ZIM vs BAN Match Details
Match: Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh, 3rd ODI | Bangladesh tour of Zimbabwe
Date: Wednesday, 10 August 2022
Time: 12:45 (GMT+5.5) / 13:15 (GMT+6)
Format: ODI
Venue: Harare Sports Club, Harare
ZIM vs BAN Preview
- The series’ two games thus far have seen unbroken centuries from all-arounder Sikandar Raza. He is our choice to score the most runs for Zimbabwe on Wednesday. Victor Nyauchi took 1-39 and was efficient with the ball, but Raza took 3-56. In this match, Raza is our pick to take the most wickets for Zimbabwe.
- In the second ODI, Tamim Iqbal hit 50 runs off of 45 balls, with 46 of those runs coming off of boundaries. He is our pick to be Bangladesh’s leading run-scorer when they play Zimbabwe. Mehidy Hasan Miraz took 2-50 on Sunday and has also benefited from this surface. The spinner is an excellent candidate to be Bangladesh’s leading wicket-taker.
- We advise betting on Tamim Iqbal, the captain of Bangladesh, to score more than 36.5 runs. He has performed exceptionally well in this setting.
On Wednesday, Zimbabwe and Bangladesh will play their third and final one-day international at the Harare Sports Club. After defeating Bangladesh in the first and second games, Zimbabwe has already clinched the series. Both victories had margins of five wickets. The match starts at 9:15 local time.
Zimbabwe has won both games and now has both the ODI and IT20 series from last week. They are exceedingly challenging to contain, especially with Sikandar Raza playing some of his finest cricket ever.
Before this tour even began, Bangladesh already lacked some of its best players, and the injuries to Liton Das and Mustafizur Rahman have made them even less strong. They still possess enough talent, though, to triumph in this game.
ZIM vs BAN Weather Report
It will be mostly sunny with a cool beginning to the game. It will immediately reach 25 degrees, and later in the day, it could even reach 27.
ZIM vs BAN Match Toss Prediction
Before both games, the hosts elected to field first, and they won both times. If either captain opted to bat first in this series last match, it would be unexpected.
ZIM vs BAN Pitch Report
This Harare pitch has undoubtedly twisted and provided the spinners with the most assistance thus far. The pitch is predicted to play similarly with a par score of 310-315.

Bangladesh team News & Probable Playing XIs
Two XI changes were made by Bangladesh on Sunday because to injuries. Mustafizur Rahman, a left-arm fast bowler, joined the injured Liton Das on the sidelines. Liton Das had already been ruled out of the game due to a hamstring injury. Mustafizur is also not someone we anticipate seeing in this game.

Bangladesh are the favorite to win this match.
It will be interesting to see how this game turns out because the hosts already have the series in the bag. Will Sikandar Raza be able to continue his recent success at the plate, or will Bangladesh’s seasoned batting lineup produce some high totals? We anticipate that this match will be close once more, but Bangladesh will prevail.
