Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh (ZIM vs BAN) Match Preview
In the matches they have won, Zimbabwe have displayed excellent form with both bat and ball, and they will aim to maintain this momentum in the T20I series as well. This marks their first T20I assignment since their impressive performance at the T20 World Cup earlier this year, where they secured a spot in the Super 8s in thrilling fashion by defeating Australia.
Having lost the ODI series and the lone Test match, Bangladesh will be looking to take some positives from this series. They suffered a 3-0 defeat in their previous T20 series against Australia and will be eager to put up a better performance this time around. They will be playing without their captain, Litton Das, who has joined the Lanka Premier League.
ZIM vs BAN 1st T20 Pitch Report
Conditions for batting at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo are better than in Harare (where the ODI series was played). The bounce and carry of the ball are more consistent here, making it easier for batters to play shots as the ball rises. Although fast bowlers might find some lateral movement, 'hit-the-deck' bowling is unlikely to be very effective. Spinners are not expected to get much assistance from the pitch. The team winning the toss is likely to opt to bowl first.
