great to see Elton and Stuey playing solidly, taking the team home. the form of Matsikenyeri is another plus, so often he has been correctly criticised for his performances but he is playing very sensibly. big 6 by Chigumbura takes him to 50 and man of the match maybe. also great to hear dean du plessis, i've never heard him commentate before now

For those interested in the world rankings, that closes the gap between Zimbabwe and Bangladesh by 7 points - Bangladesh 54 (-4), Zimbabwe 30 (+3).

Well done the lads. Four more times, please...!

[zimfan1]

Now that was a sweet victory

Anyone think Waller should come in for Utseya? who wont be able to play for rest of tour if he has done is ligiments, then we have two pacers two spinners plus Chibabha and then Waller and Masakdza who can fill in for a few overs

A great win for Zimbabwe. A few years ago we wouldn't have recovered from a batting collapse and would have ended up all out for 130. It is great to see more maturity from the side, especially Stuart Matsikenyeri who finally seems to be living up to his potential.

Let's hope we can push on from this win and take the series.
