00:11Hello and thank you for joining us for the first ODI between Zimbabwe and Bangladesh.
00:19We're live from Harare Sports Club.
00:22It's a cloudy morning here.
00:24It's a nippy morning.
00:24It's a cool morning.
00:26And just a short while ago, the two skippers are out there at the toss.
00:31And Bangladesh called correctly.
00:34And they had no hesitation in bowling first.
00:38There's the Zimbabwe 11.
00:40Ben Curran and Bennett right at the top of the innings.
00:42Innocent Kahir looks like he'll bat three.
00:44Craig Irvin.
00:45Sekanda Raza back in the side.
00:47Wesley Madivere in a good vein of form.
00:49Clive Madandia will have the gloves.
00:52And then we're into the seamers.
00:54And there's four of them.
00:55Brad Evans who can bat.
00:56Nyamori who was excellent in the test match.
00:58And the skipper Richard Ngarava and his partner, Blessing Muzarabani.
01:05Bangladesh, they've won four ODI series on the trot.
01:09And this is their 11.
01:10Zomiya Shaka, Hassan, Shanto, Hirdoy who was here during the test matches.
01:16Saikat, good to see him.
01:18Back in the side, very talented.
01:20Here we go.
01:25Movement straight away.
01:32Oh yes, Brian Bennett up and running with a beauty.
01:42Shot, Brian Bennett.
01:46A beauty, yet again.
01:52Don't miss length.
01:55Sits up and is punished.
01:5718 without loss.
02:01And more with.
02:04Missing length again and punished.
02:10Thick outside edge.
02:12Shimmy down the wicket.
02:14Fortunate runs, but runs they will take.
02:20A beauty.
02:23This time is static at the crease and it's a punch off the back foot.
02:29Pretty shot.
02:31Very pretty.
02:33Change of angle.
02:35And a no ball.
02:36Oh no.
02:39Why, why, why?
02:41Kamikaze.
02:46Who's the fielder?
02:48Brilliant piece of fielding.
02:54Or rather mid-off.
02:57Straight away.
02:58He's too close.
02:58Oh, very good.
02:59Terrific.
03:01This looks very, very tight indeed.
03:06No, Arta, this is out.
03:10Just a bat in frame there.
03:13Yeah, easy decision for the TV umpire.
03:17It is an unnecessary run.
03:19Know the fielder you're hitting the ball to.
03:22Mahedi is an excellent fielder.
03:25And there's confirmation.
03:27Out.
03:27Ben Curran gifting the opposition a wicket.
03:31He's gone for 18.
03:33It's 35 for one.
03:36Oh, two wickets in the Elba.
03:44Moshe Deque Hossein, I think it is.
03:48With.
03:50Timed.
03:51But finds the fielder.
03:55Brian Bennett thought he was in business to put that away.
03:58He's played it on the up.
04:00This time he finds the fielder.
04:03Yeah, Musatek takes a sharp catch.
04:06He'll be disappointed.
04:09He has to depart.
04:10They lose two in this over.
04:13Brian Bennett was looking good.
04:15But they had to pay the price for me playing probably too many shots.
04:21Gone for 17.
04:2336 for two.
04:25Gone right through.
04:27Very full.
04:28It's a beaten urban all ends up.
04:31Bangladesh are back in this.
04:33Irvin just plays all around us.
04:36Look at that.
04:37Just pitches and nips.
04:38Enough.
04:41Takes the bales.
04:42And Bangladesh now.
04:45Getting in amongst the Zimbabwean batters.
04:47So, Craig Irvin.
04:49First ball duck.
04:50Zimbabwe 38 for three.
04:54Yes, he's gone.
04:55That's a very odd shot.
04:57He tried to make room and the ball was climbing up on him.
05:00That's a soft dismissal, really.
05:04First ball tonight.
05:05He's just given himself room and just literally thrown the bats at that.
05:12Disappointing from Sekunder Raza.
05:14Gone for one.
05:15Zimbabwe 45 for four.
05:19It's then taken.
05:21It's a beauty.
