Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI Match Prediction

Preview

Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh: Zimbabwe has completed a rare series win to spring some surprises. Sikandar Raza has two centuries in this series and is getting better with each game. Chakbava and Innocent Kaia got going as well in this series, making the batting line-up look solid. With one more game to go, Zimbabwe will want some of their bowlers to step up as well, while the batting line-up looks for more stars ahead of the India series.

Bangladesh go home with a lot of work on hand. They had some nice wins in 2022 but their preparation for 2022, in a format they are good at will be a concern now. Without Shakib Al Hasan the side looks a little light as seen this series and that will affect their future planning badly as they move towards the World Cup.

Key Players

Mehidy Hasan Miraz

The batting is doing a decent job for Bangladesh, but bowling is becoming an issue. Over the last year, Mehidy Hasan has provided a lot of contributions for Bangladesh, but this series he has been a touch flat. He has wickets, but he is on the expensive side, struggling to find his line. With one more game to go, his bowling has to improve as that has been a factor for Bangladesh in this series.

Regis Chakabva

With all the spotlight on Sikandar Raza, Chakabva’s contribution is going unnoticed. He finished with a century of his own and is looking solid at the top. His batting is improviing and the confidence he gains here will help him both as a batter and a captain when India turn up later this month.

Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh Match Tips

Zimbabwe winning the series is a surprise to many. Bangladesh though has not been able to penetrate much with the ball, and are struggling to match Zimbabwe’s batting strength in this series. While a white-wash sounds unlikely, it is not out of the books as Zimbabwe are playing some really good cricket at the moment.

Match Prediction: Zimbabwe will win the match.
