ZIM vs BAN Match Details
Match: Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh, 2nd ODI | Bangladesh tour of Zimbabwe
Date: Sunday, 7 August 2022
Time: 12:45 (GMT+5.5) / 13:15 (GMT+6)
Format: ODI
Venue: Harare Sports Club, Harare
ZIM vs BAN Preview
- With their victory in ODIs against Bangladesh, Zimbabwe snapped a 19-match losing streak.
- A loss in this game will also stop Bangladesh’s streak of winning their past five ODI series.
- Zimbabwe last won an ODI series in 2019 against the UAE, following which they went on to lose 7 and tie 1 series.
On Sunday morning at the Harare Sports Club, Zimbabwe plays Bangladesh in the second of three one-day international matches. On Friday, the hosts won the first match of the series by a margin of five wickets. Zimbabwe reached the mark with 10 balls left after Bangladesh scored 303-2. At 09:15 local time, the second ODI will start.
Zimbabwe can now boast victories in two competitions, and the IT20 victory can no longer be viewed as an anomaly. They can bat, but watching how their bowlers do against more aggressive intent will be intriguing.
Bangladesh would have felt pretty secure at the halfway point of the game, but they lacked the bowling to challenge the hitters. We anticipate that the complete bowling attack will improve.

Weather delays are not anticipated for this game as Harare is predicted to enjoy sunny skies with only a 20% probability of rain.

ZimbabweTeam News & Probable Playing XIs

Bangladesh team News & Probable Playing XIs
As opener Liton Das is anticipated to miss the remainder of the series after injuring his hamstring on Friday, there will be at least one alteration to The Tigers’ starting lineup. When he had to retire hurt and was taken off the field on a stretcher, he was 81, not out. Najmul Hossain Shanto will likely take the position at the head of the list.
