15-Apr-2017
Fourth Twenty20 international At Khulna, January 22, 2016. Zimbabwe won by 18 runs.
‡Zimbabwe 180-4 (20 overs) (H. Masakadza 93*, R. Mutumbami 32, M. N. Waller 36); Bangladesh 162 (19 overs) (Mahmudullah 54; T. S. Chisoro 3-17, N. Madziva 4-34). MoM: H. Masakadza. MoS: H. Masakadza. With Chigumbura back at the helm for what turned out to be the last time before he stepped down, Zimbabwe romped home to draw the series. Masakadza's whiplash bat-swing brought five sixes, most of them deep into the stands. His unbeaten 58-ball 93 was a Zimbabwean T20 record, bettering his own pair of 79s, a week earlier and against Canada in 2008-09. Richmond Mutumbami and Waller backed him up, and Bangladesh needed 181. They were soon 17-4. Neville Madziva topped and tailed the innings, while Tendai Chisoro dismissed the in-form Sabbir and Shakib. Imrul Kayes counter-attacked until caught at deep midwicket, and Mahmudullah, who put on 57 with Nurul Hasan, waged battle into the 16th over, when he was bowled by Chisoro.
