That's a wrap. Thank you for joining us. As the players reminded there is a 50-over series to follow, the first match of which is on Friday afternoon. Hope to have your company then. Ta-ta!

Shakib Al Hasan is the Man of the Series, with 251 runs and 18 wickets. "We knew that it will be hard, we knew we had to stick to our process and improve every day. We did out basics right and that was key. We never thought we would win 3-0 but we knew if we stuck to our plans and executed them, we would win some games. It will lift our team now, some new guys are coming in for ODIs. We are better side in ODIs, in Tests we are improving. Five crucial games coming up. Everytime we go anywhere in Bangladesh we get huge support. Hopefully they will come in large numbers for the ODIs as well"

Mominul Haque is the Man of the Match. Has a big smile on his face. "Feeling good when you get runs. Cox's Bazaar is very close. I will go home now and I will enjoy myself. Tamim got hundred, Imrul got hundred as well. Jubair did well as well and we're going in the right direction"

"Great feeling. The team really performed well and I am really happy," says Mushfiqur Rahim, "At the start of the series, we had a chat with out seniors about them stepping up. So Tamim and Imrul came through. Our management planned it well and we executed our plans. In this year, we have not been performing well. But the guys have stuck to their plans. Before the World Cup there is a couple of ODI matches and hopefully we can carry the momentum. First of all, we want to celebrate this wins. I will hand over captaincy to Mash and he will continue the same way and Bangladesh will keep pushing for victory. Chittagong has been great and this is a place we all like"

Presentation time "It's been frustrating but you have to give credit to Bangladesh," says Brendan Taylor, "We fought really hard. Bangladesh have been professional and have made it very difficult for us to get back into the game. They had a quality spin attack and we were probably short in that department. It's a different format and we want to salvage some pride. Our batsmen got to 60s and 80s and not converting and with Bangladesh getting 500 it was hard to hit back. Great to see Hamilton and Reggie putting in good performances and it is time for he others to step up. A few players are coming in tonight, guys who haven't played international cricket before. It's going to be exciting. Always a great battle between Bangladesh and Zimbabwe"

Spare a thought for Regis Chakabva. He's come into his own in this series and has been stranded on 89. He looked the only batsman that played with any kind of intelligence amid a misfiring line-up that struggled to balance their natural game with the needs of the match situation. Bangladesh's spinners were going to the major threat, but their quicks came to the party as well. Mushfiqur would be pleased with how everyone has contributed throughout this series, and how he has blooded in a few new players as well. Promising times for Bangladesh, but they will have to face far stiffer competition in the next few months. They should enjoy this victory, but they should make sure it doesn't go to their heads

maruf: "everyone but Shakib got a wicket :("

Sheikh Minhaj H: "We Bangladeshis are so strange! We are now unhappy because our superman couldn't finish with 250 runs + 20 wickets in a series! But on contrary the good thing is we can take 10 wickets without Shakib!! In fact, even in first innings Shakib had only one wicket! Great success for the team!"

Shafiul to Mushangwe, OUT

that's it! Bangladesh are going out of their minds celebrating a historic 3-0 victory, but they have to calm down for a bit. The batsman has gone for a review. The umpire has called it out. This ball had hit a good length and sneaked in to hit him on the front pad. It is umpire's call on clipping the leg stump and Chittagong lets out a blood-curdling roar! So do the Bangladesh players. Two of them had to be pushed away by Dar so he could signal it out. Stumps and pulled out, handshakes shared, hugs given. It's been the performance the entire country has been waiting for

Shafiul to Mushangwe, no run

left him groping outside off as he pitches it on a good length outside off. Veers away off the staight again and almost took the outside edge

Natsai M'shangwe is the last man in. Tea has been extended to 2.55 pm

Shafiul to Masakadza, OUT

off stump has been knocked back! Only one more man is left standing for Zimbabwe! This was a beautiful delivery from Shafiul, pitched it up but confused the batsman as to whether he wanted to go forward or back. Shingi was stuck in his crease and pushed tamely at it. The ball straightens, clips his back pad and canons into the stumps

sliding down leg this time and Chakabva tucks it away to deep fine leg and doesn't care for the single

84.1
Shafiul to Chakabva, no run

Rubel to Masakadza, no run

banged in short again and Shigi wants nothing to do with it

83.4
Rubel to Masakadza, no run

shortish and slanted in at the body, he sinks to his knees and drops his wrists

hasan: "where is our superman(shakib)... ??? " Stuck in his secret costume-changing phone booth?

83.3
Rubel to Masakadza, no run

fullish on off stump, Shingi does well to get his bat down in time

Raqib: "I am a Bangladeshi fan, and all I can say that this is fantastic batting from Chakabva. Can't imagine the amount of pressure he is under, has to keep his team alive in the game as well as think about the soon approaching century. Most Bangladeshi batsmen would crack at this point. Whatever the result, I really hope he gets a 100 and Zim move him up the order. "

83.2
Rubel to Masakadza, no run

fires in a yorker on leg, appreciable movement in at the batsman who is again late in bringing down his bat. Oh, and that stung him. He's calling for the physio. That big toe gets a big bandage, he slips his socks and shoes back on an gets up again. Oh wait, I jumped the gun. He gets a little more attention. And now he's back up, getting the blood flowing in his legs

Shingi Masakadza is the new man in

Rubel to Panyangara, OUT

gets a wicket off his first ball! Panyangara walks up to check with his partner, but is advised not to go for a review. It was full and tailing in. Hit him very low on the front pad and his bat was still hidden behind it. Too quick for the tailender and he has to walk back

Tinashe Panyangara lbw b Rubel Hossain 2 (24b 0x4 0x6 44m) SR: 8.33

Rubel gets his first bowl of the day. His short deliveries might be a bit more potent against a No. 9
