ZIM vs BAN 1st T20I, Cricket Tips: Zimbabwe have outsmarted Bangladesh in the ongoing multi-format series at home. They won the one-off test and then recorded a 2-1 ODI series win. Bangladesh have failed to adjust to the conditions and have been poor with the bat. Can they bring in new strategies in the shorter format?
These two teams will lock horns in three T20Is, starting on Wednesday at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo at 4 PM IST. Litton Das is injured, and Towhid Hridoy will lead Bangladesh. The batting units for both sides look a little thin on paper, which indicates that we might see a low-scoring thriller on Wednesday.
