BAN vs ZIM Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Updates For 1st T20I

Bangladesh is getting ready to play Zimbabwe in a short T20 series as they look forward to preparing for the T20 World Cup in June.

Preview

With the T20 World Cup around the corner, Bangladesh is set to play a short series at home against Zimbabwe. It will serve as a good warm up for the home team as they are in the same group as South Africa and Sri Lanka with Nepal and Netherlands rounding of the group.

Bangladesh (BAN) have been a force to be reckoned with in their own home conditions. The series against Zimbabwe will allow the hosts to get their players back in rhythm for the huge tournament ahead.

Zimbabwe (ZIM), on the other hand, will not be playing in the tournament but will want to make a statement. Sikandar Raza and his men will be looking to not only put the hosts under pressure but also make a statement with their performances during the series.

Pitch Report

Considering the hot and humid conditions being witnessed in the subcontinent, the pitch could help the team batting second. The best time to bat will be when the ball is hard and new as there will be good carry on the wicket. The spinners will come into play towards the latter half of the game. There could be a bit of dew in the second half aiding the chasing team.

The diminutive batter is soon making a name for himself as a very aggressive batter and a clean striker of the ball. There will be many chances to prove himself as Towhid Hridoy will play a key role in the series against Zimbabwe with the bat.
