The hosts, who won the first game by 25 runs, scored 247-6 before dismissing Bangladesh for 234.

Opener Ben Curran batted through the Zimbabwe innings for an unbeaten 111 after Zimbabwe had been put into bat, closing the innings with a 99-run unbeaten partnership with Brad Evans (58).

The final ODI will be on Saturday, followed by three Twenty20 internationals in Bulawayo.
