If this is anything like the last series in Zimbabwe, lots of Fantasy points to be made.

Hopefully Bangladesh 5-0, Mashrafe's return to strengthen us and the Bats continue to smarten up

But the Last Series in Bangladesh all the games were very low scoring and was split 2-2.

I really want to root for Zimbabwe, but they always play Bangladesh ...

 

[Athlai]

Zimbabwe lost in their warm up. Bangladesh CBXI full of ODI and Test team rejects most of which are still in their 20s.

And Hannan Sarkar. (face)

Anyone else watching this? ZIm have Bangladesh on the ropes 96/6 from 29 overs.

 

[Jono]

Zimbabwe were very good value, at least for a back/lay option.

I guess because its a home series the bookies have been conservative, but Jeez, the gap isn't that big.

Bangladesh did beat them 4-1 in Zimbabwe back in August, so that's probably why. Was a competitive enough series though.

Irresponsible batting? From Bangladesh? Surely not...

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

Zimbabwe batting first in today's game and were going nicely before Naeem just trapped Masakadza lbw. Pitch sounds like it isn't as slow and green as the one on Tuesday as well.

 

[Nate]

Shakibbbbbbb

 

[Scaly piscine]

63* off the last 27 balls he faced.

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

Just awesome, a cut above anything else Bangladesh have ever produced. Ashraful's place is looking dicey once again (has it been anything but for the last three years?). He's still living off the back of that innings in Cardiff. Time for the chop, I think. Hopefully Alok Kapali will get recalled in the new year after the ICL cooling-off period.

 

[Athlai]

Shakib Al Awesome does it again. Razzak is also a gun.

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

Zimbabwe 98-3 at the moment, Bangladesh playing four spinners.

 

[Athlai]

Tamim's 80 looks to have secured the game for Bangladesh.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Zimbabwe 98-3 at the moment, Bangladesh playing four spinners.

Heh yea, 4.1 overs of seam in Zimbabwe's entire innings.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Its sad really to see Bangladesh still struggle to beat a non test playing nation

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

How have they struggled in the last two games? Both have been thrashings, more or less. Today's game only looked close because they threw away some wickets when the pressure had gone towards the end.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Firstly, they lost one match...they shouldnt even be losing any matches against Zimbabwe now...
Secondly, it was a pathetic batting performance...This kind of listless batting performances are expected from Bangladesh against the top sides but even against Zimbabwe?

As for the two wins, I am sorry but a 4 wicket win is not a thrashing by any means.
In the second ODI, they had the opportunity to inflict a thrashing but as Shakib himself said, his top order failed once again...
Point I am trying to make is, Bangladesh winning this series is no big deal...We know they are going to win this series and they should..but its the fact that the top order is still struggling which means that if they cant fire against Zimbabwe...it is highly unlikely they will put up much of a fight against the other top sides!

 

[DIRK-NANNES]

You're underestimating Zimbabwe. Bangladesh isn't very far ahead of them, if at all, at this very moment.
