Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh prediction

Zimbabwe may have initially thought their score of 141 was way too light against Bangladesh on Monday. But an excellent bowling surface combined with an awesome showing with the ball saw the hosts roll out their opponents for only 116 to seal an unlikely 25-run victory, highlighting the excitement that a low-scoring game can bring to ODI cricket.

Bangladesh were extremely poor but this is a team who have achieved a lot recently when considering how they played against Australia and it would be foolish to write them off early. The pendulum can swing very quickly in white ball cricket and backing them to put things right and level the series should be seriously considered.
