Melbourne: Bangladesh defeated Zimbabwe in a thrilling match to equal India in the group 2 points table. With this win, Bangladesh has also reached 4 points, but due to the poor net run rate from India, they are in second place. Batting first in this match, Bangladesh had set a target of 151 runs in front of Zimbabwe. In front of this score, Zimbabwe's entire team could score only 147 runs and Bangladesh won the match by 3 runs.

Chasing a target of 151 runs, Zimbabwe had a poor start. Wesley Madhevere 4, then Craig Ervine was dismissed for 8 runs. Both the batsmen were sent to the pavilion by Taskin Ahmed. At the same time, Mustafizur made in-form Sikandar Raza (0) his victim with Milton Shumba (8) in the last over of the Powerplay. Zimbabwe's fifth blow came in the form of Regis Chakabva on 69, who was dismissed by Taskin on a score of 15. Shaun Williams then shared a half-century partnership with Ryan Burl to take the team closer to victory, but he was run out for 64 in the 19th over.

A strange incident was witnessed on the last ball of Zimbabwe's innings. Zimbabwe needed 5 runs to win, Blessing Muzarabani wanted to play a big shot, but he could not connect the ball. It felt like the match was over here and all the players started returning to the pavilion. Then in the replay, the third umpire found that wicket-keeper Nurul Hasan had caught the ball before the wicket, due to which it was given a no-ball. In such a situation, all the players had to come back to the field for the last ball. However, it made just one run difference to the result, as Mujrabani could not connect the ball to the bat even on the last ball.

At the same time, Bangladesh scored 150 runs at the loss of 7 wickets in 20 overs with the help of Nazmul Hossain Shanto's first T20 International half-century. Shanto played an excellent inning of 71 runs in 55 balls with the help of 7 fours and 1 six. Apart from them, Shakib Al Hasan contributed 23 and Afif Hossain contributed 29 runs. Richard Ngarwa and Blessing Muzarabani took two wickets each for Zimbabwe.
