Whittall guides Zimbabwe to 8-wicket win<\/p>\n
HARARE (Agencies): Guy Whittall scored a valuable 60 to guide
\nZimbabwe to an eight-wicket win over Bangladesh in the second
\ntest on Monday.<\/p>\n
The match was all over an hour after lunch on the final day
\nwhen Zimbabwe reached 100 for two with Stuart Carlisle on 29 not
\nout and Alistair Campbell on nought.<\/p>\n
Opener Whittall and Carlisle shared 57 for the second wicket
\nto set up the 2-0 series whitewash.<\/p>\n
Bangladesh, resuming at 219-5, had been dismissed in their
\nsecond innings for 266 after 15 overs of the morning session.<\/p>\n
The last four wickets went for two runs in the space of four
\novers with fast bowler Brighton Watambwa showed plenty of pace
\nand aggression in taking four for 64.<\/p>\n
Top-scorer Habibul Bashar went in the sixth over of the
\nmorning when he edged an away-swinger from Heath Streak to be
\ncaught behind by wicketkeeper Andy Flower.<\/p>\n
Bashar's 76, his second half-century of the match, was the
\nproduct of three-and-a-half hours at the crease in which he faced
\n132 balls and hit nine fours.<\/p>\n
Six overs later Naimur Rahman was run out for 36 by substitute
\nfielder Gavin Rennie, who sprinted from forward short leg to mid-
\non before throwing to the bowler's end to complete the dismissal.<\/p>\n
Two balls after that Enamul Hoque succumbed for three to a
\nregulation caught behind catch off Watambwa, followed three overs
\nlater by Mohammad Sharif being well held by Carlisle at second
\nslip off Streak for a duck.<\/p>\n
Five balls later, Manjural Islam was caught behind off
\nWatambwa without scoring to end the innings.<\/p>\n
Zimbabwe had reached lunch on 33 without loss although two
\nballs into the second session Dion Ebrahim was run out for 10 by
\nJaved Omar's throw from third man.<\/p>\n
Five balls before the winning runs were struck, Whittall was
\nbowled around his legs by left-arm spinner Hoque.<\/p>\n
Zimbabwe won the first test by an innings and 32 runs.<\/p>\n
In a separate development, it was reported from Melbourne,
\nAustralia that India has yet to confirm it will play a one-day
\nseries indoors here in August, the Australian Cricket Board said
\nMonday.<\/p>\n
\"A number of things need to be sorted out ... we're still
\nwaiting to confirm the opposition,\" a board spokesman said.<\/p>\n
India has a tight overseas schedule for the rest of the year.<\/p>\n
A Super Challenge series last August against South Africa at
\nthe Colonial Stadium made history as the first official
\ninternational cricket matches played indoors.<\/p>\n
The three-game series ended in a one-all draw, after the
\nsecond match finished in a tie.<\/p>",
