Full commentary
Bangladesh take a 2-1 lead with this win. Zimbabwe begun well but Masakadza's dismissal put the brakes on when they were seemingly inching towards a total upward of 250. Partnership between Tamim and Ashraful decidedly swung the match in Bangladesh's favour. Stay back for post match quotes
Masakadza says " We were below par with batting and kept losing wickets at regular intervals. We need to work on our batting and we played the spinners well today but we needed to be more decisive "
Shakib says" We tried a few experiments, which did not work. We will try it some other time. If we play to our merits we will win as these are our home conditions. Whenever the top-order scores runs it becomes easier for the middle order"
Tamim Iqbal is the Man of the match. He says" I am not happy because I did not go on to get the century and did not finish my job. The boys are really working hard and am happy with the team's progress. On any given day, the team that plays better cricket will win the match"
That's it from all of us here at Cricinfo and do remember to join us on tueday for the fourth ODI, which starts at 10:30 am local time

A Spell like Lasith Malinga's in the World Cup 2007 will decide the match in favour of Zimbabwe but that's wishful thinking!
