Zimbabwe in Bangladesh

[andrew_nixon]

News on cricinfo today that the two boards are in talks to add two four day games to this tour.

 

[Mav]

Both will have to compete, although I believe Bangladesh is a better side.

 

[andrew_nixon]

A three-day game and a four-day game have been added to the tour, although Zimbabwe will be represented officially by Zimbabwe A instead, although, as with Zimbabwe A's games against Kenya last year, it will be the full Zimbabwe side.

New Schedule

26th November: BCB President's XI v Zimbabwe at Savar
28th November: Twenty20 International at Khulna
30th November: 1st ODI at Khulna
3rd December: 2nd ODI at Bogra

A win for Zimbabwe in their warm up game

Zimbabwe win by 26 runs

Nkala looked good coming back after a long layoff. Seems to have given up bowling and become a batsman. Matsikenyeri did well opening. Nice to see Williams back, thought he refused to play for Zimbabwe. Mosharraff Hossain bowled well, what is he? A seamer or tweaker? Nazmul and Baishya did OK, Mehrab Hossain dissapointed with the bat.

In other news, Ashraful hammered a double-ton in domestic cricket -263 to be precise- and is back in the squad.

Twenty20 International Result

Bangladesh innings: 166 all out (Mashrafe Mortaza 36, Utseya 3/25)
Zimbabwe innings: 123/9 (Masakadza 35, Williams 38, Abdur Razzak 3/15)

Bangladesh win by 43 runs

 

[angryangy]

Mashrafe Mortaza and Mohammad Rafique should open in T20s. They are the two cleanest hitters in the side at times. The format is designed around players like them, look at Ian Harvey.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Yup. But nice overall performance. As I stated, Zimbabwe have no answer to the Bangla spinners. I don't think England would either TBH

 

[aussie1st]

Well Zimbabwe are stuffed looks like a series whitewash to Bangladesh who look leaps and bounds above Zimbabwe both in batting and bowling.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Bangla crush Zimbabwe by wickets in the first ODI. The spinners tangling their web again, none giving more than 30 away, with Razzak picking up 4.
Then Nafees clubbed another century and Ahmed 66 as they got there with more than 5 overs to spare.

To be honest, if they play in the 20/20 world cup, they would do really well, because they have alot of tight spinners who are really effective in that sort of game. Stuffed for batting though.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Batting is good too. Bashar, Ashraful, Nafees, Rafique, Masud and Mortaza can surely last 20 overs
