Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh 3rd T20 Prediction & Betting Tips
Zimbabwe and Bangladesh will clash in the series decider on 25th July at the Harare Sports Club. The match will get underway at 4:00 PM IST
Finally, Zimbabwe managed to halt Bangladesh’s juggernaut on the tour and claimed an emphatic win in the second ODI. Having posted 166-6 in 20 overs, Zimbabwe bowlers bundled out Bangladesh for 143, winning the game by 23 runs. Westley Madhvere scored a brilliant 73 to help Zimbabwe post a defendable total. In the bowling department, Luke Jongwe, Wellington Masakadza picked three wickets each while Tendai Chatara and Blessing Muzarambani accounted for two wickets. Now Zimbabwe have an opportunity to claim a rare series win against Bangladesh. However, they would need players like Marumani, Sikandar Raza, Ryan Burl to come good collectively.
In each of the three games, the batting has not been delivered collectively. Also, we don’t think Zimbabwe will be able to defend 166 every time. They will have to bat well and post 180 to give themselves a fair chance. It will also be interesting to see if the bowlers can back their performance with another good one. Over the years they have been very inconsistent. Bangladesh too have some worries. While their bowlers have done a decent job, the batting has been inconsistent. Senior players like Shakib, Mahmudullah need to step up.

ZIM vs BAN 3rd T20 Match Toss Prediction
The wicket is a decent surface to bat and putting runs on the board will help.
ZIM vs BAN 3rd T20 Pitch Report
The pitch seems a good wicket for cricket. The ball moves around a bit in the first few overs while the spinners come into play in the second half of the innings. However, neither the movement nor the spin is extravagant thus batsmen have enough opportunity to score.
Weather Report
The weather will be pleasant with no threat of rain.

Zimbabwe Team News & Playing 11
ZIM Team News
Zimbabwe would not like to tinker with the winning combination. Unless there is an injury concern, they should field the same XI
ZIM Key Players
- Dion Myers - Myers has consistently got starts. However, he has failed to kick off and get a big score. He is an attacking batsman and if gets going, can be hard to stop.
- Regis Chakabva- Chakabva has been brilliant in the series. He did miss out in the last game but given his form, he can be backed to come back strong in the next game.
- Westley Madhvere - Madhvere scored a brilliant 73 in the last game. He would love to back this up with another good knock. He is a brilliant bowler as well
If Zimbabwe can win the game, it will be their first series win over Bangladesh.
Zimbabwe Predicted Playing 11
Wesley Madhevere, Tadiwanashe Marumani (wk), Regis Chakabva, Dion Myers, Sikandar Raza (c), Milton Shumba, Ryan Burl, Luke Jongwe, Wellington Masakadza, Blessing Muzarabani, Tendai Chatara
Bangladesh Team News & Playing 11
BAN Team News
Liton Das and Mustafizur did not take the field in the second ODI as they had minor injuries. We don’t know if they are fit enough to play. If they are, they will return to the XI
BAN Key Players
- Shakib Al Hasan - Shakib has not quite transformed his ODI form into T20Is. However, he is still the best Bangladesh player and a match-winner on his day.
- Soumya Sarkar - Soumya scored a 50 in the first game but failed to trouble the scorers in the last T20I. He will be keen to come good and make a valuable contribution to his team’s win.
- Taskin Ahmed - If Rahman doesn’t play, Taskin will have the responsibility of picking early wickets. He hasn’t quite picked up a lot of wickets but has been very economical.
A series loss against Zimbabwe won’t be ideal for Bangladesh ahead of an important series against Australia
Bangladesh Predicted Playing 11
Mohammad Naim, Soumya Sarkar, Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah (c), Nurul Hasan (wk), Afif Hossain/Liton Das, Shamim Hossain/Mustafizur Rahman, Mahedi Hasan, Mohammad Saifuddin, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam

🏆 Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh Prediction
Despite the win in the last game, We think Zimbabwe will need a monumental effort to win against Bangladesh who will come back hard. Even in the last game it was just one inning from Madhvere that helped them post a decent total. Overall, their batting looks fragile to us and we think they are going to struggle in the next game. For us, Bangladesh are favourites.
