Bangladesh meet Zimbabwe in the 2nd T20I today in Chattogram. The hosts had won the tournament by 8 wickets to take 1-0 lead in the five-match series. Bangladesh had won the toss and invited Zimbabwe to bat first. Zimbabwe were bowled out for 124 in 20 overs with only Clive Madande showing up in the top 7 of the batting lineup, scoring 43 off 39 balls. Wellington Masakadza hit a 38-ball 34 to ensure Zimbabwe reached a fighting total at the end of the 20 overs.
Tanzid Hasan smashed a 47-ball 67 as Bangladesh chased down the target in just 15.2 overs with eight wickets in hand. Litton Das could not do much with the bat while captain Najmul Hossain Shanto scored 21 off 24 balls and Towhid Hridoy hit 33 off 18 balls.
The good news for Bangladesh is their ace bowler Mustafizur Rahman is back for them. Mustafizur was busy in IPL 2024 and was relieved only in early May. He has already joined the team and should play the 2nd T20I vs Zimbabwe. For Zimbabwe to do well, their captain Sikandar Raza must step up. He scored a golden duck in the first match. Sean Williams also scored a golden duck. Taskin Ahmed and Saifuddin picked up 3 wickets each while Mahedi Hasan scalped two wickets.
