Bulawayo: Charles Coventry made the joint highest individual score in an ODI but his effort was outweighed by a sparkling, cool-headed century from Tamim Iqbal, who broke the record for the most runs made in an innings by a Bangladesh batsman.
Coventry's blockbuster innings pushed Zimbabwe beyond 300, far more than Bangladesh have chased before, but the visitors were rarely troubled as they hunted down the target to take their third consecutive series.
Bangladesh win the match by four wickets. With that victory, they also clinch the five-match ODI series 3-1. After Coventry's 194 not-out was the talk of the cricket hemisphere, Bangladesh needed a similar effort to reach its target of 313 runs.
One man needed to stay put and anchor the ship and Tamim Iqbal stood up to the task. With Zunaed Siddique giving him company at the top of the order, Iqbal did not need to worry about getting off to a blitzkrieg start. Instead, he paced his innings beautifully and only went after the bad deliveries.
Siddique again failed to capitalize on a quick start. Raquibul Hasan played the perfect supporting role with a patient 35. Together Iqbal and Hasan played a patient, waiting game. They never went after the bowling, ran hard and made sure they had wickets left for the final onslaught. Iqbal brought up his second century with a flourish and then went after the bowling. He reached his 150 in quick-time and was in a hurry to finish off the match during the final Power Play overs. However, aggression got the better of him and he fell for a splendid 154. By then, he had already ensured that his team was on the doorstep of victory.
Brief Score: Bangladesh 313 for 6 (Tamim 154, Price 3-60) beat Zimbabwe 312 for 8 (Coventry 194*) by four wickets
