Bulawayo: Shakib Al Hasan performed with bat and ball to hand Bangladesh a comfortable 34 run win over Zimbabwe and ensure a drawn Twenty 20 series in Bulawayo on Sunday.
Bangladesh's victory in the second international levelled the series at 1-1 after Zimbabwe had won the opening match by six runs on Saturday. Shakib scored 40 runs after Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat in a vital 82-run second wicket partnership with opener Tamim Iqbal, who top scored with 43.
