What a lovely day of cricket here in Zimbabwe, thank you for being
with us here on Cricinfo, please stay with our commentary while we
wait for the Man of the Match is decided
The winning, Zimbabwe, get a cheque for $100,000 Zim dollars for
being the victors, captain Heath Streak receives the cheque
Bowler Brian Strang gets the Man of the Match award, after superb
form here on his home ground in the Logan Cup, he returned to his
home ground to perform admirably with the ball, well done to Brian
on his return to ODI cricket
Tough decision for judge Aamir Sohail, but he finally decided on
the strength of Brian's performance
Thank you for being with us, please be with us tomorrow, the second
game, to see if Zimbabwe can sweep the series here in their
traditional home ground, or if Bangladesh can pull of an upset and
level the series. Thank you again, have a good night. Fr
