A similar story happened with Craig Evans (13). Things got worse for Zimbabwe as they also lost captain Sikander Raza and Clive Madande afterwards. The Bangladesh bowlers were all over the batters as the visitors were reeling at 42/5 at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram.
With the team under enormous pressure, Brian Bennet (44*) and Jonathan Campbell (45) joined forces and bailed the team out. They attacked the Bangladesh bowlers and ensured that they gave the team some quick runs which gave them a decent total score.
The duo added 73 runs and put their team in a great position. However, they were unable to continue as Bangladesh continued to score important goals. Owing to his important partnership with the bat, Zimbabwe put a total of 138 runs on the scoreboard at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram.
For Bangladesh, Taskin Ahmed was the pick of the bowlers with his figures of 2/18. Rishad Hossain also bagged two wickets while the rest of the bowlers contributed one each, restricting Zimbabwe to a total of under 150.
