Twenty20: Bangladesh v Zimbabwe

A somewhat new experience for these players, as both Bangladesh and Zimbabwe are playing in their first International Twenty20 match ever.

Bangladesh batting first, Nafees out for 26, and new player Nazmus Sadat out for 4. Adbur Razzak currently on 28, in there with Saqibul.

Bangladesh 64-2 after 6 overs.

Okay, that earlier update may have been a little off. Looks like Aftab was actually the third man in for Bangladesh.

They reached 115-7 after 15 overs.
Nafees got 25, Saqibul was out for 26, Aftab was out for 28.
129-7 after 16 overs.

Conflicting reports on Bangladesh's final score here.
Cricinfo says 159 all out, and a Bangladeshi site says 166 all out.

Looks like Mashrafe Mortaza was high scorer with 36.

Zimbabwe finish 123-9, Bangladesh win by 43 runs.

Bangladesh win the first ever Twenty20 for either of these two teams. Rafique got 3 wickets.

Hopefully the rest of the series will go Bangladesh's way too. They certainly got it started off on the right foot.
