Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh, 1st ODI: Match Preview, Where To Watch, Details, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, Probable Playing XI, Predictions and Dream XI Picks
Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh, 1st ODI: On Friday, August 5, the first match of the one-day international series between Bangladesh and Zimbabwe will be played at the Harare Sports Club in Harare. The series will consist of three games total.
After Bangladesh was defeated by Zimbabwe 1-2 in the Twenty20 International series, the team’s confidence is likely to be down. They were able to tie the series with a strong performance in the second Twenty20 International (T20I), but they were defeated in the last match a few days ago.
However, it is anticipated that the 50-over format of cricket will provide a distinct challenge to both sides. Bangladesh has been doing very well in one-day international cricket as of late. They maintained their position at the pinnacle of the World Cup Super League points chart for a considerable amount of time.
Only recently were they dethroned from their top position by Jos Buttler’s England. A recent one-day international series between Bangladesh and West Indies resulted in Bangladesh’s 3-0 victory. Nasum Ahmed, Mehidy Hasan, and Taijul Islam, who make up the spin three, bowled really well.
After taking some time off, Tamim Iqbal and Mushfiqur Rahim have come back to play for the side. During this time, Tamim announced his retirement from Twenty20 cricket after a career spanning more than a decade. Bangladesh would want to make inroads as soon as possible after suffering a loss in the Twenty20 International series (T20Is).
