Cricket: Bangladesh celebrate
Bangladesh players celebrate after clinching their first one-day series win yesterday. People sang, danced, banged drums, waved flags and hugged each other on the streets of Dhaka after Zimbabwe were beaten in the final match at Bangabandhu National Stadium to give Bangladesh, who had fought back from two matches down, a 3-2 series win. Some 35,000 fans in the ground went wild as a four from the captain Habibur Bashar took Bangladesh to 202 with eight wickets and 17 overs to spare in reply to Zimbabwe's 198 all out.
