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

Bangladesh were handed a disappointing defeat by the hosts Zimbabwe in the first ODI of the three-match series on Friday, August 5 when the two teams met in Harare. While the visitors have been dominating the ODI format in their recent fixtures, Zimbabwe did the unexpected and handed them a defeat in an absolute thriller.

The two teams will clash again for the second ODI of the series where Zimbabwe will try to clinch the series and script history. On the other hand, Bangladesh would look to plot an act of revenge and bounce back stronger to level the series. The loss in the first match would have been difficult for them to consume given their T20I series loss earlier this week.

ZIM vs BAN Pitch Report

The T20I series supported the bowlers more, but the first ODI saw the batters pile up runs without losing many wickets. Thus, the pitch will most likely favour the batters this time again, and they would look to make the most out of it by scoring big. This game is also anticipated to be a high-scoring thriller.
