Their batting is going to depend largely on Hamilton Masakadza, Sikandar Raza and Brendan Taylor. Masakadza is amongst the top run-scorers for Zimbabwe in the 50-overs format. Graeme Cremer and Tendai Chatara will be the main threats with the ball. Cremer has 94 ODI wickets to his name and he could be dangerous in these spin-friendly conditions.

Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe 1st ODI Betting Odds
Bangladesh have the advantage of playing at home and they are the apparent favorites amongst the bookmakers to win this opening match of the tri-series with a very short 1.21 offer on Betfair. Zimbabwe are likely to struggle in these conditions and they are big underdogs at a high price of 3 on Betfair.
Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe 1st ODI Prediction
Bangladesh have won the last eight one-day internationals they have played against Zimbabwe. They also have an impressive ODI record at the Shere Bangla with seven wins in their past nine matches. The hosts will be tough to beat in their own backyard and so we predict them to start this series off with a win.
Final Verdict: Back Bangladesh to beat Zimbabwe at 1.21 on 1xbet.
