Bangladesh Team News & Playing 11
Tamim Iqbal smashed his second consecutive fifty in the last game against Sri Lanka. He seems to be in good form and he will be the danger man for Zimbabwe. Fifties from Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim took the team's total to a formidable 320 which proved well beyond the opposition's reach. Shakib spun his magic with the ball picking up three wickets. The allrounder now has six wickets in two games and he will be the biggest threat for Zimbabwe in these spin-friendly conditions.

Zimbabwe Team News & Playing 11
Brendan Taylor was the only bright spot with the bat (58 runs off 80 balls) in the last match against Sri Lanka. Zimbabwe will look to him and Sikandar Raza who has two fifties in three games to score the big runs against Bangladesh. Blessing Muzarabani was the standout bowler with figures of 3-52 in ten overs, though his efforts went in vain as Zimbabwe could not defend their meagre total of 198. However, it is paceman Tendai Chatara (5 wickets in 3 matches) who will be the key man in this bowling attack.

Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe 5th ODI Betting Odds
Bangladesh are overwhelming favorites amongst the bookmakers to win this match at extremely short odds of 1.2 on Betfair and 1.14 each on Bet365 and Unibet. This isn't surprising at all considering the kind of form they are exhibiting at home. Zimbabwe put up an ordinary batting performance in their last game against Sri Lanka and they will need to rectify that if they are to have any chance of a win. They are giant underdogs for this one at 5.7 on Betfair and 5.50 each on Bet365 and Unibet.
Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe 5th ODI Prediction
Bangladesh have won their last nine one-day internationals played against Zimbabwe, including the one in the opening game of the series where they emerged victorious by a comfortable margin of eight wickets and more than 21 overs to spare. The hosts have won their first two matches and are high on confidence especially after that record-breaking win against Sri Lanka. Zimbabwe failed to capitalize on the momentum they gained by beating Sri Lanka in their first game and a lot of their vulnerabilities were exposed by the latter on Sunday. Bangladesh are a strong team in their own conditions and we predict them to win this match.
Final Verdict: Back Bangladesh to beat Zimbabwe at 1.2 on betfair and 1.14 each on bet365 and Unibet.
