Full commentary
This is Abhishek Purohit signing off for one final time in this series. Keep joining us for more action from around the cricketing world. Cheers!
Taylor gets the series trophy, Meth joins in as well feeling his sore mouth gingerly. A happy Zimbabwe unit pose with the trophy and that brings us to an end of this series.
Brendan Taylor: "Bit disappointed with the way we ended but pretty chuffed with the series win, we will enjoy it. We played well as a collective unit, guys put their hands up and batted deep, bowlers did well and we fielded well. We are in a good place right now [with the depth in the squad] and it is nice to have options. We will get back to some hard work and see where we can improve on for the Pakistan series. Massive thank you to the crowd, they have come out and are getting bigger, hopefully we can put some smiles on their faces."
Brian Vitori is the Man of the Series for his match-winning performances that gave Zimbabwe the series. Vitori: "We have done all the hard work, had two months of preparation, I am not surprised that we did well. I was just having a problem with my shin and had to rest it [for the last two games]. Hopefully I will be ready for the Test against Pakistan."
Shakib Al Hasan is the Man of the Match. Shakib: "All the boys showed some character that we are not here just to play the game. It was painful (the injured finger), not too much worry, it should be alright. Newcomers have shown lots of promise, our fast bowlers have done well throughout the series. Everything came well in the last two games, We were coming off a break from international cricket, so it was not going to be easy for the guys."
Handshakes all around, that is the end of the series. So Bangladesh coming back in this series after it was gone, the third game was within their reach, it was one straight hit away but they could not do it. Poor batting performance from Zimbabwe today, they could do nothing against the spinners once Sibanda fell. Shakib doing it again for Bangladesh, 216 runs in the series at an average of 54 (bettered only by Sibanda), and six wickets at under five an over

loud appeal for leg before, Shafiul is sure he has his man, angled in and strikes him in front of middle and leg, could have gone down leg, but close enough to merit a big shout
