Another easy win for Zimbabwe

Bangladesh were bowled out for 188 runs in 47.3 overs and Zimbabwe scaled down the target in the 44th over with seven wickets in hand on Sunday.

Vusi Sibanda (67, 96b, 7x4) and Hamilton Masakadza (38, 51b, 5x4) sent Zimbabwe on their way. Taibu, who scored a unbeaten 61 (74b, 4x4, 2x6), shared a good partnership with Sibanda before completing the formalities with Craig Ervine.

Earlier, Vitori’s (5/20) second successive five wicket haul limited Bangladesh to a total of 188. Nasir Hossain was the top-scorer for Bangladesh with 63 runs off 93 balls.
