Zimbabwe (ZIM) will look to double their lead and seal the series when they take on Bangladesh (BAN)in the second T20I on Friday, July 17. The venue is once again the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo.
After winning the ODI series 2-1, Zimbabwe started the T20Is in style, emerging victorious in the first game by 32 runs. Brian Bennett and Co. helped the Chevrons post a competitive total of 170/6 despite a stunning four-for from Nahid Rana.
However, Blessing Muzarabani and Richard Ngarava bagged four wickets apiece to dismiss the touring side for just 138 in 19 overs. Yasir Ali scored a valiant half-century but didn’t get enough support from his fellow batters. Bangladesh would want to bounce back strongly on Friday and draw level in the series.
