Team Preview
Recently, Zimbabwe’s performance in one-day international cricket has been below average. In a three-match series, they lost against Afghanistan 3-0. For more than a year, Zimbabwe has been sustained by its middle order. In the ODI series against Afghanistan and the current T20I series against Bangladesh, Raza led Zimbabwe in runs scored. Zimbabwe’s speed assault will be led by Tendai Chatara and Blessing Muzarbani along with Tanaka Chivanga.
Recently, Bangladesh has had outstanding ODI cricket performance. In a recent three-match series, they defeated South Africa 2-1 and the West Indies 3-0. Mustafizur Rahman, Bangladesh’s strike bowler, is one of the players to watch out for as he is currently on fire. At the top of the order for Bangladesh, Litton Das is a prolific run scorer. He gets his team off to a fast start and attacks the opposing bowlers.
