Last ball drama sees Bangladesh seal thrilling 3-run win over Zimbabwe
Muzarabani seemed to have been stumped with 5 needed off 1, the players shook hands and went to their dugouts, only for the third umpire to have a look at where Nurul collected the ball - it was in front of the stumps and it was a no-ball. The players were called back to play that last ball, with it being a free-hit and license for Muzarabani to swing. But Mosaddek Hossain kept his cool and fired in a dot to end things for good this time.
Another heart-stopper of a game involving Zimbabwe and even better than the last one against Pakistan. Just behind the India-Pakistan game. The last over had more action than some other games as a whole.
Zimbabwe needed 16 runs in the last over and Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan handed the ball to Mosaddek Hossain. He picked up two wickets and did the job for the team as the Tigers sealed a thrilling 3-run victory against Zimbabwe in Brisbane.
