That&#39;s why we took time, I told my partner to do the same, after we are set we will execute,&quot; said player of the match Towhid Hridoy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Blessing Muzarabani claimed 3-14 for Zimbabwe, his career best figure, but his teammates struggled to contain the innings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Muzarabani bowled Liton Das for 12 as the opener shuffled across to play a paddle sweep, only to miss the line of the ball.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza bowled his counterpart Najmul Hossain Shanto for six to leave Bangladesh 29-2.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sikandar said in the post-match presentation that &quot;the top five including myself have to raise our hands for the failure&quot;.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Bangladesh have shown us that one guy can get set and the others can bat around him. This target was chasable,&quot; the skipper added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Jaker joined Towhid after Faraz scalped opener Tanzid Hasan for 21 to help Bangladesh shift gear.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Muzarabani bowled Towhid and Jaker in the space of three balls in the penultimate over.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bangladesh won the opening two matches to lead the five-match series 2-0.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3S7973z\">Join Our WhatsApp Channel For IPL 2024 Updates<\/a><\/p><p>The final two matches of the series will be played in Dhaka on Friday and Sunday.<\/p>\r\n",
