Preview

Bangladesh team dominate Zimbabwe in the first two matches of the 3 match ODI Series, and the final ODI eventually turns out to be a dead rubber. Zimbabwe have shown great fight in the second ODI, but end up losing the game. Bangladesh team showed a tremendous temperament in the last ODI, as the veteran of Bangladesh cricket  Shakib Al Hasan produced a gritty knock of 96 in difficult circumstances. Zimbabwe played a great all round cricket in the second ODI and came close for the victory, but the results went in favour of Bangladesh. The dead rubbers give chance to the players to play freely with no pressure, and set the template for the next series which helps the team to carry the momentum forward. The Zimbabwe side will look to extract positives from the series, and the last ODI of the series is crucial for the upcoming T20 series. The Bangladesh side will also look for a whitewash and if it happens then it’ll keep Zimbabwe under immense pressure ahead of the next series.

Predictions

The Bangladesh side certainly has momentum ahead of the final ODI, as they have played brilliant cricket so far in the series. The Bangladesh team are favorites to win the final ODI as well. The experience in the Bangladesh team poses trouble for the delicate Zimbabwe side.  

Players to watch out for -

Bangladesh - Liton Das - The Bangladesh’s wicket keeper batsman played an outstanding knock under pressure in the first ODI, where he registered a century. In the second ODI he got early in the inning but in the last ODI he could replicate the first ODI heroics.

Zimbabwe - Sikandar Raza - The off-spin all rounder of Zimbabwe is a key man for Zimbabwe, as he played a vital role both with the bat and ball. He came to bat at the lower order in the previous encounter, now he’ll look to contribute in the final ODI as well.

Captain and Vice Captain Picks 

Captain (Shakib Al Hasan)  - The Bangladesh experienced All rounder Shakib Al Hasan should be the captain of the team, as he is the most utility cricketer from both the teams. He was brilliant in the last ODI, where he played a match winning knock of unbeaten 96.

Vice-Captain ( Brendon Taylor ) - The veteran of Zimbabwe got out in bizarre fashion in the last ODI, as he hit the stumps with the bat. He was batting well in the second ODI, and the one big inning is expected to come in the final ODI from Taylor’s bat.
