Zimbabwe v Bangladesh 3rd ODI – Team News

• Wesley Madhevere –  The promising batsman hit a half-century in the last game as Zimbabwe fell just short. He has plenty of ability but needs to find greater consistency.
• Luke Jongwe – The medium-pacer bowled well in the last game and took two wickets as the batsmen found him hard to get away.
• Shakib Al Hasan – The all-rounder starred with the bat in the 2nd ODI. He smashed an unbeaten 96 to help chase down Zimbabwe’s competitive total.
• Shoriful Islam – The left-arm medium-pacer had a fine impact in the last match. He took four wickets to be his side’s top bowler of the game.
• Mushfiqur Rahim – The Bangladesh wicket-keeper batsman is still unavailable after returning home due to family reasons.

Zimbabwe v Bangladesh 3rd ODI – Betting Tips and Predictions

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

Taylor for Top Batsman

Brendan Taylor will be vital to Zimbabwe’s chances here.

He is in solid form and made an important 46 before falling in unlucky circumstances as he caught his own stumps with the bat.

He looked ready to push on for a big score at the time and will be keen to put that right.

Taylor’s price of 3.75 with bet365 looks a good bet.

Zimbabwe Win is Value Pick

Picking Zimbabwe to take the outright win looks to have some decent value to it.

They are a side on the up, especially in this format, and pushed Bangladesh all the way in the previous clash.

Zimbabwe have also shown they are capable of causing an upset when bagging an ODI success against Pakistan earlier this year.

Their price of 4.02 with 1xBet is appealing.

The fact Bangladesh already have this series in the bag could mean they take their foot off the gas just enough for Zimbabwe to strike.

Shakib to Shine Again

Shakib Al Hasan is in eye-catching form at present and has contributed with both bat and ball this series.

He followed a five-for in the first ODI with an unbeaten 96 in the last match.

He is playing with plenty of confidence and it would be no surprise to see him in the thick of the action.

Backing him to get over 58.5 player performance points looks a solid selection at 1.83 with bet365.

Remember, he gets 20 points for each wicket, one point per run and 10 for a catch in the field.
