The team was abandoned by 17 runs and two wickets in the hosts. Even before that, it could have been two more wickets before, even if the individual got rid of Imrul Kayes' catch by 7 runs and Sikandar Raja was able to make Liton Talubandi on personal 2 runs.Hamilton Masakadza, the team's captain, seems to have pushed Zeebbhai out of the orbital winnings of the two captains.

"I felt that the misses of those catches pushed us back to our back foot," he said at the match press conference. If we did not do that, then the picture could have been different. But there will always be no more. Never again. We were not really talking today."We just have to make sure that we can come out of the next match and we can make ourselves look a little bit better than today.

The second match of the series will be held at Chittagong's Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium on October 24.
