BAN vs ZIM: Head-to-Head in ODIs Total Matches : 84 Bangladesh : 52 Zimbabwe : 32 No-result : 0 BAN vs ZIM: Ground Pitch Report The wicket in Abu Dhabi is slow and low, which tends to get tougher for the batters with time. The old ball will be tough to face, as it won't be easy to adjust to the uneven bounce. That is where it will be important to bat first when the conditions will be better for batting. BAN vs ZIM: Possible XIs Bangladesh : Tanzid Hasan, Litton Das (c & wk), Saif Hassan, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Towhid Hridoy, Mehidy Miraz, Mosaddek Hossain, Hasan Mahmud, Taskin Ahmed, Rishad Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman Zimbabwe : Brian Bennett, Ben Curran, Craig Ervine, Sikandar Raza (c), Brendan Taylor (wk), Ryan Burl, Brad Evans, Wessly Madhevere, Blessing Muzarabani, Wellington Masakadza, Newman Nyamhuri BAN vs ZIM: Player to Watch Out For Probable Best Batter Litton Das and Craig Ervine are two players who play big knock at a good strike rate. That makes them dangerous batters. Probable Best Bowler Blessing Muzarabani and Mustafizur Rahman will be effective on this wicket with their variations. Today Match Prediction: Both teams are good, but Bangladesh have been doing pretty well in recent times. Hence, Bangladesh will start this game as favorites.
