Looks like we won't get to hear from the captains just yet as the live feed has moved on. If it happens we will bring it to you here. Do come back and check out for those quotes. A simply unbelievable game made legendary by the finish. Zimbabwe got so close but it's just too far for them in the end. Bangladesh still have a chance of making it to the semis. Zimbabwe on the other hand have a tougher task to get there now. We bring down the curtains on this one for now. Remember today is a triple-header and Pakistan-Netherlands has just started. Hop tabs to catch that. For now from all of us here, it's a goodbye. Stay safe and see you soon.

Taskin Ahmed | Player of the Match: We were nervous in the middle after that last ball (no-ball). I've seen something like that for the first time. Just focusing on improving and giving my best. Back home we play on slow wickets, and here we get early movement and help off the track as well. Got a good bunch of fast bowling group, we support each other and working hard to improve ourselves. We get great support from our bowling coach (Allan Donald) and all the other support staff. We got a good group and hopefully improve more.

Coming to the chase, Taskin again made the difference as he got a couple of quick wickets and then the Fizz got the big wicket of Sikandar Raza who played an aggressive shot way too early. The game was in Bangladesh's pocket at 35/4 and soon it became 69/5 but Sean Williams was determined and brought their side into the contest along with Ryan Burl. Even though the equation was tough Williams got consecutive boundaries against Hasan Mahmud at the end of the 18th over and it was 26 off 12. Then Shakib produced a piece of magic in the field to run Williams out and the game turned again. Mosaddek was entrusted the task of bowling the final over and after so much drama, he managed to eke out a win. Shakib though got a tad lucky as he miscalculated his bowling changes and was forced to bowl himself and Mosaddek for the last two overs. Also Ryan Burl being at the other end after the first ball of the last over played a huge part in Bangladesh scraping home. Phew! I need a lie-down now. Stay tuned for the presentations...

16:36 Local Time, 06:36 GMT, 12:06 IST: You don't see such a match like this too often. What drama. What.A.Game! Simply too good. Too good to be true but it has really happened. Believe us. Another heart-stopper of a game involving Zimbabwe and even better than the last one against Pakistan. Just behind the India-Pakistan game. The last over had more action than some other games as a whole. The game looked dead when Evans holed out and 15 were needed off 4 but Ngarava struck 10 off the next 2 to bring it back. But he got out and then the real drama happened. Muzarabani seemed to have been stumped with 5 needed off 1, the players shook hands and went to their dugouts, only for the third umpire to have a look at where Nurul collected the ball - it was in front of the stumps and it was a no-ball. The players were called back to play that last ball, with it being a free-hit and license for Muzarabani to swing. But Mosaddek Hossain kept his cool and fired in a dot to end things for good this time. Bangladesh win a memorable game by 3 runs and put a big dent in Zimbabwe's chances of making it to the semi-finals.

Mosaddek Hossain to Muzarabani, no run, he can't! And Mosaddek Hossain keeps his cool. Bangladesh win. Hang on! Will they check for any other thing this time? No. Fullish and across Muzarabani who heaves and misses, Nurul takes it behind and that's it. Muzarabani closes his eyes in disappointment. Swung too hard and did not connect. This time Bangladesh well and truly win

The players are back on and can Muzarabani send this for a boundary? Four for a win and 3 needed for the Super Over! Mental scenes at the Gabba!

19.6

Mosaddek Hossain to Muzarabani, no ball, he can't and Bangladesh win. Mosaddek Hossain keeps his cool and fires this flat and angles it across Muzarabani from round the wicket, a swing and a miss, the back foot is out and Nurul does the rest. Zimbabwe fall just short. Hang on! Hang on! This is too good to be true! It's a no-ball as Nurul has taken the ball in front of the stumps. It's a no-ball. The game's still alive. The players shook hands after the stumping and went to their dugouts after that. But the third umpire has been called into action and Nurul's gloves were definitely in front of the stumps when he took it. So it's a no-ball. Now a free-hit and Zimbabwe need 4 off this delivery. Muzarabani is back on strike. Unreal scenes here at the Gabba. What scenes. Celebrations and devastation on both sides. But how cool were Erasmus and Nitin Menon who asked it to be checked. This is hard to believe stuff

Muzarabani the man walking out. Can he finish the game with one big hit and be the hero? Remember 5 off 1 and 4 will take us to a Super Over! Can he do it?

Mosaddek Hossain to Ngarava, out Stumped!! Well bowled and Ngarava is gone. Slower and tossed up outside off, Ngarava's adrenaline is pumping and he comes down the track to slog, misses and Nurul does the rest. Ngarava is devastated as he swipes the bat at thin air in frustration. What.A.Game! Now Zimbabwe need 5 off 1. Four for the Super Over. Ngarava st Nurul Hasan b Mosaddek Hossain 10(3) [4s-1 6s-1]

Mosaddek Hossain to Ngarava, THATS OUT!! Stumped!!

Mosaddek Hossain to Ngarava, SIX, Ngaravaaaaaaaaaaaaa! What a man. Fired flat and sliding down leg, Ngarava hoicks it behind square and clears the deep backward square leg fence. Was hit so well and it sails into the crowd. The Zimbabweans in the crowd go wild

Mosaddek Hossain to Ngarava, leg byes, FOUR, a twist again! Ngarava swings too early and the outside-edge runs away fine, beating short third man. Was bowled quicker on the stumps, Ngarava gets lucky

Richard Ngarava, left handed bat, comes to the crease

Mosaddek Hossain to Brad Evans, out Caught by Afif Hossain at deep mid-wicket!! Any other ground this would've sailed into the crowd. But this is humongous square of the wicket here at Gabba, the boundary and Brad Evans after connecting so well with the heave, picks out deep mid-wicket. Afif takes it reverse-cup and the game's almost done for Zimbabwe. Brad Evans c Afif Hossain b Mosaddek Hossain 2(2)

Mosaddek Hossain to Brad Evans, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Hang on! Mosaddek Hossain has a look at Ryan Burl who is moving forward. Just a look! And a warning to stay inside the crease. Oooh! Tasty

Mosaddek Hossain will just fire them in. Now comes round the wicket to Brad Evans. 15 off 5.

19.1

Mosaddek Hossain to Ryan Burl, leg byes, 1 run, fired full into the pads from round the wicket, Ryan Burl swings and misses, going down as it's rapped on the pads. They take a legbye

Mosaddek Hossain [3.0-0-27-0] is back into the attack

Much like the India-Pakistan game, Zimbabwe need 16 off the last over. Who will be Zimbabwe's Kohli? And who's bowling the last over - Mosaddek to bowl the final over! What a finish here. Shakib has a few words to Mosaddek
