However, replays revealed that Tigers wicketkeeper Nurul Hasan had taken the ball in front of the wicket, indicating that the delivery was a no-ball and that the players, many of whom had shaken hands and left the field, were summoned.
Only four runs were required now, and the final ball was a free hit, but Muzarabani failed to connect with spinner Mosaddek Hossain’s delivery, allowing Bangladesh to celebrate for the second time.
Bangladesh, who had reduced Zimbabwe to 35-4 before Sean Williams’ brilliant 64, now has a chance to reach the semi-finals.
They climbed to second place in the table, but to qualify, they must defeat either India or Pakistan, or both.
