However, Ngarava's stint came to an end as Hossain bowled a stunning delivery to dismiss the batter for 10 off 3. Zimbabwe needed 5 runs in 1 ball, Hossain then removed Blessing Muzarabani. It appeared that Bangladesh had won by four runs, the players and players were seen shaking hands, and everyone had returned to the dugout.
Interestingly, the replays revealed that the keeper had really picked up the ball in front of the stumps, hence the ball was later declared a no-ball.Zimbabwe needed four runs in 1 ball but the batters could not do much about the no-ball as Mosaddek Hossain kept his cool to deliver a stunning ball that Muzarabani could not read and failed to connect. The players eventually came back, though, and Bangladesh eventually secured a three-run victory
