Zimbabwe scored 11 points from the first five deliveries and Blessing Muzarabani was blocked on the sixth, prompting celebration in the Bangladesh camp.
The stumps had been pulled out and the players left, but the TV referee ruled the final delivery a no ball as wicketkeeper Nurul Hasan had collected the ball in front of the stumps, not behind, before crashing into Muzarabani.
It was a declared no-ball, but Mosaddek kept his cool and sent in a final delivery that Muzarabani couldn’t connect.
