	Zimbabwe innings (50 overs maximum)		R	B	4s	6s	SR
	V Sibanda	b Dolar Mahmud	2	8	0	0	25.00
	1.5 bizzare, really bizzarre, Sibanda's embarrassed himself here! Left his leg stump alone, huge shuffle towards middle and it's pitched up on leg with a hint of inward movement, he offers no shot thinking it'll slide down the leg side but hears the death rattle, the leg stump's out of the ground and Sibanda's inclusion has failed to deliver 5/1
	H Masakadza	run out (†Mushfiqur Rahim/Mohammad Ashraful)	25	24	4	0	104.16
	8.2 from Syed Rasel, run out, Masakadza's fun stops here, Rasel changes the pace and Masakadza gets forward and angles it down to short third man, no realistic chance of a single but the batsman sets off, there's confusion in the calling and he turns around and makes a desperate attempt to make his ground, Ashraful fires the throw to Mushfiqur and the third umpire confirms the run out 43/3
	CK Coventry	c †Mushfiqur Rahim b Dolar Mahmud	0	7	0	0	0.00
	3.3 Coventry's gone! The swing's doing the trick for Mahmud, pitched up outside off, had frustrated Coventry so far and the batsman went for flowing drive through mid-off, it moved away to kiss the outside edge and Mushfiqur hurled himself to his right to snap a sharp one, the record-holder's been dismissed for a duck 9/2
	MN Waller	b Dolar Mahmud	10	12	1	0	83.33
	9.1 timber! Superb delivery, the inswinger this time. Pitched on a good length outside off and Waller reached forward to defend it into the off side, it darted back in to beat him through the gate and crash into the stumps, Zimbabwe are sliding here 47/4
	SC Williams	lbw b Syed Rasel	12	13	2	0	92.30
	12.6 gone! Rasel's struck, Williams goes, the inswinger, short of a good length outside off and cut back in sharply, Williams rocked back to punch it towards mid-on but was done in by the movement, was rapped on the pads in front of the off stump, the umpire had no hesitation and he's made the right call 65/5
	E Chigumbura	lbw b Dolar Mahmud	12	18	2	0	66.66
	13.4 Dolar gets his fourth! Angling in towards middle from slightly wide of the crease, came half-forward and tried to close the face with bat perilously close to his pads to play it into the leg side, missed and was struck plumb in front 69/6
	BRM Taylor†	lbw b Mehrab Hossain jnr	61	86	3	1	70.93
	40.6 bowled flat from round the wicket, angled it in towards off stump and it spun away, Taylor went for the sweep, looking to play it through square leg but missed, was rapped on the pads and was given. Replays show it would have missed off, and he was struck outside the line, poor call 176/8
	P Utseya*	b Mahmudullah	21	39	3	0	53.84
	27.6 bowled'im! Poor shot, that. Tossed up, lands on a good length on middle and spins in sharply towards leg, goes for the pull when the shot wasn't really on, misses and is bowled. 123/7
	RW Price	lbw b Syed Rasel	46	58	4	1	79.31
	46.4 moved well across to scoop it over short fine again but was rapped on the pads, Sahiba gave him out but he actually wasn't as it struck him outside the line and would have missed off anyway, poor decision again 209/10
	AG Cremer	st †Mushfiqur Rahim b Naeem Islam	10	11	1	0	90.90
	45.3 stumped, comes round the wicket, fires it short outside off as he sees Cremer charging down, tries to slap it through cover, misses and Mushfiqur takes off the bails to find him well short 203/9
	EC Rainsford	not out	1	4	0	0	25.00

	44.4 he misses out on a century! stumped, tossed it up outside off, Mushfiqur wanted to get it over and done with, charged out of his crease to loft it over the bowler's head, it turned away and Coventry clipped the bails to find him agonizingly short of a maiden ODI ton 199/5
	Mohammad Ashraful	c Sibanda b Chigumbura	4	7	0	0	57.14
	10.4 what a catch! An absolute stunner, bowled short and wide, goes for the cut, connects well but finds Sibanda at point who times his jump to perfection and plucks it out of thin air one-handed, tumbles but holds on, two down now 48/2

