Overview
- Bangladesh posted 186 for 5 and then bowled Zimbabwe out for 152 to win by 34 runs in the second T20I at Queens Sports Club on Friday, July 17.
- Leg‑spinner Rishad Hossain took a career‑best 4-26 and off‑spinner Mahedi Hasan added 3-24 to break crucial partnerships and finish the chase.
- Openers Tanzid Hasan (58) and Saif Hassan (55) put on a 120‑run opening stand that built the total and allowed Bangladesh to defend effectively.
- Zimbabwe had taken the series lead in the opener thanks to four‑wicket hauls from Richard Ngarava and Blessing Muzarabani and had already won the tour Test and the ODI series.
- The series decider will be played at Queens Sports Club on Sunday, July 19, on a pitch that offers early seam assistance before slowing later, which makes the toss and early use of pace and spin tactically important.
