Bangladesh beat Zimbabwe in 3rd T20I, win series: Key stats
19 Jul 2026


Bangladesh beat Zimbabwe 2-1 in the three-match series after winning the 3rd T20I at Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo.

The visitors chased down 144, with Tanzid Hasan Tamim scoring a match-winning half-century.

Zimbabwe earlier collapsed after being 107/2 in the 15th over. Only Dion Myers and Brian Bennett scored in double figures for them.

Here are the key stats.


Zimbabwe recover after poor start
Partnership


Batting first, Zimbabwe were off to a poor start, with opener Tadiwanashe Marumani perishing early.

Myers came in and joined forces with Bennett. The duo put together a 71-run second-wicket partnership.

However, Mohammad Saifuddin broke this stand by dismissing Bennett for 47 runs. This left Zimbabwe at a comfortable position of 77/2 after 11 overs, but things soon took a turn for the worse.


Myers's presence bolsters Zimbabwe despite collapse
Knock


Despite Myers's efforts to keep the scoreboard ticking, regular wickets kept Zimbabwe from accelerating in the final overs.

Such was Zimbabwe's misery that Myers and Bennett were the only batters to enter double digits.

The former stayed till the end and was eventually dismissed in the last over. The batter's 73 came off 53 balls and included 7 fours and 2 sixes.


Third T20I half-century
