Streak lifted his batsmen after a difficult start

Captain Heath Streak pushed Zimbabwe to a revenge 14-run win over Bangladesh in the fourth one-day international.

Streak hit 45, sharing a stand of 76 with Sean Ervine (50), to lead the home side from 79-5 to a challenging 242-8.

And he then claimed figures of 4-30 as the Tigers, who scored a surprise win in the last match, were bowled out for 228 in the final over.

Mushfiqur Rahman (49) helped put on 54 for the sixth wicket and Khaled Mashud made 41 but it was not enough.

Zimbabwe made three changes to the team beaten by eight runs on Wednesday, with Andy Blignaut, Mark Vermeulen and Gary Brent returning.

It proved to be an unhappy comeback by Vermeulen, who was playing his first game since his skull was fractured by India's Irfan Pathan almost two months ago.

He was dismissed for four in Tariq Aziz's opening over and Stuart Carlisle, Grant Flower and Tatenda Taibu soon followed.

Barney Rogers faced 51 balls for 26 before he was stumped by Mashud off Mohammad Rafique, but Ervine and Streak answered the crisis with sensible batting.

When Ervine fell to Rajin Saleh's off-spin, Streak saw the score past 200 in tandem with Ebrahim, who hit 33 off 35 balls.

But the skipper was denied a half century of his own when he was bowled by Tapash Baisya, who finished with 3-45.

Blignaut rounded things of in aggressive style, hitting a six and two fours in his 28 not.

The tourists made a subdued start in reply and when they tried to up the pace Streak struck in three successive overs.

Mohammad Ashraful steadied proceedings when he was joined by Mushfiqur.

And when the youngster was caught off spinner Ray Price for 31 former skipper Mahmud picked up the pace in a 51-ball innings.

But despite two fours and a six, Mushfiqur was unable to score quickly enough to challenge.

After a short delay for rain, Streak was back in action to run Mohammad Rafique out for a cavalier 26, bowl Baisya for a duck and catch last man Mashud in the deep.

"We fielded a lot better today and stuck to the gameplan. We took the chances when they came our way and we didn't do that on Wednesday," said Streak.

Opposite number Habibul Bashar said the failure of Bangladesh's top order had been decisive.

"I was pleased with the way we fought back after losing early wickets, but we had lost too many and that cost us."
