Bangladesh amazing to win series against Zimbabwe

After a disappointing performance in the last match, touring Bangladesh meets Zimbabwe in the 4th ODI of the five-match Grameenphone Cup Series tday (Sunday) at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo hoping seal the series with one match in hand.

The winning streak of new look Bangladesh, under the captaincy of energetic Shakib Al Hasan, was halted Friday as the Bengal Tigers conceded 69-run defeat in the 3rd ODI against Zimbabwe, which made record score of 323 against Bangladesh and also at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo.

The hope of Bengal Tigers to win the eighth consecutive ODI match did not materialize following their frustrating defeat in the 3rd ODI although they whitewashed West Indies 3-0 last month and earned a deserving eight-wicket and 49-run victory over hosts Zimbabwe in the first two matches of the ongoing series.

Bangladesh, however, has a fair chance of clinching the ODI series for the third successive time in a calendar year if they can beat Zimbabwe in Sunday's 4th ODI match. Bangladesh earned a 2-1 win over Zimbabwe in Dhaka last January and a 3-0 victory over West Indies last month.
