Zimbabwe edge out Bangladesh again to secure ODI series win

Another batting failure sees Bangladesh surrender the series with a match to spare

Zimbabwe beat Bangladesh by 13 runs in the second one-day international in Harare on Thursday to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.

Zimbabwe, who won the first game by 25 runs, scored 247-6 before dismissing Bangladesh for 234.

Opener Ben Curran batted through the Zimbabwe innings for an unbeaten 111 after the hosts had been put into bat, closing the innings with a 99-run unbeaten partnership with Brad Evans (58).

Tawhid Hridoy top-scored for the tourists with 60, but they were dismissed with 11 balls remaining as Zimbabwe captain Richard Ngarava took 3-55.

The final ODI will be on Saturday, followed by three Twenty20 internationals in Bulawayo.
