Let us have a look at how each Zimbabwean player fared in the three-match T20I series against Bangladesh.

Wesley Madhevere 8.5 (M 3, R 150, SR 129)

Madhevere finished as the highest run-scorer, aggregating 150 at a strike rate of 129. Had Zimbabwe won the decider, he might have adjudged the Player of the Series.

Regis Chakabva 8 (M 3, R 105, SR 198, C 1)

Chakabva compiled 105 at a staggering 198. He was the only Zimbabwean batter who showed no mercy to their opponents from the first ball.

Blessing Muzarabani 7 (M 3, W 4, Ec 5.66)

Muzarabani has been Zimbabwe’s best bowler for a while now. His economy rate of 5.66 was the best from either side.

Ryan Burl 6.5 (M 3, R 69, SR 173)

Burl smashed a 19-ball 34 and a 15-ball 31 in the second and third matches respectively; he was unbeaten on both occasions.

Dion Myers 6 (M 3, R 84, SR 131)

With 35, 26, and 23, Myers was the only Zimbabwean, apart from Madhevere, who got starts in all three games.

Wellington Masakadza 5 (M 3, W 4, Ec 7.45, C 3)

Masakadza returned 3-20 in the second match to orchestrate Zimbabwe’s only win of the tour, but he did not carry that momentum to the third. Only Sikandar Raza matched his three catches.

Luke Jongwe 5 (M 3, W 5, Ec 10.27)

Jongwe got five wickets but conceded more than ten an over.

Tendai Chatara 4.5 (M 2, W 2, ER 6.37)

Chatara bowled well, particularly in the second match, where he bagged 2-24.

Tadiwanashe Marumani 3 (M 3, R 37, SR 116)

Marumani began with two ordinary outings but made a useful 20-ball 27 in the third.

Sikandar Raza 2 (M 3, R 4, C 3)

An awful series for Raza, who had two ducks and a 6-ball 4. He gets a point for taking three catches.

Tarisai Musakanda 1.5 (M 1, R 6, SR 100)

Musakanda had a run-a-ball 6 in the first match before being sidelined in the next two.

Richard Ngarava 1.5 (M 1, W 0)

Milton Shumba 1 (M 2, R 0)

Shumba replaced Musakanda in the last two matches but did not get a chance to bat or bowl.
