The five-run win at Harare, yesterday has earned the hosts an inconvertible 3-0 lead in the five-ODI series. This is http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zimbabwe-c3045’s first One Day series win over a Test playing side in more than five years.
Zimbabwe, after being put in to bat, set a target of 251 runs to win for Bangladesh. The tourists in reply, could score only 245 runs before the whole team was bundled out on the second ball of the final over. The tourists lost their last five wickets
for just 16 runs. The lower order debacle ruined Mushfiqur Rahim’s courageous century as well.
Butcher, who was eying a 5-0 whitewash against the Bengali Tigers, said that though the side has won a Test and three One Day Internationals, there were still areas of improvement which they will address in the upcoming games.
The next One Day International of the series will be played at Bulawayo on Friday, August 19.
