BANGLADESH vs ZIMBABWE 3rd ODI
After two defeats on the trot, Zimbabwe have to win this one to ensure that they stay alive in the series. Things are not going there way at all and Bangladesh have been able to register comfortable wins against the Zimbabweans riding on a solid opening pair and some extra ordinary left arm spin bowling.
Zimbabwe have to make some changes in the ranks to ensure that they put up some fight. The top order hasn't been able to deliver the goods and that has put enormous pressure on the middle order. None of the batsmen except Williams in the last ODI have been able to show any authority.
Things will be a lot easier if the top three come up with some runs.
Bangladesh on the other hand, have got everything going their way. The left arm spinners have done a commendable job and have been the stand out performers for them. Shariar Nafees at the top of the order has given the ideal starts they would have expected bagging a century and half a ton in the first two games.
A keen contest is on the cards as the Zimbabweans would look to bounce back hard at the home side.
Bangladesh: Shahriar Nafees, Mehrab Hossain jnr, Aftab Ahmed, Saqibul Hasan, Habibul Bashar (c), Mohammad Ashraful, Khaled Mashud (w), Mohammad Rafique, Mashrafe Mortaza, Abdur Razzak, Shahadat Hossain, Tushar Imran, Farhad Reza, Syed Rasel
Zimbabwe: Stuart Matsikenyeri, Brendan Taylor (w), Justice Chibhabha, Hamilton Masakadza, Sean Williams, Elton Chigumbura, Keith Dabengwa, Gary Brent, Prosper Utseya (c), Blessing Mahwire, Edward Rainsford, Mluleki Nkala, Ryan Higgins, Anthony Ireland, Tino Mawoyo, Graeme Cremer, Christopher Mpofu
