Zimbabwe 156 for 8 (Burl 54, Jongwe 35, Mahedi 2-28) beat Bangladesh 146 for 8 (Afif 39*, Mahmudullah 27, Nyauchi 3-29) by 10 runs

Zimbabwe clinched their maiden T20I series win over a higher-ranked side when they beat Bangladesh by 10 runs in the third game in Harare.

The home side roused a full-house crowd by lifting themselves from 67 for 6 to finish on a competitive 156 for 8, before restricting Bangladesh to 146 for 8 in 20 overs.

Ryan Burl has been named player of the match while Sikanda Raza is the player of the series.

Zimbabwe had only recently won the T20 World Cup qualifier. They beat West Indies in a one-off match in 2010, toppled Scotland 2-1 in 2021 and won a tri-nation tournament in Singapore also featuring Nepal three years ago. But this marks their first ever series win over a Full Member in bilateral short-form cricket. ZTN Correspondent/Cric Info
