wicket off the last ball, and its Sabbir again. Offers up a short ball that Cremer goes to pull over the leg side. He was hitting against the turn so ends up with a top edge that goes straight up and falls straight down into the bowler's own hands

That's all we have for you, thanks for your comments and we hope you tune in again for the third ODI from Khulna on Wednesday. Goodbye
Sabbir Rahman is the Man of the Match. "Very happy to go 2-0 and hopefully we will win the third one too. Wicket was very good, it came onto the bat very nicely and when I came to the crease I just supported Soumya Sarkar. They were playing the big shots and I just played beside them. It's a start [the three wickets]"
"We saw the wicket was a bit slower, we thought 150-160 was a good score. They had a good start but we came back well," says Mashrafe Mortaza. "It is very important for the openers to go good, and Sabbir Rahman is scoring for the team at No. 3. Unlucky Mushfiq got injured, but Shakib finished it well. I hope the injury is not serious, we thought it isn't very serious but we were fielding. Have to check only now. All through 2015 we have been bowling as a group and good to see it continue"
"I guess the bowlers did quite well to restrict Bangladesh. 167 was chaseable, but we didn't do enough in the powerplay and then overs 6-10 was [disappointing] as well," says Hamilton Masakadza, stand-in Zimbabwe captain. "With the World Cup in mind, we will have a few things tried out and we have to make the best use of it [the combination] on the day. I thought the guys bowled quite well, don't think too much to tinker with the bowling. We need to do more with the bat because these are batter-friendly conditions"
6.15 pm So no doubt about who the Man of the Match would be. Sabbir becomes the second Bangladeshi to score 40 runs and pick up three wickets. They had a good total on the board, but not a winning one just yet. A good show from their bowlers was needed and they got that. Mustafizur and his cutters and yorkers were impressive again. Shakib and his ability to tie batsman down came to the fore again. And amid all that Sabbir somehow takes three wickets in 13 balls to seal a 42-run victory.

Mustafizur seems to be having a problem with his left shoulder. He is clutching it, and trying to test it out. Tamim tells him to stop and asks him to go off the field. Bangladesh don't want to take any chances with him

Mustafizur to Cremer, 1 leg bye
that time the search for the block hole makes him bowl a low full toss on leg stump, still since it's rather quick, the batsman can't connect with the flick

Mustafizur to Cremer, no run
another irritating yorker for the batsman, who can only dig it out

Mustafizur to Cremer, 2 runs
right up there on middle and leg, flicked to deep midwicket. Kayes was the man running in, bends down to pick it up with one hand but fails to pick the ball up
Guess who?

Alex: "I'm getting impressed by the Mustafizur cutter everyday. He is no one trick pony and knows what he's doing. " --- he's been taken off though. Shuvagata is now on
