The pitch at the Harare Sports Club has been fairly good for batting with not many demons into it. Chasing turned out to be a tad tough and hence, teams may opt to bat first, put runs on the board and then exert pressure on the opposition.

Probable best batsman of the match

Wesley Madhevere– Zimbabwe

Wesley Madhevere has been outstanding in the three-match T20I series. He is currently the leading run-scorer, having churned out 96 runs at an average of 48 and strike rate of 120. The right-hander is fresh from scoring a half-century in the previous game and will be looking to carry his form. Madhevere, however, will be looking to improve on his bowling performance.

Probable best bowler of the match

Shoriful Islam- Bangladesh         

Shoriful Islam has bowled exceptionally for Bangladesh ever since he made his debut earlier this year. In two matches thus far, he has picked up five wickets at an impressive economy rate of 7.14. He bowls in the powerplay and at the death, and therefore his numbers look stupendous. In the decider, Shoriful can’t afford to drop his guard by any stretch of the imagination.

Today’s match prediction: Bangladesh to win the match.
