Twitter Reactions: Spirited Zimbabwe stun Bangladesh to register a thrilling win in the 2^nd T20I: Bangladesh have been one a winning note this year and have beaten the best opponents at their home, giving away literally no chance to any of them. And as Zimbabwe flew in to play 3 ODIs and 2 T20Is after losing the ODI and Twenty20 series to Afghanistan at home, very few backed the African boys. The series turned out in a similar fashion as the hosts won all of the 4 games they played before today, in 3 ODIs and a T20I.

It was their last chance to go back with a consolation win and the Zimbabweans put up an exciting show to beat Bangladesh by 3 wickets in the 2^nd and the final T20I of the series. The match started positively for Zimbabwe as their pacers nailed the home batsmen and restricted them to 135 in 20 overs, a score which looked 30 short of a winning total even before the start of the chase.

For Zimbabwe Luke Jongwe and Malcolm Waller batted well, scoring 34 and 40 respectively. But it was not without a late outburst from Neville Madziva who scored 28 that Zimbabwe won the match to level the series 1-1, with that both the teams shared the honors and it turned out to be a historic result for them.

Brief Scores:

Bangladesh – 135/9 (Anamul Haque 47, Tamim Iqbal 21, Tinashe Panyangara 3/30, G Cremer 2/21)

Zimbabwe – 136/7 (Malcolm Waller 40, Luke Jongwe 34, Neville Madziva 28, Al-Amin Hossain 3/20, Mustafizur Rahman 1/12)

Zimbabwe won by 3 wickets and a ball in hand.

Here are the Tweets from the match in the Twitter Reactions:
