ZIM vs BAN Match Prediction, 2nd T20I – Who will win today’s match between Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh?

Zimbabwe and Bangladesh will lock horns in the second contest of three-T20I series on the 31st of July at the Harare Sports Club. The host nation recently won the T20 World Cup Qualifier final against the Netherlands and both the finalists qualified for the T20 World Cup. The Craig Ervine-led side will have some match winners in their lineup and will be looking to put up a good performance.

On the other hand, the Bangladesh side is coming off a 3-0 victory against West Indies in the ODI series recently, and they will be fancying their chances against the Zimbabwe side. The Nurul Hasan-led side will miss Mahmudullah in the series. However, this will be a chance for the youngsters in the batting group to shine. They also have some experienced campaigners including the batter Liton Das.

ZIM vs BAN, 2nd T20I Probable Top Performers

Probable best batter

Liton Das:

Liton Das has grown in heaps and bounds in the last few years in international cricket across formats and he will be key to the success of the Bangladesh side. The right-hander has played some match-winning innings in recent times and he will back himself to get a big score in the upcoming T20I. The 27-year-old can be destructive at the top of the order with a strike rate of 122.19 and an average of 20 in T20Is so far.

Probable best bowler

Mustafizur Rahman:

Mustafizur Rahman remains Bangladesh’s biggest asset in the bowling attack and most of the batters have had a tough time facing him, especially in the limited-overs format. With his ability to bowl the quick-off cutters and a disguised yorker, Mustafizur becomes one of the potent options for the Bangladesh side. The 26-year-old has an economy rate of 7.65 in T20Is despite bowling the tough overs for his side.
