Bangladesh atleast needs to score more than 300 or more if they want Zimbabwe to struggle chasing. They still have three overs in hand but it seem their batters are struggling to score runs. Mahmudullah should now start work on increasing the run rate rather than thinking about losing his wicket. He needs to get some boundaries now. He has been on the pitch for quiet sometime now and has already got his half century.

Bangladesh have scored 290 runs in there first innings and which is quite a decent score. In reply Zim are 30/3 in 10 overs. Clearly Bangladesh are favorite at this point. From Bangladesh side star performer is Mahmudullah who scored 80 runs. Overall its a good batting from all Bangladesh batsmen.

Bangladesh scored only 290 in the second ODI. Although the run did not look reliable but Zimbabwe had already lost 4 wickets. The current situation is somewhat in favor of Bangladesh. Zimbabwe collect 55 runs from 17 overs. As cricket is uncertain anything can be happen. So we have to wait until the game will be finished.

Bangladesh VS Zimbabwe

The second ODI will be played today. Liton Das has been already declared unfit due to a hamstring injury and he might not be fit for the Asia Cup. The pitch will support the batters and with Liton Das out Bangladesh would need a good replacement batter for him. Sikandar Raza's batting was incredible in the first match I am expecting the same performance in this match too. It is an important match for Bangladesh as If they lose this match then they lose the series

If Bangladesh loses today's match then Bangladesh will face many problems.  So he has to win this match even if he is in trouble.  If they draw, they will lose this series tie.  There is a lot of pressure on Bangladesh now, will they be able to win today's match.  A few of his players are missing in today's match.  It will be very difficult for Bangladesh to win this match

I never imagined that Bangladesh will show such a bad performance against Zimbabwe. In the past, we have seen Bangladesh always perform well against Zimbabwe. But they lost in the T20 series. Bangladesh lost the first ODI despite giving away a target of more than 300. Today's pitch is also batting friendly. If they want to win, Bangladesh will have to give a target of more than 320. Otherwise, the Bangladesh team will suffer a shameful defeat in the ODI series like the T20 series.

I want to say, it is a do-or-die match for the Bangladesh team. They have to win this match by any means. Won an ODI series brilliantly against West Indies a few days ago. It is unbelievable that they will perform so poorly against a team like Zimbabwe. Bangladesh lost the previous match only because of the inefficiency of the bowlers. At the same time, Mushfiqur collected 17 runs off maybe 16 balls in the last 5 overs. We don't expect such a silly performance from an experienced batsman like him.

Here Mushfiqur Rahim being a top order batsman has basically collected 20 to 25 runs less for his half century. Moreover, the failure of Bangladeshi bowlers is another major reason. Bangladesh lost the first match due to some fielding errors. Let's wait and see how much Bangladesh can catch themselves in the second match.

Bangladeshi batsmen could not play well in the second match as well. Bangladesh's collection in the first 20 overs was 116 runs. And Bangladesh's innings ended on 290 runs. If the bowlers perform well, 290 runs will be enough to win. But if the bowlers show bad performance like in the first match then as usual Bangladesh is going to be defeated in this match as well.

Zimbabwe has lost 4 wickets within 50 runs. Still I'm not going to keep Bangladesh ahead in this match. Bangladeshi players have performed poorly than the expectations in the entire series. We have seen that how Zimbabwean players have won the previous match despite losing two early wickets. Sikandar Raza, the experienced player of Zimbabwe still batting in the field. He has the capability of turning the game if any other player support him to build a big partnership.

Zimbabwe collected 109 runs in 25 overs. Although the run rate is very low now. But as long as Sikander Raja is at the crease, I'd say Zimbabwe have a chance to win. Zimbabwe lost 4 wickets for 49 runs. Sikandar Raja and Chakabva's partnership of 60 runs. This pair is playing very well. Zimbabwe needs 182 runs to win in 25 overs.

Bangladesh is slowly heading towards defeat in the second ODI match as well. Bangladesh had given a target of 291 runs. Zimbabwe scored 30 runs for the loss of 3 wickets in the first 10 overs. And at the end of 30 overs, Zimbabwe scored 157 runs with the loss of 4 wickets. Sikander Raja and Regis Chakabva put up a partnership of 108 runs. If this pair cannot break, Bangladesh will lose this match too and will lose the ODI series like the T20 series. I did not think that I will see such a bad performance of Bangladeshi bowlers.

