Mashrafe is leaking runs as usual. He can't even get wickets against Zimbabwe. Why is this old man not retiring?

Well played ZIM boys, really well played; a bit hard done on penultimate ball, which should have been wide. Sylhet is the best track to chase under lights and I was surprised for ZIM's collapse in last game, but chasing is the key here. Biggest achievement for ZIM is that there was hardly any contribution from their big 3 - Taylor & Williams; still they made BD sweat till last ball at home. I am sure they'll give a close fight again in 3rd game.

They have almost drawn a test series against SRL.

Shameful selection. Yeah, Mashrafe, Al Amin, Shafiul, what a world class bowling attack. Teams must be shaking in their boots seeing such attack.

Incredible ending.

It's good actually - you need to know your level & bench. This will bring Shoful & Tanzim in equation faster.