	36.2 Shakib's holed out! Cremer gave it some air, it was pitched up outside off, Shakib came down the track and tried to clear long-on, got quite a bit of bat on it but didn't get the desired elevation, landed safe in the palms of Masakadza in the deep 169/4

	15.2 that was totally unnecessary from Masakadza! Tossed it up outside off, came down the track, struck it well but didn't get the desired elevation or distance, straight down long-on's throat where Raqibul takes a good low catch 87/2

	46.4 Chigumbura has holed out! When he connected it, it seemed he would clear the ropes easily but ended up getting more elevation than distance, tried to clear long-on but found Naeem who didn't have to move much to pouch that 282/6

Zimbabwe 323/7 (50 ov)

Bangladesh 8/2 (1.3 ov)

Bangladesh won the toss and elected to field

• Bangladesh in Zimbabwe ODI Series - 3rd ODI
• ODI no. 2872 | 2009 season
• Played at Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo
• 14 August 2009 (50-over match)

	Zimbabwe innings (50 overs maximum)		R	B	4s	6s	SR
	MA Vermeulen	c Mahmudullah b Mahbubul Alam	11	18	2	0	61.11
	3.6 What a soft dismissal. Vermeulen, who was looking so good, is gone. It was full and slipping to the legs, it could have been on driven anywhere but Vermeulen flicked it straight to short midwicket. 17/2
	V Sibanda	c †Mushfiqur Rahim b Mahbubul Alam	0	2	0	0	0.00
	1.4 Wow! what a delivery. Don't blame Sibanda for edging it. It curved away late from a good length and clipped the outer edge as Sibanda pushed at it; he had to play at it. It did just enough to get the edge. There is no use getting dramatic big movement and missing the bat. Perfect delivery. 6/1
	H Masakadza	b Syed Rasel	102	112	4	2	91.07
	38.6 Rasel cleans him up with a slower one. His special- the off cutter. Masakadza shaped for the big slog across the line but was beaten by the lack of pace. Fine innings comes to an end. A very good partnership with Taylor. 202/4
	CK Coventry	run out (Mehrab Hossain jnr/†Mushfiqur Rahim)	22	20	3	1	110.00
	11.2 from Enamul Haque jnr, What a mess. What terrible misunderstanding between the two. It was flicked past square leg and the fielder (Mehrab) ran in from deep square leg. Clearly they had to stop at a single as they never seemed sure of the second. But they turned for the second run, hesitated mid-way, tried to carry on forward but too late folks. The throw was accurate and Rahim whips off the bails in glee. Gone! 60/3
	BRM Taylor†	run out (Raqibul Hasan/†Mushfiqur Rahim)	94	103	2	1	91.26
	47.2 from Shakib Al Hasan, Taylor is run out, going for the second run. It was pushed towards long-off and Chigumbura pushed for the second run. Taylor rushed across and even tried to dive into the crease but the throw was accurate and fast and Rahim did the rest. A very fine knock from Taylor comes to an end. 292/5
	E Chigumbura	not out	61	33	3	5	184.84
	S Matsikenyeri	c Tamim Iqbal b Shakib Al Hasan	23	9	0	2	255.55
	49.2 And he is gone now. He tries to slog sweep from outside off stump but gets a leading edge and presents a dolly to short third-man fielder. Handy little innings, though. 319/6
	MN Waller	c Mehrab Hossain jnr b Shakib Al Hasan	2	2	0	0	100.00
	49.5 Shakib gets one more wicket. Another slog sweep attempted, another edge, and it's caught at midwicket 322/7

