Thanks to Sean Williams
Zimbabwe could level the three-match ODI series 1-1 after beating the touring
nation by six wickets with 13 balls left at hand.
When Zimbabwe was struggling
at 94 for 3, Sean Williams came to bat. His career-best unbeaten 75-ball 78
innings which includes six fours and a six led his team to victory and keep
their hope alive of sealing the series victory.
Williams was supported by Malcolm
Waller who played a 39 runs innings and remained not out. They both put on 86
runs for the fifth wicket partnership.
Zimbabwe captain, Brendan Taylor, played a passionate
innings of 37, while opener Vusi Sibanda scored 49 runs.
For Bangladesh, Shafiul Islam took two wickets and other two
wickets were taken by Ziaur Rahman and Shakib Al Hasan.
Winning the toss, the host
nation invited Bangladesh to bat first. Due to the failure of top order
batsmen, Bangladesh could not make a tough chasing score. Losing nine
wickets they scored 252 runs.
It could be possible
because of Abdur Razzak’s aggressive 22-ball 53 runs innings in which he hit
five sixes and four boundaries. Nasir Hossain and Shakib Al Hasan respectively
scored 36 and 34 runs.
Now, the third ODI match
is the series deciding match for both of them. Both teams will have no option
but win the final ODI match to ensure the series victory.
