BAN VS ZIM T20I

That is it from this game then! The 4th T20I will now be played on the 10th of this month and the action shifts to Dhaka. That game begins at 1730 IST (1200 GMT). Till then, goodbye and take care.

Najmul Hossain Shanto says the boys showed a lot of character and he is very happy with how Towhid Hridoy and Jaker Ali batted. Mentions they need to execute their plans a lot better with the ball towards the end. Endby saying they are looking forward for the next game.

Towhid Hridoy, MAN OF THE MATCH, says he wanted to execute his plan and he did manage to do so. Adds he is happy with his knock.

Sikandar Raza says the top five has to do better. Admits the batting has to do better, they are working hard but they need to do better. States Blessing Muzarabani was really good and Richard Ngarava was injured and he could have made a difference. Adds the youngsters will learn, it is not easy but they will learn. Ends by saying, the senior players need to step up and do better.

Bangladesh were really good with the ball for most parts! It was a combined effort from the bowlers! The likes of Tanvir Islam, Tanzim Hasan Sakib and Taskin Ahmed kept it quiet. Rishad Hossain and Mohammad Saifuddin did go for runs but they managed to pick five wickets between the two. Yet another performance which Shanto will be happy with and they have now sealed the series with two games to go.

Yet another fighting effort from the visitors but they still managed to end up on the losing side. Not by much but still, on the losing side and they have lost the series as well. Yet again one would say, a better effort from the top order and the result could have been different. The likes of Ervine, Joylord Gumbie and Sikandar Raza failed to make an impact. It was the likes of Tadiwanashe Marumani, Brian Bennett and Faraz Akram who played decent innings but it was not enough. Credit to the three though, they kept Zimbabwe in the game. Especially Faraz Akram who revived hopes when it was all gone. He got it down till the last over but could not pull off a miracle.

Two to end! This is banged in short and on middle, this is pulled wide of deep mid-wicket for two. BANGLADESH WIN BY 9 RUNS!

Just the one! Fuller and on middle, this is hit down to long on for one.

Dot ball! Now Mohammad Saifuddin just needs to bowl two legal deliveries and his side can't lose. Shorter and slower. Outside off. Blessing Muzarabani swings but misses.

FOUR MORE! Blessing Muzarabani turning it on here. 13 needed now in 3. On middle, length, this is smashed past the long on fielder and it races away. Top stuff.

FOUR! Still in it are Zimbabwe. A full toss on off, this is hit down to the long off fence. 17 needed in 4.

OUT! TIMBER! That is way too good! Fuller and around off, Wellington Masakadza looks to whip it but gets an inside edge onto the stumps.

Top stuff! It remains 21 but now that is what is needed in 6. Another slower one. Follows the batter yet again as he makes room. Faraz swings but misses again.

Swing and a miss! Follows the batter as he makes room. Faraz swings but misses. Can he end the over well? 21 needed in 7.

Two more! They need boundaries. Singles and doubles won't do it. He brings out the paddle scoop. This is too full and hence, it goes off the toe-end towards short fine leg. Two taken.

23 needed in 9 then! Shorter and on middle, this is pulled through mid-wicket for one.

WIDE! This will help! Down the leg side. Wellington Masakadza looks to flick but misses. Wided.
