're winning and achieving something is great. You have a hundred from me, a hundred from Regis, the cameo from Tony tells the depth of the squad. To have a winning changing room for the youngsters to enjoy.

17:24 Local Time, 15:24 GMT, 20:54 IST: Incredible scenes here at the Harare Sports Club as Zimbabwe register their first ODI series win over Bangladesh since 2013. Chasing for the second time in as many games, the hosts got off to another poor start. Hasan Mahmud struck twice with the new ball and even the spinners were quick to open their account as Zimbabwe lost their top four inside 15 overs with just 49 runs on the board. The asking rate was approaching 7 RPO. That's when Regis Chakabva - who opened in the first ODI - walked in at six and joined hands with the in-form batter - Sikandar Raza. The latter, coming off a match-winning ton, took his time to get his eye in while the former was quick to get off the blocks. It was a masterclass from the two Zimbabwe batters. There were hardly any quiet overs - they kept rotating the strike, hit boundaries at regular intervals and ensured that the required rate was always under check. Raza got a reprieve on 42 when Mehidy Hasan Miraz missed a run-out chance by breaking the stumps with the wrong hand. And that turned out to be a costly miss. Both Raza and Chakabva notched up their respective centuries and stitched a 201-run partnership off just 169 deliveries. When the skipper fell to Miraz, Zimbabwe still needed 41 more runs off 41 deliveries. Munyonga swung and missed on multiple occasions but the debutant took special liking to Shoriful by hitting 4, 6, 6 and then following it by hitting the winning runs. Raza stayed unbeaten once again as the home team hunted down the total with 15 balls to spare.

Afif Hossain to Tony Munyonga, FOUR, the debutant finishes with a boundary! Down on one leg and he sweeps it over backward square leg. Zimbabwe win by 5 wickets and seal the series with a game to go! A pumped up Raza roars in delight before hugging Munyonga. The Harare crowd are cock-a-hoop!

Afif Hossain to Raza, 1 run, leg-lined, swept to short fine leg

Just 5 runs needed now..

Afif Hossain to Tony Munyonga, 1 run, skips down the track and knocks this flat ball down to long-on

Afif Hossain, right-arm off break, comes into the attack

Shoriful Islam to Tony Munyonga, 1 run, put down! Very full delivery, Tony Munyonga slices it to the right of backward point where the fielder dives and drops...

Shoriful Islam to Tony Munyonga, SIX, Tony Munyonga seems to be in a hurry! Shoriful Islam bowls length, Munyonga is down on one leg to clobber over deep mid-wicket. He has a bright smile on his face!

Shoriful Islam to Tony Munyonga, SIX, wow! That's a shot hit with authority. Tony Munyonga clears his front leg, waits for this short ball and pummels it over cow corner with a ferocious pull shot

Shoriful Islam to Tony Munyonga, FOUR, that's a good shot from Tony Munyonga! Short of a good length delivery, the debutant short-arm-jabs the pull through mid-wicket and hits it in the gap

Shoriful Islam to Tony Munyonga, 2 runs, dropped! Slower ball down leg, Munyonga glances uppishly. Taskin moves to his left from short fine leg and sticks his left hand out. Fails to cling onto it and long leg does well to cut it off

Shoriful Islam to Tony Munyonga, no run, off-speed ball from a short of length, Munyonga misses the pull

Shoriful Islam [8.0-0-58-0] is back into the attack

Equation: 25 runs | 24 balls.

Taskin Ahmed to Tony Munyonga, 1 run, in the blockhole again, Munyonga squeezes it down to long-on

Taskin Ahmed to Raza, 1 run, tails in sharply does this yorker, Raza brings his bat down in time and manages to get an inside edge that eludes the leg-stump and rolls to short fine leg. A direct hit at the keeper's end would have probably been curtains for Munyonga...
