Zimbabwe posted a competitive 240 for nine in their 50 overs, but the tourists chased the total down with five balls remaining, largely thanks to Shakib's unbeaten half-century which came off 109 balls.After the home side elected to bat, Wessley Madhevere top scored but found little support in the lower order, as left-arm seamer Shoriful Islam was the pick of the bowlers.

Bangladesh were in trouble at 173 for seven in their reply, before Shakib and Mohammad Saifuddin put on an unbeaten 69 in 10.4 overs for the eighth wicket to see them to victory. The third ODI will be played at the same venue and will be followed by three Twenty20 Internationals.
