Despite five-wicket haul of Miraj and excellen efforts from Nahid Rana with 3 wickets, Bangladesh still finds themselves trailing by 25 runs at the end of day two of the Sylhet test.
On the first day of the ongoing Test match against Zimbabwe in Sylhet, Bangladesh's batting frailties came to light. After winning the toss and choosing to bat, they were bowled out for 191 runs in 61 overs, failing to last the full day. In response, Zimbabwe ended the day on 67 runs, still without losing a wicket. Bennett was unbeaten on 40 from 37 balls, while Curran contributed 17 off 49 balls.
Bangladesh wrapped up their Women’s World Cup Qualifiers campaign with a defeat, losing to hosts Pakistan by 7 wickets on Saturday (April 19). Despite the loss, they secured a spot in the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup. In another match, West Indies claimed a 6-wicket win over Thailand but still fell short of qualification. Both teams finished with 6 points, but West Indies were edged out due to a lower net run rate.
As the Bangladesh-Zimbabwe Test series kicks off tomorrow in Sylhet, there is little buzz surrounding the contest. No private television network has shown interest in broadcasting the matches live, and fans are largely indifferent to the outcome. Over time, a significant gap has developed between the two teams, and many view a Bangladesh victory as inevitable. However, historical statistics suggest the series could be more competitive than anticipated
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) failed to secure a buyer for the media rights of the two-match Test series between Bangladesh and Zimbabwe. Consequently, the series will be broadcast on state-owned Bangladesh Television (BTV).
