Openers, Mortaza set up 68-run win - chairman - 11-23-2014
Bangladesh overpowered Zimbabwe in the second ODI that saw the fortunes of both teams seesawing and consolidated their lead in the five-match series. Mashrafe Mortaza's three early wickets were followed by a grinding battle which continued till the 42nd over when the home side made the finishing move.
Zimbabwe weren't letting go of the chase until that point, particularly with Elton Chigumbura starting to open up with a flurry of boundaries. At that point, Sabbir Rahman's direct hit caught the Zimbabwe captain short of the crease, effectively ending their chances of a final assault at the 252-run target. They were eventually bowled out for 183 runs in 44.5 overs, the match ending with Arafat Sunny taking three wickets in one over.

Good for them that they won without Shakib contributing much, great that Mashrafe is back to some form with his bowling, he would be very crucial for them in the world cup.
