Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe, 2nd T20I; Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chattogram
Bangladesh 142/4 (18.3 overs)
Zimbabwe 138/7 (20 overs)
Bangladesh won by six wickets
Towhid Hridoy kept his calm and hit pressure-releasing boundaries to steer Bangladesh to a six-wicket victory in the second T20I against Zimbabwe in Chattogram. The Tigers chased down the target of 139 with six wickets and nine balls in hand to go 2-0 up in the five-match series.
Hridoy struck two sixes and three fours in his unbeaten 25-ball 37, adding 31 runs for the fourth wicket with Jaker Ali, and another 49 for the fifth with Mahmudullah, who struck a massive six in his unbeaten 26 off 16 balls.
The victory was once again underpinned by Bangladesh's bowlers, who restricted Zimbabwe for the second successive game. Taskin Ahmed was the best of the attack, taking two for 18 in four overs, while legspinner Rishad Hossain struck twice in an over to jolt Zimbabwe's middle order.
Zimbabwe owed most of their runs to newcomers Johnathan Campbell and Brian Bennett, who added 73 runs off 43 balls for the sixth wicket to rescue them from 42 for five. Campbell's 45 is now Zimbabwe's highest score on T20I debut, while Bennett scored an unbeaten 44.
