and a wicket to finish things off! Panyangara continues bowling it full, on the stumps, swings and the ball hits the pads, plumb in front, what a terrific last over that was by Panyangara
Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh, 1st T20I at Bulawayo, May 11 2013 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Presentation:
Mushfiqur: "We lost two set batsmen in the same over, then the two run outs. 169 was gettable and we should have restricted them to 160."
Taylor: "Panyangara came back really strong. You never think you have enough, it was a flat wicket. In this format the team that holds its nerve gets over the line. Panyangara is a laidback guy."
Man of the Match is Masakadza: "Very relieved. We stuck to our guns well. It was good for us that we got both wickets (Shakib and Shamsur) in the same over. Really happy I managed to convert my start today."
Bangladesh have only a day to recover from what hit them today. That over will haunt them. The teams are back again tomorrow for the second and final T20 to conclude the tour. Thanks for your company and the mails. We'll see you again soon. Cheers!
End of match: What a fabulous comeback by Zimbabwe. They looked out of it when Shakib and Shamsur were running away with it. One over changed it all. Both set batsmen departed and from that point, Bangladesh well and truly botched it. The running was all over the place, the number of dot balls piled on the pressure and in the end, even Mushfiqur couldn't see his side through.
Stay with us for the presentation.
SarfBD: "We choked. That's all".
Nick: "phew its finally over and what a cliffhanger for Zim to win, great comeback from Panyangara"
Mostak Ahmed: "So finally Bangladesh lost the game by conceding 6 on the last delivery of 20th over, this is the case when ever you conceding six on last delivery!!"
excellent over this from Panyangara! Razzak swings again at a full delivery outside off, no contact, Taylor jumps up in celebration knowing they have this in the bag
They need a boundary
keeps it tight again! This was another fuller delivery, on the stumps, swings and mistimes the hoick to the deep on the on side
no he can't! This was full and a touch wide outside off, Razzak made a bit of room, failed to make contact
Can Razzak send this one out of the ground?
he moves across his stumps and tries the lap shot! The ball only clips his pads and rolls away, only a single
the captain wanted the strike and he's out off the first ball! It was a low full toss, Mushfiqur went across and tried to smash that over deep square leg, Williams takes it well in front of the rope
10 to get off 6! Did anyone think it would get this close?
Anupam: "Fair decision, i think the rule of grounding the bat needs to change in dives. The batsman has crossed the crease and grounded the bat but momentum means the bat sometimes goes up in the air, don't think it should be out.."
he shuffles and chips it over square leg and Gazi thinks of two but the captain's happy with one! He wants the strike
Gazi tries to paddle scoop it and he gets an inside edge clips his pads and rolls to the off side, they sneak a single
this was short and fizzing towards the face and he swings and misses
swings across the line and he places it to deep midwicket
Bang_La: "I am Bangladeshi yet totally appalled by the not-out decision. The bat was in air clearly, could tell from the shadow."
Mushfiqur's turning it on! This was full and wide outside the off stump and he reaches forward and scoops it over extra cover
short and wide outside the off stump and he hops at the crease and punches it to the off side
Daniel Alexander: "Took the dog for a walk, and the decision was still pending #thatwaslong"
There was a scoring error in the 17th over. It was indeed Ziaur on strike for those deliveries that beat the batsman. Mushfiqur hit the six
full outside the off stump and he gets down and bashes it away to long-off, a boundary to relieve the pressure
do we have yet another run out?? Tough one for the third umpire. Mushfiqur slogs the ball to wide long-on, they take the first run and set off for the second, the throw is flat and to the keeper, Mushfiqur dives and Taylor breaks the stumps, the bat bounced up and appeared to be in the air when the bails were dislodged, the third umpire is taking his time. He studies countless replays and he isn't 100% certain the bat was grounded properly and he rules in favour of the batsman!
and yet another wicket falls! Ziaur was udner pressure to score, he chips down the track and lofts him straight to deep extra cover
he fires a yorker length delivery outside off and drills it to cover
and we have a collision! Drills the ball to long-on and the batsmen collide midway, all happening here, luckily for it doesn't cost the visitors
and the captain relieves the pressure with a six! This was short and he swivels and pulls over deep midwicket, a charged up captain yells at Zia
and he finally gets some bat on it this time but it's an outside edge to third man
