Bangladesh is preparing for the World Cup
Bangladesh is entering the field today (Friday) with the first match of the five-match T20 series against Zimbabwe. The match will be held at Zahoor Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong at 6 pm. The match will be broadcast live by T-Sports.
At one time the match between Bangladesh and Zimbabwe meant added excitement. That situation has changed somewhat. In the course of time, Zimbabwe has lost its former glory. The team is missing the ICC event for the third time in a row due to poor performances. All in all, even if there is not the same excitement as before, there is some excitement in the fight between the two teams. Cricket lovers have the opportunity to enjoy the fight between the two teams for the next few days.
On paper, Zimbabwe is not a tough opponent. Statistics also say that. Bangladesh-Zimbabwe have met 20 times in T20 so far. Bangladesh won 13 of them and Zimbabwe won 7. They defeated Zimbabwe by 3 runs in the last T20 World Cup held in Brisbane on October 30, 2022. But the latest series could be an inspiration for Zimbabwe. Sikandar Raja’s team had the last laugh in the last series against Bangladesh. They won the series by defeating Bangladesh at home in 2022.