05:25It angles in.
05:27Bounces.
05:28Takes the outside edge.
05:31It's a comfortable catch for the slip fielder.
05:34Wonderful delivery.
05:35It's pitched.
05:36He has to play this one.
05:38Perhaps could have left it on height.
05:40But wonderful bowling again from Nahid Ran as he picks up his second.
05:46Muslima de Jerez disappointed.
05:47Goes without scoring.
05:4947 for five.
05:53A person gone.
05:56That's number six.
05:59Again here we see from Clive Madande.
06:02He's slow to get onto that front foot.
06:04He is that back leg.
06:06He's never going to be over the front line.
06:08And again Madande not moving forward with any confidence at all.
06:13Zimbabwe lose their sixth.
06:14Madande just two runs.
06:16And it's 51 for six.
06:17And being overly defensive.
06:20Maybe play a few shots.
06:23And maybe you get a few runs that are fortunate.
06:31Play shots.
06:33Why not?
06:35Take the game to the opposition.
06:38If you're under a little bit of pressure and you've lost more than half your side.
06:42All the way for half a dozen.
06:46Edged and taken.
06:48Runners having a day out here at Harare Sports Club.
06:52Another beauty.
06:54Another brute.
06:56Sensational delivery again.
06:58Hard into a length.
07:00And it's the bounce that does for Innocent Gaia.
07:03It's a left off a good length.
07:05Hit him on the top hand.
07:07And he's gone for 26 from 39.
07:1069 for seven.
07:14Across the line and given.
07:17That is the third five-wicket haul.
07:21Nahedrana from the Kovkois end.
07:24The chief destroyer.
07:26He's picked up five.
07:28And it's the third time in ODI cricket.
07:31Zimbabwe have lost their eighth.
07:33It's the slower delivery, isn't it?
07:36Rolls the fingers in an offspin man out.
07:41And plumbers you like.
07:46He's gone for three.
07:4870 for eight.
07:53Pulled away and that'll go for four.
07:56Very nicely controlled by Ingaraba.
08:04I think that's come off the back of the bat.
08:08Nyamuri will enjoy the result.
08:11And Richard's enjoyed that as well.
08:16In the air.
08:17He's got enough on it to go over the head of Tuscan Ahmed and get four to close off the
08:22over.
08:26Lovely.
08:27Very nicely played.
08:28That'll go away for four.
08:32Nahedrana Mustafi's Tuscan back.
08:35That's a good shot.
08:36Off the back foot.
08:37Hit hard and cover.
08:39Couldn't cut it off.
08:40That's Nahedrana there.
08:41Tall man who's balled seven overs on Trot.
08:46Again goes high.
08:47Goes big.
08:48Chance here.
08:48And oh, dropped.
08:49And four.
08:53Very casual effort there.
08:55That should have been backed.
09:01Runs here.
09:02More runs.
09:03Boundary again.
09:04Important runs being put up by Captain of Zimbabwe.
09:0750 partnership.
09:11Yeah, he's got him.
09:13Couple of shorter deliveries.
09:14Smart bowling.
09:15And he's balled one right into the block hole.
09:18And he's ended this partnership.
09:20Getting six wickets to his name.
09:22His career best in ODI's for Nahedrana.
09:26And it's Richard Garawa with the Yorker.
09:29Knocks over leg stump.
09:31An entertaining knock of 27 comes to an end.
09:34And Zimbabwe are 133 for nine.
09:39That's in the air.
09:41This should be taken.
09:42This should be the end of the Zimbabwe innings.
09:44As Yumin Yamuri has hauled out at backwards square leg.
09:49And Bangladesh have balled out Zimbabwe for 141.
09:55Hangs in the air.
09:56There's a few that have been put down.
09:59A little bit of a juggling act there on that occasion.
10:02But then hangs on.
10:11A fighting innings by Neumann Yamuri comes to an end.
10:1533 or 51.
10:17But there is the hero of the day.
10:226 for 21 in his 10 overs with two maidens.
10:26Tough day in the office for Zimbabwe.