LOL.. once again it is Sikandar Raza. But the required run rate has now topped 7 runs per over. Both Raza and Chakabva needs to step up the scoring rate. Similar to what happened during the last match, this time also Bangladeshi bowlers got a good start and at one point Zimbabwe was struggling at 49/4. But then the partnership between Sikandar Raza and Regis Chakabva stabilized the situation. Even now, the match looks evenly poised. If Bangladeshi bowlers can bowl some tight overs, then they can get these batsmen under pressure.

The series can be sealed today if Zimbabwe chases down the total. There is hope for Zimbabwe fans as long as Sikandar Raza is still around. Raza and Chakabva have a good partnership, both are on the verge of centuries. Similarly to the first ODI, Bangladeshi bowlers have been unproductive, so how can they help Bangladesh level the series? Let's hope for the best.

[JSRAW]

Looks like Zim vs ban match is going down the wire. Zimbabwe formed a match winning partnership and Bongs literally don't have answer atm. Equation doesn't look daunting according to modern cricket, specially when you have 6 wickets in hand, along with inform batters digging at crease.

Bangladesh team is going to lose lot of fans tonight if they manage to lose this match and series. Management might find another reason to shit on players.

well done!!

zimbabwe was 49/4 at one point, how do they get from 49/4 to 250/5? the bowlers of bangladesh should give up playing cricket and go home and play SUDOKU or something

i thought it was a decent total, obviously, bangladesh could have got a few more runs but they should be able to defend a score of 290 against a team like zimbabwe, how will they stop the more powerful opponents if they can't even stop imbabwe? zimbabwe won very comfortably in the end and once again it was Sikandar Raza stealing the show and the match from bangladesh

Sikandar Raja and Regis Chakabva blew Bangladesh away today. After winning the T20 series, they also won the ODI series. This is a huge achievement for Zimbabwe. Chakabva scored 102 runs off 75 balls and got out. Sikandar Raja was unbeaten. Shariful and Taskin's bowling was very poor today. Bangladeshi bowlers are not doing well on Zimbabwe's pitch. Bangladesh team's performance is getting worse day by day. They are not winning against weaker teams now.

It was an upset today as Bangladesh were in good position they took 3 wickets quite early on. Its good that Zimbabwe team has spark and they can still beat teams like Bangladesh. Zimbabwe must try to rely on native players as Raza is not Zimbabwean rather a Pakistani immigrant.

Again poor balling performance from Bangladeshi ballers. It is true that the batsmen of Zimbabwe played well but Bangladeshi ballers have to learn a lot how to ball in right time. There are a lot of options for Bangladeshi batsmen to increase the total score. I am totally dissatisfied with the performance of Bangladesh team.

[Newlifebtc]

This cricket game a game that haven't play in My Life I want to really learn how to play this cricket and have I seen that that this particular game cannot be found everywhere so therefore I believe that anyone that play the game we are actually I will make a little bit for feels like casino games

[pakhitheboss]

Bangladesh totally banged by Sikander Raza and Zimbabwe. As said earlier this team is totally ruined in every format of cricket. I do not rely on point table but I do understand win/loss. What a pathetic performance once again by Bangladesh. As expected 290 was too low score on a pitch that allows skilled batters to scor runs. Sikandar & Regis proved it. What an incredible performance by Zimbabwe!

Bangladesh should have scored a lot more. And they are not going for enough big shots I think. On this pitch, a team like Zimbabwe is scoring 291 very comfortably. But Bangladesh batters are trying to play safe and eventually wasting balls. And there is no way the 5th partnership of Zimbabwe should have been that long. Sadly Bangladesh cricket board has an excuse ready I think which is “Bangladesh didn't play their first team” bullshit.

[romero121]

Raza, a big player for Zimbabwe. Scored 100+ runs as well as took 3 wickets allowing 56 runs bowling 10 overs. Even in this match Bangladesh might've never thought of Zimbabwe winning the first match and now it is once again a big blow. Bangladesh needs to come up strong in the third ODI, if not a whitewash is gonna happen.

Bangladesh team needs a lot of hard work to come up as a stronger team...
Everytime after a match they face so much criticism and there is so much suggestions and ideas coming from the people who might not have played cricket but think they are expert of their field.

If it is an individual and he is just representing himself then it is quite okay that no one gives suggestion. The team is representing a country and this means they are playing on favour of the entire population of the nation. This gives them the right to make criticism and give suggestions, and even we are not expert on it. But, looking the performance and mistakes done our mind says he should've done that change by then and it could've increased the winning chance. This is just an assumption, same is with others.
