Zimbabwe’s dream run in the series continues as they pulled off a massive chase in the 1st ODI to take a 1-0 lead in the series. The home side clinched the T20I series 2-1 and had a good start to the ODI series as well. Now, it is time for Bangladesh to pull up their socks to stop Zimbabwe from taking an unassailable lead in the series. The Bangladesh team, despite resting four of their most experienced players, are still the strongest team on paper. It is a matter of showing up on a particular day.
In the first match, the team did put up a good show with the bat as they marched to 303 with the help of top-order batters. Chasing a massive total, the home side didn’t panic and had Innocent Kaia and Sikandar Raza to take them past the finish line. Both the batters smashed hundreds respectively.

ZIM vs BAN Today Match Prediction, T20I series 2022, Who Will Win the Match?
Zimbabwe to win
Zimbabwe can win this match and continue their decent run this year if only Sikandar Raza performs well once again. Raza helped the team to clinch the T20I series and he was the player of the match in the first ODI as well. If he could find support from anyone top-order batter here, the home team will return with the win. Meanwhile, the second-string Bangladesh team will hope that the bowlers come good in the decider.
