Zimbabwe tour of Bangladesh, 2025: Full squad of both teams

Bangladesh has left no option but to win the 2nd Test match against Zimbabwe if they want to level the two-match series; Zimbabwe is already holding the lead by 0-1. In the recent past, before the ongoing series, they had a very poor run in the Test format. Out of the last 5 matches, Bangladesh won only 1, and Zimbabwe lost 4 and drew a match.

Before the series, on home soil, Team Bangladesh was the clear favorite to win the first match as well as the series. But Zimbabwe showed a better performance over the host team and claimed the first Test match. Only a draw will be enough for the visiting side to make the series their own.

In a wet climate, bowlers from both teams did their job well, but the batters struggled in most of the game. Blessing Muzarabani took a total of 9 wickets in the first, and Bangladesh bowler Mehidy Hasan Miraz completed his 10-wicket haul. Teams need to work more with their batting during the season to avoid a batting collapse.

Bangladesh Probable Playing XI

Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Shadman Islam, Najmul Hossain Shanto (C), Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Jaker Ali, Taijul Islam, Hasan Mahmud, Khaled Ahmed, and Nahid Rana.
