The Bangladesh players, fresh from their 49-run win in the second ODI, had a much needed day's rest in Bulawayo Wednesday.
With a two-day gap before the third match the cricketers took this opportunity to get over their tiredness, according to Tigercricket.com.
"There was swimming, recovery and massage today (Wednesday). The boys stayed at the hotel and rested. They have been playing non-stop; so this was a welcome break. Some of the boys have slight niggles and they had treatment," informed Team Operations Manager Shafique-ul-Haque Heera.
The Tigers will return to training this (Thursday) afternoon to prepare for the series deciding 3rd ODI Friday.
Captain Shakib Al Hasan scored a dazzling 64-ball 104, the fastest century by a Bangladeshi and the eighth quickest in ODI history, and took two wickets to star in the Bangladesh victory. The world's number one all-rounder was determined to maintain the momentum.
"I believe we've been successful so far because we could keep our concentration on the entire match. Also, we never allowed pressure to get to us. The boys are playing according to the game plan and I attribute the results to team effort. The series is still open and that's why we just need to keep our focus and do our job in the middle," said Shakib.
Bangladesh have now won seven ODIs on the trot with Shakib himself on a five-match unbeaten streak as captain.
