Zimbabwe will lose the second match of this series because they were badly defeated in the first innings and their batsmen played very badly in the second innings which is the result of Bangladesh's tough bowling in which they allowed only 104 runs and took 9 wickets due to which Bangladesh batsmen will have to score few runs because Bangladesh batsmen scored more runs than Zimbabwe batsmen in the first innings. Zimbabwe was playing quite well but they want to give Bangladesh a chance because there will be more interest in the third match due to which the match will be more interesting to watch and who will win this series. But Zimbabwe should have whitewashed Bangladesh which could have created interest. But Bangladesh is also working hard due to which we cannot consider Bangladesh as weak and Bangladesh has the last chance in the next match in which they can play well and win.

It seems like the Bang Bros are back in action. They have managed to win a test against their favorite opponent, Zimbabwe. I have to agree that the batters played a little better than in the previous match. Performance of the top order is important, and I can't say they played badly this time. One of the openers scored a century, and Miraz also scored a century. The most surprising innings came from Tanzim Sakib as he scored 40+ runs being a number 10 player.

Taijul bowled well in the both innings which helped Bangladesh to secure a win by an innings, which is incredible. But, there is nothing to be proud about, Zimbabwe is not a big team and it's not too hard to beat them in test.

Yes, the performance of the Bangladesh team was very good today, they attacked with their maximum strength in the second test match, due to which they were successful in achieving victory. What was really remarkable about them in today's match by a huge margin is that after losing the first match against Zimbabwe, they improved their performance in the second match and succeeded in winning the match. Both the batsmen of the Bangladesh team, Shadman Islam and Mehidy Hasan Miraz, batted patiently, due to which both of them were able to score centuries, they scored 444 runs. However, Zimbabwe team could not bat well at all, rather due to their poor batting performance, they lost by a huge margin of 106 runs. The bowling performance of the Bangladesh team was extraordinary, especially Mehidy Hasan Miraz, he played very well, he scored a century in batting and five wickets in bowling, which was really interesting. However, such a great performance of the Bangladesh team has given them more confidence, however, they will try to play better in the next match to win the series.

The way these folks crumbled in the 2nd test, shows how badly almost everyone in their playing XI lacked experience.

When you are behind the game and trying to avoid inning defeat towards the end of the day. The best thing you can do for your moral is to delay your defeat.It would've been great for them if they had batted out the last session. It also includes wasting time and frustrate opposition but you need experience for this.

[Just Say]

Mehidy Hasan Miraz has made a significant contribution for Bangladesh in this match which I appreciate. So far Mehidy Hasan Miraz is unbeaten on 102 runs. However, so far Bangladesh have scored 442 runs for the loss of 9 wickets and Bangladesh have given a lead of 215 runs. I appreciate Tanzim Hasan Sakib's performance. Tanzim Hasan Sakib got out for 41 runs. Let's see how many runs Bangladesh can give a lead.

Coincidentally it is true, we can see that Mehidy Hasan Miraz has a total of four centuries in his international career. Which includes two centuries in Tests and two centuries in ODIs but his last Test century came against Zimbabwe. Mehedi Hasan Miraj took five wickets in each innings of the Sylhet Test against Zimbabwe, and we even observed him taking five wickets in the second Test match. Seeing the margin of defeat of the Zimbabwe team in this match, I was reminded of a match five years ago in which they were defeated by the same margin, that is they were defeated by 106 runs. Maybe Miraj is being praised by everyone for his century and 5 wickets because he has added himself to Ian Botham's record.

Of course, Bangladesh performed comparatively well in the second match. They could not be as strong as they needed to be against a weak team like Zimbabwe. I have no negative comments about Bangladesh's bowling department, because their bowling department is quite good. But the main problem is their batting lineup. Their bowlers perform well on the pitch, but the batters disappoint most of the time. Due to their weak batting lineup, Bangladesh has not yet become a world-class team. Their bowling lineup is stronger than any team. If their batting lineup was stronger, they could have competed against strong teams like India, Australia or England. I think this problem of Bangladesh will be solved very soon.

[Mahdirakib]

Mehedi Hasan Miraj and Taijul Islam can bat fairly well, so if they can bat well, Bangladesh's lead will definitely go beyond 100 runs. However, with Mushfiqur Rahim's run-out and Zakir Ali's early dismissal today, Bangladesh will be about 50 runs short of their score. However, it is not certain that the batsmen who are left behind, apart from Mehedi Hasan Miraj and Taijul Islam, will be able to add runs to Bangladesh's score.

Taijul Islam performance was average, but Miraz had played a great innings. Bangladesh had managed to take the lead of 217 runs for the good batting of Miraz. Tanzim Hasan Sakib has surprised everyone by playing a good innings. The 8th and 9th wicket partnership was too good and completely unexpected. Bangladesh have managed to win the match by an innings and 106 runs for those two wicket partnerships.

