Saturday, 11 May 2024


Luke Jongwe claimed 3-20 as Zimbabwe bowled out Bangladesh for 143 runs on their penultimate ball in Friday's fourth Twenty20 internatioal at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, reports AFP.
Sent in to bat after Zimbabwe won the toss, Bangladesh got off to a flying start when openers Tanzid Hasan Tamim and Soumya Sarkar made a 101-run stand for the first wicket.
Jongwe dismissed Tanzid for 52 off 37 balls to break the opening partnership and then Soumya fell in the same over for 41.
The hosts lost their remaining eight wickets for just 35 runs to be bowled out for the first time in the series.
Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza sent back Towhid Hridoy for 12 before Brian Bennett struck twice in the same over, dismissing returning all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan for one in his first T20 match in nearly a year.
Bennett then rattled the stumps of captain Najmul Hossain for two five balls later.
Richard Ngarava joined in the act to remove Jaker Ali (six) and Tanzim Hasan Sakib (six).
Bangladesh have already clinched the series after sweeping the first three matches.
Zimbabwe wrap up their tour with the fifth and final match of the series in Dhaka on Sunday.
