Bangladesh v Zimbabwe 4th ODI Prediction

Bangladesh continued their demolition process over Zimbabwe while winning the third One Day International by a huge margin of 124 runs and leads the five game series at 3-0. The Bengal Tigers blasted 297 for the loss of six wickets in the allocated 50 overs and the entire visiting side scrambled to 173 with 10.1 overs to spare. The series has slipped from the hands of the tourists who will try to regain their lost pride by winning the remaining matches though it looks too difficult at the moment.

Players to watch

The opening duo of Anamul Haque and Tamim Iqbal shared a healthy partnership of 121 with their personal feat of 95 and 40. Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah contributed useful runs which assisted in creating a big score. Arafat Sunny grabbed four wickets whereas Mashrafe Mortaza, Shakib Al Hasan and Rubel Hossain are bowling on target.

Elton Chigumbura registered an unbeaten fifty and Brendan Taylor was the other batsman who reached 28 while their top and middle order batting is totally confused against the rival bowling. Tinashe Panyangara is their most successful bowler and rest of his mates must bring sharpness with positive results.
