a thumping win for Bangladesh as they complete the whitewash. Agony for Zimbabwe. Fuller outside off and this had been driven through covers to wrap up the game
Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh, 3rd ODI at Harare, ZIM v BDESH, Jul 20 2021 - Ball by Ball Commentary
That's all from out side for this game. See you soon.
Tamim collects the trophy and now the players are posing for the team photo.
Tamim Iqbal is the Player of the Match. Tamim: Happy that I contributed for the team. I thought it was a very good wicket, they batted exceptionally well. They could have 25-30 runs more but we bowled well in the last two-three overs. It was a good challenge for the batting unit and we responded well. Unfortunately, I won't be part of the T20 team because of my injury. I need to do rehab for 10-12 weeks. But all the best to the players and Eid Mubarak to everyone back home.
Shakib Al Hasan is the Player of the Series. Shakib: Feels good to contribute for the team. Winning 3-0 against Zimbabwe in Zimbabwe is not easy. The pitch was really good today, and I feel I missed out. In T20Is, we have to be at our best as the game changes in the matter of an over. We will have to take it one game at a time.
Brendan Taylor: 15-20 runs short. They paced the innings beautifully. Tamim showed his class today. We can take some positives out of it though. Regis has really found another gear, I am really pleased for him. Raza and Burl performed well after coming from injuries. Muzarabani is our strike bowler, Tiripano had found some rhythm and some reverse swing, so I stuck with him but they saw him off.
Time for the presentation ceremony.
Andy: "Mature performance from two youngsters, keep it up"
Khalid: "What a knock from Nurul coming back to the team after so many days. Bravo!!"
5.15pm A win with two overs to spare. Tamim Iqbal's brilliant ton had set up the chase and Nurul Hasan finished it with an unbeaten 39-ball 45. Just like all the games so far on this tour, Zimbabwe seemed to have things under control at times but they failed to seize those moments. Taylor's captaincy was a bit baffling as well. He didn't bring on Muzarabani earlier and kept throwing the ball to Tiripano, just like Bangladesh did with Saifuddin.

slower length ball on the stumps and they sneak in two once again. Played in front of square leg with soft hands and the short midwicket fielder was slow to respond. Think it was Raza
