Sports Desk: Bangladesh started this year's T20 World Cup campaign by defeating the Netherlands but surrendered to South Africa in the second match of the Super Twelve. But the Tigers, desperate to turn around, made a challenging score of 150 runs against Zimbabwe.

Taskin Ahmed hit the Zimbabwean camp with the third ball of the first over. Madhevere (4) hands the catch to Mustafiz who is standing at deep third man. So that the Rhodesians lost the first wicket in those 4 runs.

After taking 7 in the second over, Taskin hit the Zimbabwean camp again in the third over. This time his victim is Craig Irvine. The Zimbabwean captain returned with 8 runs off 7 balls with two fours. As a result, the team lost the second wicket by 17 runs. After that, Mustafiz joined the wicket-taker by returning Milton Shumba (8) and the excellent Sikandar Raja (90). Shakib took a great catch at mid on.

As of writing this report, Zimbabwe's score in 10 overs is 64 runs for 4 wickets. Shaun Williams is at the crease on 26 runs and Chakava is on 12 runs.

Before this, Bangladesh came to bat first at the Gabba on Sunday morning and lost 2 wickets in the power-play and managed to score 63 runs in 10 overs. He added another 40 runs in the next five overs, losing one wicket. And in the last five overs only 47 runs can be lost by 4 wickets.

So that the collection of Shakib's team is 150 runs after losing 7 wickets in the scheduled over. Shanto picked up the first fifty of his career for the team. After playing in an innings of 71 runs from 54 balls, he was dismissed by Rajar. His career best was 7 fours and a six in this innings.

Besides, the second highest 29 runs came from the bat of Afif. And Shakib was out for 23 runs.

Ngarava and Mujarabani took 2 wickets each for Zimbabwe bowling brilliantly. Apart from this, Sikandar Raja and Shaun Williams got one wicket each
