The home team has won the toss and elected to field. I believe it could be because the dew factor might come into play later on in the innings.
Teams:
Bangladesh (Playing XI): Tamim Iqbal, Anamul Haque, Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah, Mushfiqur Rahim(w), Nasir Hossain, Sabbir Rahman, Mashrafe Mortaza(c), Rubel Hossain, Sunzamul Islam, Mustafizur Rahman
Zimbabwe (Playing XI): Hamilton Masakadza, Solomon Mire, Peter Moor(w), Craig Ervine, Sikandar Raza, Tendai Chisoro, Tendai Chatara, Graeme Cremer(c), Kyle Jarvis, Chris Mpofu, Brandon Mavuta
Build Up
Bangladesh will kickoff their home tri-series with a game versus Zimbabwe in Dhaka. The Mortaza-led side will look to revive their fortunes in the 50-over format after they slipped to a 3-0 loss in South Africa.
Bangladesh have made a few changes to their set-up with the likes of Mithun and Anamul Haque returning to the squad. Mortaza, Shakib, Tamim and Rahim, however, still form the core of the line-up. With Hathurusingha moving to Sri Lanka, they will be coached by Richard Halsall for the series. Khaled Mahmud, the manager, is also expected to share responsibilities.
On the other hand, the Cremer-led Zimbabwe will aim to build on their good work in Sri Lanka where they clinched the five-match series. The visitors will be bolstered by the return of Jarvis and Taylor to ODI colours.
