Consolation win for Bangladesh in final Zimbabwe ODI

HARARE (Agencies): Bangladesh`sTanzid Hassan fell narrowly short of a century as he guided his team to a seven-wicket victory over hosts Zimbabwe in their third Oneday International here at the Harare Sports Club on Saturday. It was a consolation win for Bangladesh, who lost the opening two games of the three-match series. Tanzid scored 94 before skying the ball for a catch at long on as he tried to hit a match-winning six. But his 151-run first-wicket partnership with Soumya Sarkar saw Bangladesh most of the way home as they chased down Zimbabwe`s 199 off 48.1 overs and secured victory with 84 balls to spare. The home side were put in to bat with Wessly Madhevere top-scoring 75 and Brad Evans hitting 50 after losing early wickets cheaply, with Shoriful Islam taking 4-44. The two countries will now play a threematch Twenty20 International series starting in Bulawayo on Wednesday.