10:28But they get to 141.
10:30Bangladesh.
10:30They'll need 142 runs to win the first ODI here in Harare.
10:39On to the pads.
10:40Not the right way to start with.
10:42It's clipped it over.
10:42It was in the air.
10:43But it's gone past the field at short mid-wicket.
10:46They should come back for the third.
10:47And they do.
10:55Again.
10:57On to the pads.
10:58So these are easy pickings.
10:59They might not just go all the way.
11:00But it will allow the batters to come back for the third.
11:03For the second time in this over.
11:09Short ball pulled away.
11:10That is a smashing shot.
11:12One bounce to the fence.
11:13That is a cracking shot.
11:14From Tanji Thassar.
11:19Again.
11:19It's a pick-up shot.
11:21Fielder coming underneath it.
11:23And takes a catch.
11:24Oh.
11:24He's done well.
11:25He's done exceedingly well.
11:29Nyamuri.
11:31Judges to perfection.
11:33And then the length on this one is good.
11:36He tries to pick it up.
11:38And Yuma Nyamuri.
11:39That long leg.
11:40Takes a very good athletic catch.
11:42He releases it correctly.
11:44Gets both feet back in the field of play.
11:47And takes a wonderful catch to get the Zimbabwe.
11:52Zimbabwe's first innings.
11:53First wicket.
11:55Sorry.
11:55In this Bangladesh run chase.
11:59Still having a look.
12:00And it looks like he's done well here.
12:03Yep.
12:05OUT.
12:05He has to walk back.
12:06What a catch.
12:07What a sensational start for Muzurbani.
12:11Tanjiit goes.
12:11It goes for eight.
12:12It's 11 for what?
12:13Create chances.
12:17That is gone.
12:18That is straight into the hands.
12:19You don't need a feeler in the slip score.
12:22And feeler in the third grabs it.
12:25So another one goes.
12:26Extra bounce.
12:27A little bit of pace there.
12:29It carries all the way down to third man.
12:32And Ben Karin gets in a good position to pick up Zimbabwe's second wicket.
12:40Yeah.
12:41Shanta goes for three.
12:43Bangladesh at 17 for two.
12:45Grava to continue.
12:48And now shots of catch it.
12:49Shouts of catch it.
12:50This could be taken.
12:51And it is.
12:52Come on.
12:53Come on.
12:54Can you believe it?
12:56Short and wide.
12:57He cannot believe it.
12:58He's still standing there.
12:59But he has to walk back.
13:01Gets into the act.
13:03Picks up his first wicket.
13:04Short and wide outside.
13:06The off stamp has to be that steeper bounce.
13:09Causing some problems here.
13:12Long boundaries.
13:13Into those pockets towards widish.
13:21Can't pull there.
13:23Oh, this has gone a long way.
13:25Somebody throw it back.
13:31Yeah, that should be a boundary.
13:33It's down the leg side.
13:35And the fielder is quite wide.
13:38A deep find.
13:43Yeah, that will be tough for that fielder to cut it off.
13:46That was traveling once again.
13:48Another Zimbabwe bowler.
13:49On the hips.
13:50On the leg stump.
13:57Ridhoi has looked good.
13:58He writes the bounce.
14:00And he controls that shot very well.
14:02The angle of the bat suggests he's not going to play anything in the air.
14:05Very well controlled.
14:10Chance here.
14:11Chance here.
14:12What a catch.
14:13I don't know if that was necessary from Ridhoi.
14:16But he latched onto it.
14:18And he's played it straight down to the throat of the man in the deep.
14:21The catching has been brilliant today.
14:25But then he realized that he was in business.
14:27So he came in quite quickly towards the ball.
14:30And realized it was coming quite quickly.
14:32Hands out to the left.
14:33And he picks a really good one.
14:35There you go.
14:36The wicket that Zimbabwe needed.
14:38And that two off.
14:39Tahi Dridhoi.
14:41He has to go.
14:42Gone for 25.
14:43He'll be disappointed.
14:45Zimbabwe has taken one more.