	38.6 to Masakadza, Rasel cleans him up with a slower one. His special- the off cutter. Masakadza shaped for the big slog across the line but was beaten by the lack of pace. Fine innings comes to an end. A very good partnership with Taylor. 202/4
	Mahbubul Alam	9	1	84	2	9.33	(2w)
	1.4 to Sibanda, Wow! what a delivery. Don't blame Sibanda for edging it. It curved away late from a good length and clipped the outer edge as Sibanda pushed at it; he had to play at it. It did just enough to get the edge. There is no use getting dramatic big movement and missing the bat. Perfect delivery. 6/1 3.6 to Vermeulen, What a soft dismissal. Vermeulen, who was looking so good, is gone. It was full and slipping to the legs, it could have been on driven anywhere but Vermeulen flicked it straight to short midwicket. 17/2
	Shakib Al Hasan	10	0	65	2	6.50
	49.2 to Matsikenyeri, And he is gone now. He tries to slog sweep from outside off stump but gets a leading edge and presents a dolly to short third-man fielder. Handy little innings, though. 319/6 49.5 to Waller, Shakib gets one more wicket. Another slog sweep attempted, another edge, and it's caught at midwicket 322/7

	0.1 Mupariwa has struck gold first ball. It was a lovely curving delivery around the off stump, Tamim stabbed it, without moving his feet, straight to first slip. Mupariwa celebrates as if he is rocking a baby. Memories of Bebeto, Romario from the World Cup football. Here we go. What a start. 0/1
	Naeem Islam	b Chigumbura	4	3	1	0	133.33
	1.3 Two down now! What a start for Zimbabwe. Naeem, the pinch hitter, backed outside leg stump and went for the good-old slog - he pulled off similar shots in the first ODI - but missed it completely. The stump has gone for a walk. 8/2

	Bangladesh innings (50 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
	Tamim Iqbal	run out (†Taylor)	79	124	105	5	1	75.23
	32.6 from Chigumbura, run-out, slower one down the leg side, Tamim tries to work it fine but doesn't make contact, the keeper fumbles and Tamim calls for the single but is sent back by Shakib, the hesitation gives Taylor time to recover, collect and throw down the stumps at the striker's end to find Tamim miles short of his ground 155/3
	Junaid Siddique	run out (Chibhabha/†Taylor)	27	67	41	3	0	65.85
	15.1 from Utseya, run-out, Just as I said that a wicket has fallen. Pushed off the front foot to midwicket or just wide of him, Junaid called for a single but was sent back after he had covered enough ground for Chibhabha to hurl a strong throw to the wicketkeeper Taylor and take down the stumps in time, a crucial wicket, against the run of play 71/1
	Mohammad Ashraful	lbw b Chibhabha	22	31	33	1	0	66.66
	25.3 slower this time and gets it to cut back in from a good length outside off, Ashraful is only half-forward and tries to defend it lethargically, makes no contact, plays inside the line and is struck plumb in front of middle and leg 110/2
	Shakib Al Hasan*	run out (Williams/†Taylor/Utseya)	104	92	64	9	4	162.50
	46.1 Utseya to Mushfiqur Rahim, run-out, tosses it up outside off, Mushfiqur slices it behind point and takes two easily but Shakib is intent to taking three and charges down the pitch but there's no response from his partner who is ball-watching, the throw gets to the keeper who rolls the ball down to the bowler, he takes off the bails to find the Bangladesh captain well short of his ground 293/6
	Raqibul Hasan	c Coventry b Chigumbura	35	45	28	5	0	125.00
	42.3 finally, slower one bowled full outside off, makes room to clear mid-off but is unable to do so as Coventry, right at the circle, times his jump well to pluck it 251/4
	Naeem Islam	c Chibhabha b Chigumbura	0	1	1	0	0	0.00
	42.4 Chibhabha, you beauty! They've been embarrassed by those two dropped chances but this one was simply superb, restoring some lost pride, Short on the off and Naeem Islam upper-cut that in the direction of third man, Chibhabha, the fielder there, ran yards to his left and dived full length to hold on to an excellent low catch 251/5
	Mushfiqur Rahim†	not out	23	31	18	2	0	127.77
	Mahmudullah	run out (Rainsford)	6	4	4	1	0	150.00
	47.6 Rainsford to Mushfiqur Rahim, another run-out, the fourth of the innings, it's full and wide and Mushfiqur smashes it back towards Rainsford who palms it back onto the stumps at the non-striker's end to find Mahmudullah, who's backed up too far, short of his ground 310/7
	Enamul Haque jnr	b Chigumbura	5	4	6	0	0	83.33
	49.4 slower offcutter, completey deceives Enamul who is too early into the attempted pull, is beaten through the gate and the ball crashes into middle and off 319/8