[Webetcoins]

The partnership between Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Tanzim Hasan Sakib is taking the lead beyond 200 for Bangladesh. And the Zimbabwean bowlers have failed spectacularly. Ideally more overs could have been given to the most successful bowler - Vincent Masekesa. But the Zimbabwe captain was relying on Wellington Masakadza and Blessing Muzarabani. It will be quite difficult for Zimbabwe to avoid an innings defeat here. But don't forget the fact that they won the first match. So the series will be drawn at 1-1.

Test matches are still having plenty of beauty to watch no one was expecting result like this going to happen while 279 to 7 and then 444 for 10 what a comeback by lower order for Bangladesh as Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Tanzim Hasan Sakib make things possible.

After having this big score and huge lead Bangladesh bowlers done good job and took early wickets which bring Zimbabwe under pressure, and they fail to fight back with have big collapse which give them big defeat in this second test match at Chattogram this could be big booster for them while they were badly down and out in first test after losing easily.

[CryptoBuds]

Miraz and Shadman's centuries have enabled Bangladesh to post a huge total of 444. To be honest, this was unexpected for me. After Bangladesh lost their seventh wicket for 279 runs, I did not think that the team would be able to post even 350. However, Bangladesh have posted a huge total of 444. Tanzim Shakib's 41-run innings was also very necessary. Shakib has helped Miraz a lot.

Bangladesh have taken a huge lead of 217 runs. I think Bangladesh will win by an innings. Zimbabwe will not be able to post 200+ in the second innings. Zimbabwe have already lost 2 wickets for just 8 runs. Taijul has taken both wickets. This Bangladesh spinner had taken 6 wickets in the first innings as well.

Wow what an amazing comeback for Bangladesh getting to 444 runs after losing their seventh player at 279 is really impressive so it makes sense why you did not expect that to happen. Miraz and Shadman must have played incredibly well to score centuries and Tanzim Shakib 41 runs were also super important in helping Miraz and getting team to such high score. That partnership after they lost their seventh player really changed game.
Now Bangladesh has huge lead of 217 runs and Zimbabwe has already lost 3 players for only 24 runs in their second turn to bat. It looks like your guess that Bangladesh will win so it is going to be true.

I could not have imagined that Bangladesh would win by such a big margin. In the second innings, Bangladeshi bowlers, especially Taijul and Miraz, bowled brilliantly. As a result, Zimbabwe's innings was restricted to just 111 runs. Taijul took 6 wickets in the first innings and 3 wickets in the second innings. Miraz took 5 wickets in the second innings.

Bangladesh won by an innings and 106 runs. A memorable victory for Bangladesh. However, the defeat in the first match was a shame for Bangladesh. Bangladesh lost at home against a team like Zimbabwe. Bangladeshi players are talented. However, the team will become stronger if they can bring some consistency in their performance.

Yeah In the second test game Bangladesh defeated Zimbabwe with a historic performance. In the first inning after first wicket was lost at 41 runs Nick Welch was the one down player with 54 runs giving wicket to Taijul Islam. The highest scorer was Sean Williams with 67 runs and after his wicket has lost,Zimbabwe could score just 227 runs in the first inning. Taijul Islam's extraordinary bowling brought him 6 wickets. Bangladesh's first partnership was of 118 runs where Shaman Islam contributed 120 runs. Bowling performance by Zimbabwe was going great until Mehidy Hasan Miraz scored 104 runs, destroying the bowling lineup and ending this inning with 444 runs. Zimbabwe came under pressure when first two wickets were lost at just 8 runs. Bangladesh proved it the best team in this test game because their bowlers just astonished the opponent team. Zimbabwe scored just 111 runs in second inning, losing this game by 106 runs.

[Sithara007]

The big win in second match doesn't take away the pathetic performance from Bangladesh in the first test match. Afterall, they were playing in a dustbowl, which was tailored to the needs of their spinners. Losing against Zimbabwe, who are performing even below the top associates at the moment is definitely not good news. Overdependence on home conditions can't be sustained for long. If Bangladesh wants to be considered seriously by other full members, then they should start winning against pig-3 in away conditions.

Still they would be satisfied that they have won the test and leveled the series. Remember they were 1-0 down before the start of this match and there were possibilities (seeing the previous test performances) that they may have lost this one too. A win is a win, and I am not taking away any credit from them. Yes, Bangladesh needs to improve their cricket but then it all starts with a win 

Also everyone takes advantage of the home conditions so why not Bangladesh? Mehidy Hasan Miraz was a perfect example here who took five wickets in the 2nd innings and overall he took 15 wickets in this series and was the player of the series.

