Despite a mid-innings slowdown, Bangladesh comfortably secured a six-wicket victory over Zimbabwe in the second T20I of the five-match series, taking a commanding 2-0 lead.

Bangladesh successfully chased down 139 runs with nine balls to spare. Towhid Hridoy (37* off 25) and Mahmudullah (26* off 16) anchored the innings, but the top order's performance left much to be desired.

Litton Das and Tanzid Hasan provided a solid start, adding 41 runs in 5.5 overs before Tanzid departed after scoring 18 off 19 balls. 

Litton, struggling with inconsistent form, started strongly but slowed down after the powerplay, eventually falling for 23 off 25 deliveries. 

Despite efforts to accelerate the scoring rate, Najmul Hossain Shanto (16 off 15) and Jaker Ali (13 off 12) found it challenging to build momentum, leaving Bangladesh three runs behind the DLS par score at the halfway mark.

Although Zimbabwe hoped for a bowling comeback after reducing the hosts to 93-4 in the 14th over, Hridoy and Mahmudullah's resilient partnership bailed Bangladesh out of trouble, steering them to victory with ample overs to spare.

Jonathan Campbell and Brian Bennett's partnership rescued Zimbabwe from a rocky start, enabling them to reach 138-7 in the first innings of the second T20I against Bangladesh in Chattogram. 

Campbell's explosive 45 off just 23 balls set a new record for the highest score by a Zimbabwean on T20I debut, surpassing Tari Musakanda's 43 against Pakistan in 2018. 

Son of former Zimbabwe skipper Alistair Campbell, Jonathan showcased his talent with four boundaries and three sixes in his fearless knock. 

His partnership with Bennett, who contributed a valuable 44* off 29 deliveries, added 73 runs in just 7.1 overs.

However, Zimbabwe's batting woes continued with another challenging start as they struggled against Bangladesh's disciplined bowling attack. 

The top-order batsmen, including Joylord Gumbie, Tadiwanashe Marumani, and Craig Ervine, failed to counter the early pressure, displaying a lack of aggression in their approach.
