An unbeaten 49-run stand between Towhid Hridoy and Mahmudullah got the hosts across the finish line in a chase that proved to be a tricky one.
While chasing 139, Zimbabwe managed to strike early by claiming the wicket of series opener Player of the Match, Tanzid Hasan (18).
Skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto (16) and opener Litton Das (23) fell in quick succession but Bangladesh were always ahead of the required rate.

But Zimbabwe's hopes abated quickly as the spell of rain ended quickly and took away the visitors hopes as well.
Towhid and Mahmudullah expressed themselves and played freely to send Bangladesh 2-0 ahead in the series.
