1.10pm Bangladesh will be the happier side, but Zimbabwe will not be too disappointed taking everything into consideration and how they batted in the first ODI. Five middle-order batters got starts, but only one of them got to fifty and that's why their score is just about par here. Taylor could've got that big score, but he was out in bizarre circumstances (read here).
Madhevere's 56, his highest in ODIs, ensured their bowlers have something to bowl at. Shoriful the pick of the bowlers with his four for. And the pitch has no apparent demons, so Bangladesh will feel that this is their game to lose when they return for the chase.
