4th ODI: Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh at Harare

The fourth and final ODI is about to commence. Bangladesh leads the series 2-1, and now it's either up to them to win it or Zimbabwe to tie it.

In the 5-ODI series in Bangladesh in December, it wasn't even close. Bangladesh crushed them in just about every game. But now that they're home in Zimbabwe, the Zimbabweans are putting up much more of a fight.

Bangladesh are cruising at the moment and are 3/192 after 34 overs. Aftab Ahmed was out not long ago for 92 off just 77 balls, an innings which included 5 sixes. Mushfiqur Rahim is unbeaten on 52 and earlier Tamim Iqbal made a brisk 30.

For Zimbabwe, Andrew Ireland has 2/47. The other bolwers have all struggled expect for Ed Rainsford who has the other wicket.

Bangladesh win JUST BARELY, 246-9 after 47.2 overs

look at this:

Fall of wickets1-3 (Shahriar Nafees), 2-40 (Tamim Iqbal), 3-172 (Aftab Ahmed), 4-209 (Mushfiqur Rahim), 5-216 (Saqibul Hasan), 6-216 (Tushar Imran), 7-238 (Mashrafe Mortaza), 8-242 (Habibul Bashar), 9-242 (Tapash Baisya)

It was getting a little nail-biting right at the end there.

Aftab was MOTM with a fast 92. Almost got to a century this time.
