Bangladesh v Zimbabwe 3rd ODI Prediction

The on song Bengal Tigers humiliated Zimbabwe in the second One Day International by a visible margin of 68 runs and lead the five game series at 2-0. The hosts smashed 7-251 runs in the measured 50 overs and the visitors were bowled out for 183 runs with 31 balls still available. That was the fifth consecutive defeat of the tourists who had lost three Tests, the opening ODI and still look unsettled in all departments of the game. Bangladesh is getting stronger than ever against them and will anticipate another victory in the next match.

Players to watch

Tamim Iqbal along with Anamul Haque shared a solid opening partnership of 158 runs in the previous game and credited their personal accounts with 76 and 80 runs. The centurion in the first ODI, Shakib Al Hasan was gone for a duck but he has the ability to bounce back while their dependable middle order batting comprises Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah and Mominul Haque. Arafat Sunny and Mashrafe Mortaza grabbed 4 and 3 wickets while Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah and Al-Amin Hossain are in good form with the ball.

Solomon Mire registered a fifty in the last game, Regis Chakabawa and Elton Chigumbura contributed 32 and 38 while the top order batsmen of Zimbabwe should be serious in their approach. Tinashe Panyangara, Tendai Chatara and Tafadzwa Kamungozi are their notable bowlers.
