Inept Zimbabwe shot out for 44

Despite two big wins in the previous two matches Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan had been unhappy with his team's performance, demanding an improved show. He can have little to complain about after Bangladesh's bowlers demolished Zimbabwe for 44, the fifth lowest total in one-dayers. It could have been even more embarrassing for the visitors had Bangladesh not grassed three catches.

After three games in Mirpur the action shifted to Chittagong, where the pitch offered plenty of turn and bounce, but Zimbabwe can't use that as an excuse as most of the wickets were due to some poor shot selection from the batsmen rather than due to gremlins in the track.
