The Harare Sports Club pitch report has become a topic for discussion in the cricketing circles as the venue will play host to a T20I series between the Zimbabwe cricket team and the Bangladesh cricket team. After a decent performance against the West Indies cricket team, the Bangladesh cricket team will lock horns with the Zimbabwean side in a three-match series.
Interestingly, all three matches of this series will happen at the Harare Sports Club. The series starts tomorrow on July 30, with the second and third T20Is slated to take place on July 31 and August 2. After that, both nations will play a three-match ODI series on the same ground.

The pitch report of the Harare Sports Club shows that teams batting first have been more successful in T20I matches at this venue. So far, Harare has hosted 32 matches, where teams batting second have won only 11 times. The average first innings score at this venue is 158, hinting that the wicket assists both batters and bowlers.
If a batter gets going, it will be hard for the bowlers to stop him because the highest individual score in T20is on this ground has been 172. Aaron Finch scored 172 runs in a T20I against the Zimbabwe cricket team back in 2018. In the same tri-series, Billy Stanlake bowled the best spell by a bowler at this ground, returning with figures of 4/8 in a match against the Pakistan cricket team.

The weather in Harare will remain mostly sunny throughout the course of this three-match series. There are little chances of rainfall on matchdays, meaning that the fans should witness full 20-over matches between the Bangladesh cricket team and the Zimbabwe cricket team.
It will be interesting to see which team comes out on top when Zimbabwe battles Bangladesh.
