BAN beat ZIM by 39 runs | Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe, Highlights And Cricket Score 4th T20 Match - Commentary

Right! So 176 to chase for Zimbabwe to stay alive in the series. Can they do that? Stay tuned for their reply.

Zimbabwe will be a touch disappointed with the score but if you look at the last 5 overs, just 41 runs were conceded. So that is a tribute to their death bowling, especially with the dew around. Kyle Jarvis was the pick of the bowlers while Sean Williams did his best in the middle overs. Do not forget the efforts of Mutombodzi as well.

After being put in to bat, Liton Das went berserk from the word go. Bangladesh raced to 55 in the Powerplay but once he went, the run rate started to dip. But the brothers-in-law, Mahmudullah and Rahim, staged a good recovery with a 78-run stand for the 4th wicket. Mahmudullah stayed till the final over and ensured that the score crosses 170.

175. Well, on any ground, this should be more than enough. But on this one, with plenty of dew, one cannot say. The average first innings total at this ground in the first innings is 161, so they have got around 14 above par.

Kyle Jarvis to Mahmudullah. OUT! Caught in the deep. Not a no ball. A high full toss, around off, Mahmudullah heaves it over the leg side. It is a simple catch for Sean Williams at deep square leg. But Mahmudullah is not going. He wants the umpires to check whether it is a no ball. He is sharing a few words with Kyle Jarvis who is not impressed. Here come the replays which show that the ball is legal. End of Mahmudullah's innings.

Luckily for the batsman the ball drops just short of the fielder. Mahmudullah's heart might have come in his mouth. A single taken.

The bowler asks the umpire to wipe the dew on the ball. It is very humid and the fielders are struggling with the conditions. If this is the case now, what will be the scenario come the second? The humidity is 81 percent.

Skipper Shakib Al Hasan arrives to a huge ovation from the capacity crowd.

Kyle Jarvis to Najmul Hossain Shanto. OUT! Debutant departs cheaply! The cutter at 114 kph from Jarvis turns out to be too good for Shanto. The line of the delivery is on the leg stump, Najmul tries flicking it off his pads but closes the face of his bat early as the ball arrives slowly after landing. The leading edge is induced and Jarvis runs forward a bit to accept the simplest of catches.

Chris Mpofu to Najmul Hossain Shanto. Swing and a miss! Called a wide! Plenty of width outside off, Shanto throws his bat at it but fails to make any connection. Liton walks up to his partner and has a quiet word. Maybe, telling him to settle down and leave the hitting part to him.

Mpofu switches to 'round the wicket for the left-hander...

Pitch report - It's very humid out there and the conditions will be taxing on the players. As far as the pitch goes, it has a good covering of green grass and the ball will come on nicely to the bat. Some parts have dry grass with a lot of cracks as well. 166 is the average first inning score here. Dew can be a factor later on.
