Zimbabwe face a tough task against Bangladesh at home in a three match T20I series. Bangladesh have transformed themselves in a very good touring side. They recently beat West Indies in an ODI series 3-0 away from home. Though they lost the T20Is on the same tour, they were fairly competitive. They have some experienced players and Zimbabwe will have to bring out their A-game to upstage the Asian visitors.
Zimbabwe, meanwhile, last played in the T20 World Cup qualifiers and won the tournament that also had teams like Netherlands, USA, Jersey, Singapore and PNG. Before that, they lost to Afghanistan 3-0 at home.
Harare offers a wicket that has something in it for the bowlers early on before the it gets slow and spinners come into play. Bangladesh spinners will enjoy the conditions.
The weather will be clear and sunny, and the temperature will be on the cooler side, ranging between 23 to 8 degrees.

He is one of the best batters from Zimbabwe in the team. He is Zimbabwe’s third highest run getter with 974 runs in 46 games. On his day, Ervine can be a match winner for his team. He is also one player who is very good against the spinners.
In the absence of senior players, the responsibility of helping Bangladesh post a decent score rest on Afif Hossain. The batter has done well in recent times and was Bangladesh’s top scorer in the last series against West Indies where he scored 84 runs in 3 games.
Williams is also the key to Zimbabwe’s success in the coming series. If he has a good series, Zimbabwe will have a great chance to pull off an upset. Overall, Williams has scored 1231 in 53 games and is the second highest run scorer for his team. He is equally good with the ball as well and can trouble Bangladesh batters with his left arm spin.
He is the most experienced player in the team in the absence of Shakib, Tamim, Mushfiqur and the team will need good performances from him in the series.
The spinner can cause some serious trouble to the Zimbabwe batters with his variations. He bowls tight lines and often picks up wickets in bunches.
