Ryan Burl and Timycen Maruma ruled out due to injuries; Bangladesh unchanged

Zimbabwe choose to bat vs Bangladesh

Zimbabwe captain Brendan Taylor decided to bat first in the second ODI against Bangladesh in Harare. However, his counterpart Tamim Iqbal said it was a good toss to lose.

Taylor’s decision was based on the fact that he didn’t want to give his young players the pressure of chasing a total.

Zimbabwe have brought in Sikandar Raza and Tinashe Kamunhukamwe, who would be opening the innings with Tadiwanashe Marumani. They had to leave out Ryan Burl and Timycen Maruma due to injuries, while Bangladesh remained unchanged from their win in the previous match.

The hosts have also pushed Regis Chakabva up to No. 3 after he made a half-century in the first ODI.

Bangladesh: 1 Tamim Iqbal (capt), 2 Liton Das (wk), 3 Shakib Al Hasan, 4 Mohammad Mithun, 5 Mosaddek Hossain, 6 Mahmudullah, 7 Afif Hossain, 8 Mehidy Hasan Miraz, 9 Mohammad Saifuddin, 10 Taskin Ahmed, 11 Shoriful Islam

Zimbabwe: 1 Tinashe Kamunhukamwe, 2 Tadiwanashe Marumani, 3 Regis Chakabva (wk), 4 Brendan Taylor (capt), 5 Dion Myers, 6 Sikandar Raza, 7 Wesley Madhevere, 8 Luke Jongwe, 9 Blessing Muzarabani, 10 Tendai Chatara, 11 Richard Ngarava
