The 2nd T20I between Zimbabwe and Bangladesh will be played today at the Harare Sports Club in Harare. Despite the absence of their captain Tamim Iqbal, Bangladesh produced a solid performance to win the first T20I. Bangladesh easily chased down a difficult score, with Mohammad Naim’s heroics at the top of the order. Their bowling attack was also in fine form, with Mustafizur Rahman taking three wickets to help them to victory.
Zimbabwe had shown their toughness, with Chakabva continuing his stellar white-ball form. If they overcame Bangladesh for the first time on this tour, he would need Dion Myers and skipper Sikandar Raza to put up strong performances. They will be underdogs going into this game but expect the home team to perform better in this match with the series on the line.
Weather
The playing conditions are ideal for the game, with a bright sunny weather forecast with a temperature range from 21 to 25 degrees Celsius.
Pitch
The spinners will benefit from the track at Harare Cricket Club. Because the surface is a little slower, faster bowlers will have to use many cutters and variations to get something off the wicket. Even though it is mostly a slow surface, scores in the 160-170 range are expected.
