Bangladesh beat Zimbabwe by six wickets in a One Day International cricket match played at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo this Friday.
Bangladesh's win means they have reduced arrears as the match had been reduced to dead rubber after Zimbabwe won the series on Tuesday.
Bangladesh won the toss and elected to field.
It was a forgettable day for Zimbabwe's batsmen who struggled for runs save for Captain Brendon Taylor who scored his fourth ODI century.
Zimbabwe were bowled out for 199 in 48.2 overs.
Chasing a target of 200, the tourists made light work of Zimbabwe's bowling line up which had Brian Vitori missing.
Vitori had been rested for the match. Bangladesh reached the target in 36.4 overs to reduce the deficit to 3-1.
The two teams meet in the final ODI game on Sunday at the same venue.
