Zimbabwe held the Bangladesh bowlers at bay for only 141 in their first match of the series.
Nahid Rana was the only bowler to be helpful, with best ever figures of 6/21, but it was for nothing.
However, 116 run fall was under their control as the hosts were stumped out of the powerplay.
Bangladesh have must win situation in today 2nd ODI. Lose and Zimbabwe win series. Bangladesh come into this match with their top bowlers, with Taskin and Shoriful back they should be more complete, but belief is going to be biggest problem after two defeats in the last two matches on this tour.

Bangladesh must win this match to level the series. In my opinion, there is no need to change Bangladesh's bowling line, rather they should strengthen their batting line because Bangladesh's bowlers did quite well in the first match. Currently, Bangladesh team lacks a good all-rounder, so Bangladesh management should think about it.

Anyway, Zimbabwe has done well in the last 5 matches between Bangladesh and Zimbabwe because in the last 5 head to head matches, Zimbabwe has won 3 matches and Bangladesh has won 2 matches. Currently, I have no confidence in Bangladesh team, I will not be surprised if Bangladesh loses this match too. However, Bangladesh has the ability to come back, so let's see if they can level the series.

All-rounder tag you mentioned is real call and 2nd ODI has begins. And now Bangladesh won the toss and they decided to ball first and now Zimbabwe is playing their turn. And they have lost one wickets at zero runs.
I will say that Bangladesh started really well and they will try to win the match. Because this is must win match for Bangladesh. So I hope they will play their best.

Even this match is do or die match for the Bangladesh team but still I have zero faith on the Bangladeshi batting lineup and the reason is also clear that they couldn't do well in the test match as well if we talk about the first match of this ODI series that was another worst performance from their batter so I think there is still possible if Bangladeshi bowler get Zimbabwean team all out before the 200 run still Bangladesh team could lose this match.
Now we don't have say anything, rather the Bangladeshi bowlers are doing in toadys match.

Bangladesh could not win the first match by just 142 runs. In today's match, Zimbabwe's batsmen were able to collect a big score of 247 runs. Bangladesh does not seem to have the ability to win by batting against such a big target on this pitch. The performance of Bangladeshi batsmen is always very weak and shaky. This pitch of Harare is not batting friendly. So the possibility of Bangladesh collecting 248 runs is low. Bangladesh is definitely going to lose the series.

Bangladesh has a good start in this second ODI, but sadly, the last 99-run partnership on just 80 balls between Ben Curran and Brad Evans has done good damage, with the last over of 22 runs hit by Brad Evans to Taskin Ahmad, which could be decisive for this match because now the target is 248, which is not easy for Bangladesh after watching their last ODI inning.

While Zimbabwe was on 66 for 4, things were looking good, but two big partnerships and a century from Ben Curran have changed the momentum in this match. Bangladeshi bowlers were not good in the last overs, giving up 85 runs without having any wickets in the last 10 overs.

Surely, it is a big achievement for Zimbabwe; now they have a better chance.

I thought Zimbabwe's innings would end before 200 runs. But Bangladeshi bowlers could not do well. With the help of unbeaten innings of Ben Curran and Bard Evans, Zimbabwe could collect 247 runs. Curran was unbeaten on 111 runs and Bard Evans was unbeaten on 58 runs off 38 balls. Bangladesh does not have the ability to win such a big target.

As usual, we can see the Bangladeshi batsmen batting like fools again. If they want to win a big target, the top order batsmen will have to play well. Bangladesh collected only 13 runs in 4 overs. And they lost the wicket of opener Soumyo.

Nahid Rana was a bit disappointing today, after his spell of 10-2-21-6 in the first match. And given the fact that Bangladesh got bowled out for just 116 in that match, the chances of a win today looks slim. BTW, Soumya Sarkar is already back in the pavilion. I don't understand why this guy is selected again and again despite his horrible international record. BTW, when Clive Madande got out, Zimbabwe were 148/6. And then they finished at 247/6, thanks to Brad Evans and Ben Curran (two players who are based in England). 40-year old Sikandar Raza also made a nice contribution.

Ben Curran played very well in this match and he made century in this match because he was prominent player in this match and he made 111 score in just 135 balls.  Brad Evans also played well in this match And he made half century in this match and he made 58 runs in just 38 balls and he played with strike rate of 152 in this match.Bangladesh International cricket team performance was good in this match and Hridoy made 60 runs in this match and he played for the team and today situation is two sided because both teams could win this match and Bangladesh team required only 72 score in this match to win this match and Zimbabwe team needed only 5 wickets to win this match.

If Nurul Hasan and Mehedi Hasan Miraj are out, Bangladesh will not have a reliable batsman, and Bangladesh will be more likely to lose. Bangladesh is relatively confident of winning, because so far Bangladesh has scored 195 runs for the loss of five wickets in 41 overs. Bangladesh needs only 53 runs from 54 balls, then Bangladesh will be able to secure victory, but Bangladesh's victory depends on these two wickets, Mehedi Hasan Miraj and Nurul Hasan.

