The game will take place at the Harare Sports Club in Harare. Match will start at 4:30 PM IST with FanCode streaming the series. On that note, here, we take a look at the Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh Dream11 predictions for the first T20I encounter.
Dream11 today playing XI for Bangladesh
Bangladesh is not in great T20I form at the moment. Therefore, they would like to return to touch with a solid show against Zimbabwe. However, they have rested the likes of Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim. Mahmudullah will also not play and hence, it will be Nurul Hasan who will take up the captaincy duties.
Bangladesh likely playing XI: Litton Das, Parvez Hossain Emon, Anamul Haque, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Afif Hossain, Nurul Hasan (C&WK), Mosaddek Hossain, Mahedi Hasan, Shoriful Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, and Nasum Ahmed.
Dream11 today playing XI for Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe recently entered the qualification tournament of the 2022 ICC T20 World Cup with a brilliant performance. Some of the players are in good form and hence, they will confident. The likes of Blessing Muzarabani are missing but the hosts can still field a competent XI.
Zimbabwe likely playing XI: Regis Chakabva (WK), Craig Ervine (C), Sean Williams, Wesly Madhevere, Sikandar Raza, Milton Shumba, Ryan Burl, Tony Munyonga, Luke Jongwe, Wellington Masakadza, and Richard Ngarava.
Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh Today Match Prediction
In the last five games, Zimbabwe has won all their five matches while Bangladesh has won and lost the other four. While the form favors the hosts, the visitors are the superior squad on paper.
It will be an even contest at the Harare Sports Club. However, if the popular names in the Bangladesh line-up like Litton Das and Mustafizur Rahman step up, Zimbabwe can find it hard. Therefore, despite the recent mediocre form, we predict that the Asian team will win the first encounter.
