Zimbabwean fast bowler Blessing Muzurbani dismissed Liton Das for 1 in his first over and could have dismissed Tanzeed in his second had the fielders not missed chances twice in three balls.
Tanzid, who was struggling early on, skied a short ball but wicketkeeper Joylord Gambi, who was also making his debut for Zimbabwe, saved the chance. Three balls later, Brain Bennett bowled a straight chance at cover.
Zimbabwe had to pay a heavy price due to Tanzid's disdain for the Zimbabwean bowlers.
Although Luke Jongwe had Shanto caught by Sean Williams, Tanzid's free-flowing batting ensured that Bangladesh would win the game without any trouble.
