<p>Zimbabwe could have won their key match against Bangladesh in the ongoing T20 World Cup tournament on Sunday (October 30), but the game ended with thrilling last-ball drama and Bangla Tigers emerged as clear winners.&nbsp;</p>

<p>With the victory, Bangladesh regained momentum in the World Cup. This victory was made possible by opener Najmul Shanto's maiden half-century and Taskin Ahmed's three wickets.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Bangladesh opted to bat after winning the toss and scored 150/7 in 20 overs. While chasing, Zimbabwe could score 147 runs, losing eight wickets. But the match didn't end when it looked like it.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The match went to the wire with Zimbabwe needing 16 off an incredible last over, which saw two wickets fall, a big six and the teams. After the final ball, both teams started walking off thinking the match was over, only to be recalled.&nbsp;</p>

<p>When Blessing Muzarabani, who needed five runs to win, went out trying to hit a six off the final ball, the fielding team celebrated as the players shook hands and exited the field, and Bangladesh thought they had won.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, a review revealed that wicketkeeper Nurul Hasan's gloves illegally caught the ball in front of the stumps, hence it was ruled a no-ball. With four needed to win, the sides had to go back for a free hit, but Muzarabani missed again, leaving Zimbabwe short on 147-8.&nbsp;</p>
