Zimbabwe 250 for 7 (Taibu 83, Shakib 2-41) strike Bangladesh 245 (Mushfiqur 101, Utseya 3-47) by five runs
A century from wicketkeeper Mushfiqur Rahim was not sufficient to stop Bangladesh losing the one-day series alongside Zimbabwe as they slipping to a five-run loss in Harare.
The hosts' own keeper, Tatenda Taibu (83), top-scored as Zimbabwe scored 250 for seven in their 50 overs.
Mushfiqur (101) then put his side in a great location to keep themselves in the series, but they misshapen to another beat as their last five wickets fell for 16 runs, allow Zimbabwe to take a 3-0 series direct with two to play.
The tourists got an early get through when Brendan Taylor edges an inoffensive delivery from Shafiul Islam directly to slip for four.
Taylor's beneficiary opener, Vusi Sibanda (27), looked sharp but was wedged out by a short ball from Rubel Hossain, pull to Imrul Kayes.
Hamilton Masakadza (74) and Taibu then built a well-built partnership, adding 142 for the third wicket, before the former was cleaned bowled by Rubel, who was also involved in Taibu's notice as he held onto a catch off the bowling of Nazmul Hossain.Of the tail, only Elton Chigumbura (31) additional any runs of note to the Zimbabwe total.
Bangladesh made a lethargic start to their run chase as Prosper Utseya removed Kayes and Junaid Siddique inexpensively before Tamim Iqbal (44) was run out while trying to push for a second.
Mushfiqur then took centre phase, smashing eight fours and a six on his way to maiden ODI century. But he was behind partners at a constant rate with only Shuvagoto Hom (32) offering any sort of hold up before he went the same way as Tamim.
The quick scoring of Mushfiqur destined the visitors had the chance to win the match and keep the series alive as they enter the final over requiring eight runs to win with only one wicket residual.
But the centurion try one big shot too many and played a short ball from Chris Mpofu straight into the hands of Sibanda at long-off from the second ball as Zimbabwe secured an unforgettable win.
