Tafadzwa Kamungozi and John Nyumbu kept it tight for five overs as they only leaked 14 runs.They both bowled to tight lines but still couldn’t manage to get the breakthrough.

Kamungozi, the leg-spinner was introduced in the ninth over of the match.  Panyangara and Chatara opened the bowling for Zimbabwe. There were three boundaries struck in the first five overs- two by Anamul Haque and one by Tamim Iqbal.
