Young spinner Timycen Maruma picked up three crucial wickets to ensure
Zimbabwe A maintained their grip on the second day of their four-day
match against Bangladesh A at Queens Sports Club. Maruma found some
turn on the Queens track to get rid of opener Mehrab Hossain, Alok
Kapali and Mahmud Ullah Riyad as Bangladesh A in reply to the home
team's 353 closed the second day on 115 for the loss of seven wickets.
The visitors still need 89 runs to avoid the follow-on and it is going to
be a difficult task with most of their reliable batsmen back in the
pavilion. Earlier on in the day, the home side added 77 to their
overnight score to take their first innings to 353 as their tail
enders continued to resist. Enamul Haque took all the
remaining three wickets to finish with five wickets.
