Bangladesh clinched the T20 series against Zimbabwe by beating the hosts in the third and final cricket match in Harare on Sunday.
The Tigers completed their second highest run chase in a Twenty20 international to beat Zimbabwe by five wickets.
Youngster Shamim Hossain struck unbeaten 31 runs off 15 balls after opener Soumya Sarkar gave the Tigers a positive start by scoring 68 runs off 49 balls.
Bangladesh reached 194-5 in 19.2 overs, sealing a 2-1 series victory and finishing their Zimbabwe tour with a hat-trick of trophies.
Bangladesh earlier won the preceding one-off Test series and three-match one-day international series by 1-0 and 3-0 margin respectively and Sunday’s series win against Zimbabwe is their only T20 series victory on the Zimbabwean soil.
