Zimbabwe v Bangladesh 2nd ODI – Team News

• Blessing Muzarabani – The Zimbabwe pace bowler is in great form at the moment and keeps taking wickets across all formats. He has to fire again if Zimbabwe are to compete.
• Mushfiqur Rahim – The Bangladesh wicket-keeper batsman is unavailable for this tour after returning home due to family reasons.
• Luke Jongwe – The medium-pacer impressed at this ground in the T20Is against Pakistan and bowled with good economy in the first game. Wickets can follow.
• Liton Das – The Bangladesh opener was the star batsman for his side in the previous clash and will be keen to add more runs in this one.
• Mahmudullah – He is in fine form with the bat after he retired from Test cricket after his 150 in the Test match between these two. He then made a solid 33 in the 1st ODI and can have another big role to play.

Here are our free cricket tips and match predictions for this clash.

Back Taylor for Top Batsman

The experience of Brendan Taylor will again be key to Zimbabwe’s hope in this match.

He looks a great bet in the top Zimbabwe batsman market given their recent struggles with the willow.

Taylor is well-placed at three to make runs should his side lose an early wicket once more. He fell just as he was looking to kick on in the previous game but can go better here.

He hit 81 and 92 in the Test match between these sides to suggest he is in decent knick.

His price of 4.5 with bet365 is far too big not to be interested.

Jongwe is a Value Bet

Luke Jongwe was superb in the T20Is against Pakistan at this ground and offers plenty of value in the top Zimbabwe bowler odds.

The medium-pacer is hard to get away and wickets have followed his good economy rate.

He managed to bag three wickets in the last game and it would be no surprise to see if follow that up.

Jongwe is priced at 4.5 with 1xBet to be his team’s top wicket-taker.

Tamim to Hit Back

It is rare for Bangladesh skipper Tamim Iqbal to fail twice in quick succession.

The experienced opener fell for a duck in the first game and will be determined to put that right in this one.

That aside, he has been in good form recently and hit 66 in the warm-up game to this series.

His price of 3.6 with bet365 is appealing. He is more than capable of a big score if he can get himself set.
