T20 World Cup: Bangladesh to face Zimbabwe tomorrow

Tigers will face confident Zimbabwe in the Super 12 match of Group 2 in Brisbane at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup on Sunday in a must-win game to keep the hope of going semis. 

Bangladeshi players are under pressure as they have been defeated by South Africa in the last match in Sydney while Ervine's are eyeing an unlikely tilt at a semi-final spot as his team defeated favourite Pakistan. 

Zimbabwe's form is as good as their fighting spirit, and the way they defended the 130 against Pakistan was proof.

On the other hand, Bangladesh are back in trouble in T20Is. After they beat the Netherlands in their first game, there was hope that the fast-bowling unit could keep them afloat if the batting can come in support. But it didn’t click against South Africa in the last match.

Zimbabwe have grown to be a fighting side in the last few years, culminating in their ODI and T20I series wins over Bangladesh in July 2022.

Probable X1: Soumya Sarkar, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Litton Das, Shakib Al Hasan (C), Afif Hossain, Nurul Hasan (Wicketkeeper), Mosaddek Hossain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, and Hasan Mahmud.
