(Will Bangladesh complete a 5-0 whitewash, or can Zimbabwe pull one back? Catch live cricket scores of the fifth ODI here)
There it is! Bangladesh have completed a 5-0 humiliation of Zimbabwe as they win this game by a margin of five wickets!
Bangladesh are cruising to a win and a clean sweep unless they lose few more wickets and land up in trouble. 17 runs needed now.
OUT!!!! It’s the skipper, Mushfiqur Rahim who departs for just 11 as Bangladesh lose half of their side while chasing just 129. However, they are pretty near to chase it down as they need 35 from 31 overs.
OUT! Mushfiqur Rahim 11(23) c Taylor b Chatara
Bangladesh are off to a shaky start but somehow manage to hold on to their grip and the gameplay as they look to chase down a real small total of 129 set by Zimbabwe after a disastrous batting display as both the team go in for lunch.
GONE!!!!! It’s the big one. It’s Shakib Al Hasan who departs without scoring anything. Full and wide from Panyangara, Shakib goes for a drive, edges it to first slip.
OUT! Shakib Al Hasan 0(8) c Masakadza b Panyangara
THIS IS GOING DOWN TO THE WIRE!!!! Bangladesh have lost three wickets within their powerplay phase of the opening 10 overs. with openers Tamim and Anamul along with Soumya Sarkar, all departing for 10, 8 and 20 respectively.

#BanvsZim 5th ODI LIVE: GONE! Jubaer strikes. Zimbabwe lost the wicket of Masakadza. He gone for 52. Zimbabwe 96/2. pic.twitter.com/69yRZpaTid
GONE!!!!!!! It’s the big man, Hamilton Masakadza who doesn’t last long and quickly departs after scoring his 25th ODI fifty and doesn’t last long to convert it to a big one. It’s skipper, Brendan Taylor who makes his way in.
OUT! Hamilton Masakadza 52(54) b Jubair Hossain
No harm done after an early setback to Zimbabwe in the form of Sikandar Raza as Sibanda and Masakdza are on a roll and near a 50-runpartnership for the second wicket. 50 comes up for the team as well.
GONE!!!!!! First breakthrough for Bangladesh and it’s Sikandar Raza who depart for a cheap nine of 14 deliveries. Outside off, Raza looks to play towards third man and edges it to keeper. Masakadza however looks on a roll here hitting boundaries all over the park.
OUT! Sikandar Raza 9(14) c Rahim b Mortaza
Sensible start to the Zimbabwean innings as openers Sikandar Raza and Hamilton Masakadza start off in a good fashion with three boundaries in the opening couple of overs.
