BAN have won the toss and elected to field first
Zimbabwe have won the one-off Test and the ODI series by 2-1
The first T20I between Bangladesh and Zimbabwe will be streamed live on the FanCode app and website in India
Bangladesh's tour of Zimbabwe moves to its final leg as they take on each other in the first T20I of the three-match series at the Queen Sports Club in Bulawayo on Wednesday, July 15.
Bangladesh have won the toss and elected to field first against the hosts. Zimbabwe have the dominant force in the tour so far, winning both the one-off Test match and the three-match ODI series by 2-1. Though Bangladesh will take heart from the crushing 7-wicket win in the final match of the One Day series, hosts Zimbabwe will enter the first match as favorites.
As we move from the ODI mode to the T20I, the focus will shift to wham bam cricket, but it won't be an easy task on the Bulawayo track that tends to be on the slower side and has big boundary dimensions to make free-flow hitting a bit difficult.
The team that'll adapt to the conditions of the pitch and the ground dimensions better and will adopt a more sensible approach with bat in hand is more favored to outclass the other on this venue.
