Razzak spins Bangladesh to another win

Razzak spins Bangladesh to another win

Abdur Razzak has been in top form
Bangladesh spinner Abdur Razzak once again spun a web around Zimbabwe as he claimed 4-14 in his ten overs to be voted Man of the Match once again in the third One-Day International in Dhaka on Monday. 

Bangladesh won the third one-dayer by 65 runs and now leads the five-match series 2-1. With the loss, Zimbabwe slipped outside the top ten on the Reliance Mobile ICC ODI Championship table.

Razzak was backed up by medium-pacer Shafiul Islam (4-43) as Bangladesh successfully defended its total of 246-7 as Zimbabwe was bowled out for 181.

Zimbabwe's stand-in captain Prosper Utseya provided some resistance with his all-round effort. He scored 67 off 101 balls with three sixes and three fours after earlier picking up four wickets. But Zimbabwe's chase never really took off as Razzak had a vice-like grip on the proceedings.

Earlier, Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan and wicketkeeper Mushfiqur Rahim scored half centuries and shared a 116-run partnership to help Bangladesh reach 246-7. 

Utseya claimed four wickets for 38 but his effort failed to restrict the hosts amid often-fierce batting by Shakib and Rahim. 

Utseya had Rahim (63) caught by Shingi Masakadza and trapped Al Hasan (73) lbw to make the total 208-6. 

Shakib's 17th ODI half-century came off 68 balls that included two boundaries. Rahim stroked five boundaries and reached his seventh 50 off 62 balls. 

After losing the toss, Bangladesh lost opener Tamim Iqbal for a duck in the first over and struggled to 71-4 in the 20th over before Rahim and Shakib Al Hasan took charge. 

Opener Imrul Kayes kept the top order together, scoring 33 before he was caught by Tatenda Taibu off Utseya, who also took a catch to remove Zunaed Siddique (1) and trapped Raqibul Hassan (12) lbw. 

Naeem Islam (23) and Mashrafe bin Mortaza (11) were unbeaten at the end of the innings. 

Bangladesh named an unchanged lineup from the team which won the second match to square the series at 1-1. 

Utseya is leading Zimbabwe in place of regular skipper Elton Chigumbura, who was injured during practice on Sunday.
