In this tour, Bangladeshi batters have shown application in building innings. Liton Das scored a marvelous century in the challenging conditions of Harare.

Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe started 1st ODI strong. They picked Bangladesh’s 4 wickets inside 20 overs. Blessing Muzarabani looked threatening with the new ball. Muzarabani’s bowling average was 19.42 last year. He troubled Babar Azam during last Pakistan’s tour of Zimbabwe. Muzarabani holds the key to Zimbabwe’s success.

Zimbabwe has been in an abysmal run of form in ODI’s for a long time. They even lost to teams like Ireland and Netherland. They are now ranked lower than Ireland and Netherland. They last won a series in 2019 against UAE. However, Zimbabwe had looked good in patches and even beat Pakistan in ODI on their tour to Pakistan in 2020.

Top Batsman from Bangladesh – Liton Das

Liton Das’s career changed after promotion to open the innings. His average is close to 40 while opening the innings. He used to play rash shots after spending time on the wicket, but now he has become more mature. In the last ODI, he showed his maturity and scored a good century on Harare’s two-paced pitch. Surely after scoring a century, his confidence will be high, given his record at opening innings and recent form. Liton Das is our top batsman from Bangladesh.

Brandan Taylor has scored over 6,500 runs for Zimbabwe in ODIs. He is arguably the best batsman to ever played for them. Taylor’s record in Harare is good. He averages nearly 40 on this ground. In 1st ODI, he looked good until he top-edged one while playing a huge slog sweep to Shakib. Zimbabwe batting depends on him, and he has delivered most of the time. In the must-win match, he can show his class. He is our top batsman pick from Zimbabwe.

Shakib became the leading wicket-taker for Bangladesh in ODIs in the previous match. He used all his experience and made most of the slow Harare wicket. He picked a fifer in 1st ODI. Shakib always has been the best bowler for Bangladesh in every format in every condition. Again responsibility will be on him to lead the bowling department. He is our top bowler pick for this match.

Top Bowler from Zimbabwe – Muzarabani 

Muzarabani is a very exciting tall fast bowler from Zimbabwe. He was recently featured in PSL 2021 and picked 10 wickets in 6 matches. Since then, he has looked more confident and composed. He is the future of Zimbabwe cricket. A lot depends on him, how Zimbabwe will shape in the coming years. . He has become a star bowler for them at a young age. He will look to again bowl sharp lines and help Zimbabwe in making a comeback in the series. He is the obvious pick for best bowler from Zimbabwe.
