Blessing Muzarabani to Mahmudul Hasan Joy, out Caught by Brian Bennett!! What a start for Zimbabwe and Blessing Muzarabani! That's a peach of a delivery from the tall paceman. Hits the good length around off and gets it to come back into the batter. Joy blocks at it tentatively but there is some extra bounce and the ball balloons to the gully fielder after taking the outside edge of the bat. Squared him up completely.
