ZIM vs BAN Preview
- In six attempts, Zimbabwe has failed to defeat Bangladesh in a T20I series (3-lost & 3-drawn).
- Despite playing against associate teams, Zimbabwe have won their last 5 T20I games.
- After the most recent World Cup, Bangladesh’s T20I record is 1-6 in favor of wins and losses.
On Saturday in the early afternoon, Zimbabwe and Bangladesh will play the first of a three-game IT20 series at the Harare Sports Club. On July 17 in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe won their final match played in this format. On July 16, Bangladesh lost their most recent IT20 match at Guyana. Beginning at 13:00 local time, the game.
Zimbabwe has already this month defeated Singapore, Jersey, the United States, Papua New Guinea, and the Netherlands at home in IT20 matches. They have home field advantage in this series and are playing good cricket.
Over the past ten months, Bangladesh has had one of the worst records in this format. They have only faced elite opposition, so they will be confident going into Zimbabwe.

Bangladesh are the favorite to win this match.
There are three reasons for Zimbabwe to be positive despite the fact that Bangladesh are the favorites going into this match. The Tigers are missing some of their best players, Bangladesh has a dismal track record in this format, and Zimbabwe was simply too powerful for the opposition earlier this month. Overall, we think the game will be close, but Bangladesh, who have the better players, are the favorites to win.
