Cricket Prediction | Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe | 4th T20I | May 10 – Will the visiting ZIM be able to prevent the whitewash by defeating the host BAN?

BAN vs ZIM Match Analysis

Bangladesh, playing at home, defeated Zimbabwe in the third Twenty20 International on Tuesday to win the five match series. The final two dead rubber matches are now up for grabs. On May 10 at 5:30 PM IST, Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka will host the fourth Twenty20 match between BAN and ZIM.

Bangladesh put in a great effort and won the series. They have performed exceptionally well, taking the lead in both batting and bowling. They intend to aim for a perfect sweep, winning five games in a row. Zimbabwe has played mediocrely thus far, but in the most recent game, they played a little better. They have a good team, but they must take advantage of opportunities when they take a wicket or settle a batter.

BAN vs ZIM Team Preview & Squads

Bangladesh

Bangladesh has added Shakib Al Hasan, Mustafizur Rahman, and Soumya Sarkar to the team for the final two Twenty20 Internationals in preparation for the upcoming T20 World Cup. Given their importance to the forthcoming ICC mega event, they will undoubtedly be included in the starting 11.

With 127 runs in three games at a strong strike rate of 156.79, Towhid Hridoy leads all run scorers in the series. He appears to be in confident form, so we anticipate seeing more of him at this new location. After scoring 106 runs at a respectable strike rate of 120.45 in three games, Tanzid Hasan has also hit triple digits. His methodical batting approach will be advantageous on the Dhaka bowling surface.

On this pitch, Taskin Ahmed may be a lethal bowler due to his good pace and bounce. The Zimbabwean hitters will find it challenging to face him. With an average of just 8.83, Taskin has claimed six wickets in three games. With seven wickets in three matches, including two three-wicket hauls in the first and third Twenty20 matches, Mohammad Saifuddin has been very effective this series. With a 13.43 average, he is bowling. Bangladesh will have confidence following their series victory. They are going to have fun playing in the series’ first leg in Dhaka, and they are hoping to win the next few games.

Bangladesh Squads

Bangladesh

Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Jaker Ali (wk), Tanvir Islam, Taskin Ahmed, Shakid Al Hasan, Soumya Sarkar, Tanzid Hasan, Mustafizur Rahman, Towhid Hridoy, Mahmudullah, and Mohammad Saifuddin.

Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe can’t quite surpass Bangladesh overall, although some noteworthy efforts are made. They were closer to winning the last game, therefore we anticipate the same starting lineup. Jonathan Campbell leads Zimbabwe in scoring with 66 runs in just two games. At 194.12, he is batting with an aggressive strike rate. Campbell struck a crucial 21 from just 10 deliveries in the last game when the batting order collapsed like a house of cards. With no assistance from any batters, Tadiwanashe Marumani scored 31 runs off of 26 pitches in the most recent game. He assisted the squad in getting close to the goal. With an average of 119.23, he batted.

In the past few years, Muzarabani’s involvement in the T20 competitions has garnered a great deal of interest. At a 16.50 average, he has claimed 4 wickets in 3 games. The bowling strike rate for Muzarabani in 49 Twenty20 Internationals is 18.47. We support Sikandar Raza as a crucial spin bowler on the Shere Bangla Stadium surface even if he has only managed to take one wicket thus far. He has amassed 1858 runs and taken 59 wickets in 84 Twenty20 Internationals. It required three games for Zimbabwe to eventually become accustomed to the Chattogram pitch. Although they were only 8 runs short of the goal, they were quite close. In the fourth game, they have an opportunity to recover.

Zimbabwe Squads

Zimbabwe

Sikandar Raza (c), Joylord Gumbi (wk), Faraz Akram, Luke Jongwe, Tadiwanashe Marumani, Craig Ervine, Wellington Masakadza, Brian Bennett, Clive Madande, Blessing Muzarabani, and Johnathan Campbell.

BAN vs ZIM outfield report

Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur

Bangladesh chose to bowl first after winning the toss in each of the three games. The toss winner will probably bowl first because Zimbabwe successfully chased in the first two matches but only managed to fall eight runs short in the third. The weather forecast for Dhaka on Friday indicates a significant likelihood of rain. It is predicted that the temperature will stay close to 27°C.

The bowling pitch at Shere Bangla Stadium makes it difficult for hitters to record large innings. Before taking powerful swings, the hitters need to settle in. Roughly 135 is the average innings score. Spinners will be used later in the game, giving fast bowlers greater opportunities to take wickets.
