Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe Betting Tips
Bangladesh to score under 20.5 runs before 1st dismissal (1.85@ Parimatch)
Bangladesh played their last T20I series against Sri Lanka but could not perform very well in their opening order. Soumya Sarkar and Litton Das opened for the team in the three games and posted the scores of 0, 68 & 13 runs before losing the first wicket in the game. Going back to 2022 when the sides last collided, Bangladesh scored 10 runs for the 1st wicket before Soumya Sarkar dismissed out cheaply in the game.
In the first game of the series, Tanzid Hasan and Litton Das opened for the team. Hasan played a spectacular innings but Das lost his wicket pretty early in the game. The team posted 5 runs before their 1st dismissal. Zimbabwe has a decent bowling attack and will look to pick an early wicket in the next game.
Match Prediction Best Odds
Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe Toss Prediction
The Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium has a slow track that gives spinners a clear advantage. While the pitch might offer a decent contest between bat and ball early on, scoring runs becomes increasingly difficult as the game progresses due to the wearing down of the wicket. Skippers winning the toss would favour their chances batting first here and take an early lead with the bat here.
Weather Report
You can expect cloudy skies and scattered thunderstorms for this contest. With a maximum temperature of 35.0°C, there is a chance of rain during the match.
