Bangladesh beat Zimbabwe in Twenty20
Nov 13, 2015 - 2:32 PM Malcolm Waller scored a rapid-fire 50 but Bangladesh dismissed Zimbabwe for 131 runs in the first Twenty20 international of a two-match series in Dhaka on Friday.Waller struck a total of 68 off 31 balls as Zimbabwe looked to have recovered from a disastrous start before Bangladesh bowlers hit back to end the visitors' innings in 19.3 overs.
Mashrafe Mortaza and Al-Amin Hossain struck early to help Bangladesh reduce Zimbabwe to 10-3 inside three overs before Sean Williams (15) and Craig Ervine (20) offered some resistance.
Waller joined Ervine after spinner Nasir Hossain bowled Williams to leave Zimbabwe tottering at 38-8.
Waller launched an immediate counter attack to take 17 runs off debutant leg-spinner Jubair Hossain's first over.
He then scored 20 off the next over by Nasir and completed his 50 off just 20 balls, Zimbabwe's quickest in Twenty20 internationals.
Waller, who hit a total of four fours and sixes, was eventually dismissed by Mustafizur Rahman as Liton Das took a catch at deep midwicket.
Mustafizur claimed 2-16 while Mortaza, Al-Amin and Jubair each grabbed two wickets for 20 runs.
The second match of the series will be held at the same venue on November 15.