Zimbabwe actually have an golden opportunity to win the series against Zimbabwe just they need to win one more game and the series is here, they must need to try to not to let Bangladesh to dominate the game even for a second, if we look  at the previous game the start and end was very different but this time if they will start to attack from the begin of the game, of course Bangladeshi players would come more under pressure and make bad moves.

[Mahdirakib]

A big shame for the Bangladesh cricket team, they have lost the ODI series too against Zimbabwe. It will be great if they get whitewashed in this series. They are performing very badly against Zimbabwe despite getting top class benefits. They aren't playing for the team anymore. BCB should cut the salaries of Bangladeshi players and give it as a gift to Zimbabwe players.

[virasog]

Indian coaches are trying to show a sense of positivity in the team because they knows better how to train the players and boost their confidence for the further games for example Gautam Gambhir has already explained the reason to Sanju Samson that why he is not in the playing 11 and at the same time, he said the conversation is private and will not be shared publicly. Meanwhile, he also praised Samson for his good performance in the World Cup, showing that he wants to spread positivity in the team

Bangladesh lost the second ODI also but they at least tried this time unlike in first ODI and in test match. Today it was Ben Curran partnership with Raza and Brad Evans that helped Zimbabwe in not only winning the match but series also. Ben Curran remained not out on 111 runs and was also awarded player of the match award. The difference in performance of both team is clearly visible and this series will help Zimbabwe team in getting more matches against more strong teams.

Bangladesh is relatively confident of winning, because so far Bangladesh has scored 195 runs for the loss of five wickets in 41 overs. Bangladesh needs only 53 runs from 54 balls, then Bangladesh will be able to secure victory, but Bangladesh's victory depends on these two wickets, Mehedi Hasan Miraj and Nurul Hasan.

Both these batsmen made a partnership of almost 100 runs, but in the end Bangladesh lost. They needed 13 runs which they could have achieved and they could have had a chance to victory the series, which they wasted and lost the series for themselves. The Zimbabwean team scored runs with a lot of hard work and effort and also bowled hard, which helped them win this match. Bangladesh could have easily victory this match because they had 2 overs in which 13 runs could have been scored easily if their batsmen had not lost all their wickets carelessly. The Zimbabwean team has now become enough good and strong, if they succeed in some series with more hard work, their strength will improve, which will help them a lot. Now the last match depends on the hard work and efforts of both of them. If Zimbabwe wins, then the opponent will be whitewashed and if they lose, then the victory of 2 matches.

Zimbabwe have won another series, this time in the ODIs, right after their Test series win, and against a Bangladesh side that had just beaten Australia in an ODI series at home. This Bangladesh team reminds me of how India dominated at home but completely struggled while touring during the 90s; they are a team that excels on spinning wickets at home but struggles elsewhere.

You are absolutely right that there has been some improvement in Bangladesh performance which is a great thing.This time Bangladesh lost closely.If the last batsmen had not been out early this 13 run gap would have been eliminated. But unfortunately due to the negligence of the last batsmen they missed this golden opportunity.The second match proves that if Bangladesh puts in a little effort they can defeat Zimbabwe.If the Zimbabwean captain had not dismissed 3 Bangladeshi batsmen Bangladesh would have easily achieved Zimbabwe target.It was very important to win this match to equalize Bangladesh lead because now Zimbabwe will defeat Bangladesh with a clean sweep in the series.

It is just like a disaster situation in the Bangladesh squad, especially on their batting performance who is saw the Bangladesh team batting performance in a very low effort from the  test series and as well right now we are also seeing the  bad batting performance from the Bangladeshi team in the ODI series also.

In the first inning I didn't expect that the Bangladesh team would not be able to cross that easy target and also in case of this match I was thought that maybe Bangladesh would win this match and as well also there were on that tract but in the main time there fall there wicket one by one so quickly

Like in the first match, in the second match, you will notice that the contribution of Bangladesh's top order batsmen was not as great as the failure of the lower order batsmen. This match was one of the main reasons for the defeat. But in the case of Zimbabwe, you can see that the good performance of Zimbabwe's lower order batsmen saved them from defeat in every match.Today,I thought that Bangladesh might be able to win, but unfortunately, Bangladesh lost today's match by 13 runs. This means that Bangladesh will be whitewashed in all three formats of the Zimbabwe tour, including Tests, ODIs and T20s.

[As-Soon-As]

Bangladesh team has lost two consecutive matches, if Bangladesh team performs like this then they will ruin their reputation. Whereas Zimbabwe team is not very strong they gave a target of only 247 runs. Bangladesh team failed to meet this target of 247 runs, Bangladesh team was careless in expanding their original pitch.
First they lost very badly and in the second match they lost by only thirteen runs but if Bangladesh team had continued to try properly and performed by controlling the wickets then they definitely had enough reasons to win this match. If Bangladesh team can win the third match then their reputation will be saved to some extent, besides Bangladesh team lost the ODI series.
