Zimbabwe has just pulled off a great victory against Bangladesh in the 1st T20I at the Harare Sports Club. The second match of the series is tomorrow and both sides will try to perform better. Bangladesh needs to perform better in the second match as they are now 1-0 down in the series. Zimbabwe on the other hand need not make any changes to their playing XI as they have won comprehensively by 17 runs.

Both teams have the best players in them. The Craig Ervine-captained Zimbabwe have a better chance of winning tomorrow’s game as they have proved themselves as worthy opponents.
Bangladesh also have a mix of experienced and new players in their midst. The experience of Litton Das will prove crucial for tomorrow’s game. Nurul Hasan is also an experienced campaigner for Bangladesh. But, now the fresh loss has put Bangladesh on the backfoot so they need to play very well.
