Zimbabwe score 12/1 as rain plays spoil sport in practice match
CHITTAGONG, Oct 30, 2018 (BSS)- Rain played foul on the second day of the
lone three-day practice match of visiting Zimbabwe, against Bangladesh
Cricket Board (BCB) XI, as they scored 12 for 1 at stumps at Zahur Ahmed
Chowdhury Stadium here on Tuesday.
Skipper Hamilton Masakadza with 11 and Craig Ervine with 0 were on the
crease as the stumps were drawn for the day after Rubel Hossain struck early
removing opener Brian Chari for duck. Rubel took the lone wicket conceding
only two runs.
The match is clearly heading for a tame draw as rain almost consumed the
second day’s play after rain washed out the entire first day without a ball
being bowled.
The first Test of the two-match Test series between Bangladesh and
Zimbabwe will begin on November 3 in Sylhet. The visitors lost the three-
match ODI series 3-0 to Bangladesh.
