UNB, Dhaka :
After a chaotic and dramatic last over in Brisbane, Bangladesh beat Zimbabwe by three runs in their third match of the T20 World Cup 2022 on Sunday.
In the last two overs, Zimbabwe needed 26 runs with five wickets in hand. They had Ryan Burl and Sean Williams at the crease.
In the last over, Zimbabwe needed 16 to seal the match. Mosaddek Hossain, who had conceded 27 runs in his first three overs, came to bowl the last over. He scalped two wickets conceding 12 runs.
The match ended in a dramatic fashion when Mosaddek delivered a no-ball after the fifth delivery that sent Richard Ngarava back. Blessing Muzarabani swung the bat but missed. Nurul Hasan collected the ball and stumped him. But Nurul collected the ball before the stumps and the umpire called it a no-ball.