This will not happen if Bangladesh performs well at home, but rather, Bangladesh should win at foreign venues. Bangladesh usually perform well at their home venues, batting on spin-friendly pitches, but they need to improve the performance of their spinners as well as their pacers. Bangladesh's performance is not at all advantageous as the pacer-dependent pitches at foreign venues are usually not conducive. Therefore, Bangladesh should compete well with high-level teams to show their best.

Bangladesh is stronger than Zimbabwe but they could not prove their strength. They could not win the series due to one loss in the two-match series. Every country has an advantage at home but drawing the series against a weak team exposed the weakness of Bangladesh. If Bangladesh had batted the way they did in the first match, they would have won. Bangladesh did not show the seriousness they were in the second Test match. Everyone in the Bangladesh team played well in the second Test, especially Shadman Islam and Mehidy Hasan Miraz both scored centuries. It is not difficult to guess that if the series had been 3 matches, Bangladesh would have won easily the series.

Actually I think this will be common expectations of everyone that they expected that Bangladesh would be winner of this series. But what you said I will also say the same thing they made worst batting performance in the first match as even it was their home ground. And that was also the main reason of their loss.

Anyway, at least won the second match Even I would say they did much prettier performance in the second match also I was expected that Bangladesh team would not gonna do the same mistakes in the second match as well they also did good batting in the second match. Moreover, I think that test series should be played with three matches instead of just two, where the competition is good and the matches do not end in a draw. For example, in this series, we saw a draw because there were two matches.

Bangladesh is normally good at there home ground but this time Zimbabwe was able to draw a test series against them. Zimbabwe was in good position in first innings of second test but they lost last 7 wickets for just 50 runs. Bangladesh was quite serious in second test and that was evident from their first innings batting. Winning against big-3 on their home ground is quite difficult for team like Bangladesh who is playing test cricket for almost 25 years now but still no noticeable test performance is seen from them.

[bitcoin_mining]

Bangladesh, who lost to Zimbabwe in the first Test match, defeated Zimbabwe by an innings and 104 runs in the second Test match. After losing to Zimbabwe in the first Test match, there was a lot of criticism about Bangladesh because Bangladesh lost to a team like Zimbabwe on their home ground. Many said that Bangladesh, who lost to Zimbabwe in the first match, could lose to Zimbabwe in the second Test match as well and if that happens then it would be a great shame but Bangladesh kept their standards and they secured a big win in the second match. However, one Bangladesh player cannot be thanked for this match and the entire series, that player is Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Because this all-rounder performed excellently with the ball and also contributed a lot with the bat.

[Shishir99]

Their bowling lineup is stronger than any team. If their batting lineup was stronger, they could have competed against strong teams like India, Australia or England. I think this problem of Bangladesh will be solved very soon.

Watch your mouth, bro. Make sure you know what you are saying (writing). Yes, I do agree that they sometimes perform well in bowling, they have been doing well in bowling, but that does not mean they are stronger than any team. Do you think Bangladesh's current bowling lineup is better than India's and Australia's? I don't think so. A team can beat any other team on its good day, but that does not mean Bangladesh has more capabilities than India or Australia.

Speaking of the Batting lineup, they have been terrible for the last two or three years. They were doing well in ODIs a few years ago, but since Shanto got the captaincy, he dragged the team into the middle of the ocean.

[Just Say]

Bangladesh who is playing test cricket for almost 25 years now but still no noticeable test performance is seen from them.

Your accusative sentence against Bangladesh cricket is perhaps very shameful  because they have been playing Test cricket for 25 years and their statistics are not improving. But in their long journey, they have not yet achieved success, meaning they have not yet been able to defeat two countries in the Test format. Moreover to my knowledge, the Bangladesh cricket team has probably won the most Test matches against the Zimbabwean team participating in this ongoing series. Maybe everyone should look at Bangladesh's overall results and everyone might be shocked to see their winning percentage in the Test format.

After losing to Zimbabwe in the first Test match, there was a lot of criticism about Bangladesh because Bangladesh lost to a team like Zimbabwe on their home ground.

However, one Bangladesh player cannot be thanked for this match and the entire series, that player is Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Because this all-rounder performed excellently with the ball and also contributed a lot with the bat.

Bangaldesh won the second test match. They lost the first game against Zimbabwe which embarrassed them but this time they took revenge and won the game with a massive margin. Now, this small series has been finished in a level 1 - 1.
 
I think Bangladesh needs to improve their team, they have not been doing well in recent years, often losing against India and Pakistan. Pakistan and India are good teams, so losing in front of them is not a big deal. However, losing with Zimbabwe is so bad. Bangladesh needs to improve and understand the recent cricket trends.
