Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh: Zimbabwe are on cloud nine now. They beat Bangladesh in a T20 series and now went past Bangladesh in an ODI, which is a format in which Bangladesh carry a lot of pride. Sikandar Raza played a huge role and is constantly on the rise, while Zimbabwe are slowly getting back to handling pressure well. With results coming their way again, it will be interesting to see how far the Zimbabwe resurgence goes.

The weather at Harare is clear with a few clouds during the Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh game.
The surface was pretty flat in the first game but may show some signs of wear, with spin likely to come into play. Batting first is a better option.

Tamim Iqbal, recently retired from T20Is, has now gone past 8000 ODI runs. He is the first player from Bangladesh to go past that mark and is showing that he is still one of the best batters in Bangladesh. He has already had a prolific career for Bangladesh, and will want to keep improving as they are currently on the verge of a series defeat against Zimbabwe.
At 36, Raza seems to be getting better with age. He is batting like a dream, full of aggression. With a few good games behind him, Raza is making himself a force to reckon with ahead of the World Cup qualifiers.
Zimbabwe may have won the first game in commanding fashion but Bangladesh are still favorites. They are always a force to reckon with in the ODI format. They will be eager to put this loss behind them quickly.
