Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza chose to bat first after winning the toss in the second and last T20I against Zimbabwe at the Sher-e-Bangla Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka. Albeit Bangladesh eventually were able to pile up a fighting total of 135 for the loss of 9 wickets, their approach looked nowhere near dominating throughout the innings and the scoreboard certainly failed to vindicate Mashrafe's decision to bat first on a dolice pitch.

Almost all the batsmen of the homeside stymied by a rejuvenated Zimbabwe attack. Bangladesh were always in trouble after recklessly throwing wickets in search of quick runs. The pitch also played a vital role in restricting the home batsmen from playing big shots. It was evident that despite being the hot favourites for the match, Bangladesh batsmen lacked in their confidence level. However, amidst all these failures, Anamul Haque Bijoy was the exception and offered some much needed resistance.

Bijoy too was quite nervous in the middle and that he is under huge pressure after being dismissed cheaply in the previous match was clearly understandable. But still he was able to remain in the middle for almost throughout his coming the crease to the ultimate over and he quite successfully kept one end firm. He played a steady innings of 47 off 51 balls. One may think his innings was a bit slow and doesn't suit with the nature of T20 cricket. But one has to also admit that it was the knock of Bijoy that eventually elevated Bangladesh to a challenging total.

Unless there wasn't Bijoy to keep one wicket unscrambled, it would have been more difficult for the Tigers to reach to anywhere near the total they made today. Bijoy didn't hit any six in this match and fared only three fours. He dealt more with singles and doubles. His ability to rotate the strike gradually developed with the proceeding of the innings. He came to bat at No.3 after the departure of Tamim Iqbal and was the 9th batsman to go. He was dismissed in the very last over of Bangladesh innings when he tried to convert a single to a seemingly impossible double and in the process got himself run out.