14:46It's 66 for four.
14:51That's going to go for a boundary.
14:54That's nicely played into the gap.
14:56That'll earn him four rounds here.
14:59Without losing any more wickets.
15:02Oh, yes.
15:03Oh, yes.
15:04There's a sound.
15:05He's gone.
15:05Chasing a wide one outside.
15:07And surely it was heard up here.
15:10The umpire straight away goes up.
15:12No doubt whatsoever.
15:14He's having it.
15:15Runs with the barriers.
15:17It's a wide delivery.
15:18Again, slashing.
15:20Outside edge.
15:21And the keeper does the rest.
15:24Too wide.
15:25But he has to go.
15:26Gone for three.
15:2874 for five.
15:32Edge.
15:34Height.
15:36And four.
15:41Uppish.
15:42Bennett.
15:43Taken.
15:44Oh, another twist.
15:48He could have hit it anywhere through the offside.
15:53But he finds the fielder.
15:56And yet another wicket falls.
15:58There's six down.
15:59It's a very difficult shot to cut the left arm.
16:01Seema from around the wicket.
16:04Just had no control over this one.
16:07And in the outfield, Brian Bennett takes a really good catch.
16:11As Zabawi have claimed their sixth wicket.
16:14And it's the captain.
16:15Gone for 10.
16:1689 for six.
16:18Yes.
16:21Yeah, that's a nice shot.
16:24It's very big square here at Arari Sports Club.
16:27But it finds the boundary.
16:2975 meters towards the grass embankment.
16:35How is that umpire?
16:38That is out.
16:39Go with the end swinger.
16:41Use your strengths.
16:43And number seven has fallen.
16:45That Evans is a long way behind that bump increase.
16:49And our chest in half.
16:53Probably going to carry on and hit the leg stump.
16:56Absolutely massive wicket as Nurul Hassan.
16:5931 from 44.
17:00Bangladesh on 98 for seven.
17:05Is and taken.
17:07Make that an eighth down.
17:10What a game we're having here at Arari Sports Club.
17:13The bowlers are keeping Zimbabwe in the contest.
17:22Just dying to his left.
17:24And he's gotten his hands underneath it.
17:27As Zimbabwe make it 99 for eight.
17:44Go straight.
17:44Goes high.
17:46And he'll go one bounce into the fence.
17:51In the air.
17:52Gone.
17:53Tusken goes.
17:54Didn't quite get hold of it.
17:56Regular pace on that one from Brad Evans.
17:58And he's just not timed it at all.
18:02And it's gone to covers.
18:03Brad Evans gets his third wicket in this match.
18:07Trying to make room and work it onto the onside.
18:11And he's instead landed straight into the hands of Kaba.
18:16Nine gone for 105.
18:18Tusken goes for five.
18:19Bangladesh are still 37 behind.
18:2541.
18:30Yeah, that will work.
18:32Naid Rana.
18:33Inside.
18:36Yeah, he's got that from the middle of the bat.
18:38Yes, he has.
18:39One bounce.
18:40And goes into the fence.
18:42Mustafi's is bat.
18:45It's gone high in the air.
18:47Is there a chance?
18:48Who's going to take it again?
18:49Blessing takes the catch.
18:51Captain takes the wicket.
18:53Zimbabwe go.
18:54One up in the series.
18:55Beating Bangladesh in this first outing here at Harare.
18:59Stopping them from getting to 142.
19:04It was writing on the wall.
19:07The kind of batting display that we've seen from Bangladesh.
19:10And icing on the cake.
19:12Because it is Angrava, the skipper,
19:14who was involved in that big partnership
19:16to finish it off in style.
19:20Zimbabwe going to defend the low total of 141.
19:24And in the end, win by 25 runs.
19:30Zimbabwe was asked to bat first.
19:32141 is what they managed in 36.4 overs.
19:35Bangladesh in reply fell short by 25 runs.
19:38And that is the margin by which Zimbabwe won the game.
19:41Let's pray for the rest of the season.
19:47Let's pray for the rest.
19:51And
