Zimbabwe failed to cross the line by just a margin of three runs against Bangladesh
Speaking of the video, on the last delivery of that match, Zimbabwe needed five runs only. Mosaddek Hossein was bowling in that over for Bangladesh. For Zimbabwe, Blessing Muzarabani was batting. He tried to hit the ball coming down the track and completely missed it. Bangladesh wicketkeeper did not miss it as he completed an easy stumping.
After that, all players shook hands and were going to the dressing room. Then, third umpires checked that dismissal and confirmed that delivery as no-ball. Nurul collected the ball in front of the stumps and thus, Zimbabwe got a free hit and all players came back. But, Mosaddek Hossein remained calm as he managed to defend those four runs against Zimbabwe. Thus, Bangladesh managed to win the match over Zimbabwe by three runs only.
Fans were in utter shock after seeing such a drama over that last ball of the match. Bangladesh scored 150 runs for seven wickets in 20 overs. In reply, Zimbabwe scored only 147 runs for eight wickets in 20 overs. However, Taskin Ahmed won the player of the match award. He took three wickets for 19 runs in his four overs in the game.
