Bangladesh with its clinical performance won the ODI series 3-0. Now they would look forward to the T20I series and would be very confident to win that too keeping in mind about the T20 world cup this year.
The last T20I series that Bangladesh played was over a month ago against Pakistan where they lost the series 2-0 and also lost a series before that to India 2-1. But they would be confident coming into this T20 series as they are confident of the ODI series win. Moreover, all their players look fit and in good form so there is nothing much for them to worry about. In the batting Tamim Iqbal, Liton Das, Mohammad Naim, and Mushfiqur Rahim while being crucial. They are backed up by all-rounders like Afif Hossain, Soumya Sarkar, and Mehidy Hasan. The bowling department also looks good with Mustafizur Rahman, Al-Amin Hossain, and Shafiul Islam.
On the other hand, Zimbabwe was completely outplayed by the hosts. They put up a fight only in the 2nd match of the ODI series where they just lost by 4 runs. They would be hoping to make a comeback by winning the T20 series.
Zimbabwe played their last T20I nearly 4 months ago which was a one-off tournament against Nepal and Singapore. They had won the tournament but Bangladesh is a strong team and won’t be so easy to win against them. Kamunhukamwe, Chakabva, Brendan Taylor are the important players in the top order. All-rounders like Sikandar Raza and Weasley Madhevere in the middle order and pace bowlers Carl Mumba ad Donald Tiripano would be crucial in the team’s win.