	MA Vermeulen	lbw b Syed Rasel	16	16	14	3	0	114.28
	4.3 he's given him! Bowled on a length, appeared to pitch on leg and angle in towards middle, Vermeulen went for the sweep, missed and was struck in line with middle and off. The umpire raised his finger fairly quickly. Replays indicate the ball landed just marginally outside leg, a close call, that. 28/1
	H Masakadza	b Syed Rasel	13	26	17	1	0	76.47
	6.3 bowled'im! Slower one on middle and off, Masakadza bends low to swing across the line in an attempt to clear midwicket, gets an inside edge straight into the stumps, the promising start has been laid to rest 33/2
	CK Coventry	c Naeem Islam b Mahmudullah	61	82	64	2	3	95.31
	25.2 another promising stand comes to an end, held back the length, dropped it short, Coventry had made his mind up, came down the track and pulled it hard, got more elevation than distance and Naeem at deep midwicket held his nerve to take that comfortably just inches inside the ropes 137/5
	CJ Chibhabha	c Junaid Siddique b Nazmul Hossain	8	22	14	1	0	57.14
	11.4 he's gone now! The slower one coming from the back of the hand, low full toss outside off, just pushes it through the line without and lobs it straight to Junaid Siddique placed perfectly at extra cover 62/3
	BRM Taylor†	c & b Enamul Haque jnr	9	19	16	0	0	56.25
	16.5 tame dismissal, that! Short of a good length on middle and off, the ball appears to stop on him just a little, not much turn there, Taylor is already committed to pushing it through the line off the front foot, lobs it straight back to the bowler who completes a good catch moving to his right 91/4
	SC Williams	c Mahmudullah b Enamul Haque jnr	75	76	71	6	0	105.63
	38.5 Williams goes! Much slower through the air, varied his pace there and sucked him into the big shot with a tossed-up delivery, landed full on middle and leg, Willaims came down the track, was done in by the pace and lofted it really high, still he managed to time it reasonable well but not well enough as Mahmudullah ran a couple of yards to his left at long-on to take a well-judged catch just inside the ropes 215/6
	S Matsikenyeri	c & b Shakib Al Hasan	39	73	51	1	0	76.47
	43.4 Shakib strikes! Fired it full on middle, Matsikenyeri struck it hard but straight back to the bowler, didn't get the desired elevation and Shakib reacted well to his right to pouch a sharp one 256/8
	P Utseya*	c †Mushfiqur Rahim b Nazmul Hossain	4	2	2	1	0	200.00
	39.2 gone! Those two boundaries provided just a momentary high, closer to the off stump and Utseya attempts an identical shot but doesn't get it past the keeper this time, straight to Mushfiqur who takes a low catch, the slide is on 223/7
	E Chigumbura	run out (Raqibul Hasan)	31	32	20	0	3	155.00
	46.1 from Syed Rasel, run-out, short on middle, pulled away towards deep midwicket, gets to the fielder on the bounce, Raqibul fires in a strong throw to the striker's end as Chigumbura attempts the second, appears to be a direct hit from the deep, Mushfiqur's hands are extremely close to the stumps and it might just be that he's knocked the stumps down before the ball made contact, it's a close call but the third umpire gives it out. It was a direct hit but Mushfiqur was too close to the stumps as the ball made contact. However, the decision's been made and Bangladesh have won 271/10
	RW Price	lbw b Shakib Al Hasan	5	7	6	0	0	83.33
	45.4 he's given him! Chigumbura's running out of partners, round the wicket, slow through the air, pitched in line with middle and leg but didn't appear to straighten, Price went for the heave through midwicket, missed and was rapped on the pads, could have been sliding down 270/9
