Salah runs through Zimbabwe batting

HARARE, Aug 6 (Reuters) Banglaesh off spinner Rajin Saleh returned a career best four for 16 from 4.3 overs today to help reduce Zimbabwe to 197 all out from 49.3 overs in the fifth one-day international.

Hamilton Masakadza scored 75 from 101 balls with two fours and two sixes, adding 86 for the third wicket with Brendan Taylor who eked out his 24 from 71 deliveries.

Zimbabwe then lost eight wickets for 32 runs from 10 overs with Saleh taking wickets with consecutive deliveries and featuring in a runout.

Saleh first struck when he bowled Masakadza with an arm ball in the 42nd over. In the next over his throw from extra cover to wicketkeeper Khaled Mashud ran out Tafadzwa Mufambisi for one.

Saleh then had Prosper Utseya caught by substitute fielder Alok Kopali at mid-wicket for seven and with his next ball he bowled Stuart Matsikenyeri for 10 with a full delivery.

Saleh completed his haul in the 50th over by bowling Blessing Mahwire for four to end the innings.

Left-arm Abdur Razzak supported Saleh well with two for 24 from 10 overs.

Zimbabwe, who won the toss and elected to bat, have an unbeatable 3-1 lead in the five-match series.
