Bangladesh lost the toss and were sent to bat first by Zimbabwe in the 4th match of the five-match T20I series on Friday in Dhaka, reports UNB.
Bangladesh made three changes to their playing XI, with Shakib Al Hasan, Soumya Sarkar, and Mustafizur Rahman returning to the fold.
Litton Das, Mahmudullah Riyad, and Mohammad Saifuddin were rested to accommodate their inclusion.
Shakib's return marks his first appearance in international T20 after a hiatus of over nine months.
Litton Das, the right-handed batter who has been struggling for form, was finally omitted from the lineup. His dismissal in the previous match raised eyebrows, as he attempted a scoop shot three times in a row, ultimately losing his wicket on the final attempt.
Soumya Sarkar makes a comeback after recovering from a long-term knee injury.
Tigers have already secured the series, having won the first three matches in Chattogram.
This series serves as crucial preparation for Bangladesh ahead of the T20I World Cup, which will be held in the USA and West Indies next month.
Meanwhile, before the match kicks off, the BCB will observe a one-minute silence to mourn the tragic demise of the Squadron Leader Mohammed Asim Jawad, who passed away in an aircraft accident on Thursday.
