Bangladesh team is going to lose lot of fans tonight if they manage to lose this match and series. Management might find another reason to shit on players.
BCB has given opportunity to some players in this series to prove their capability. Most of the players are playing for themselves to ensure their position in the team, they aren't playing for the team. They aren't going to win the match if the player doesn't change their mentality. Everyone thought Bangladesh will dominate in the whole series against Zimbabwe. But the reality was different. I won't be surprised if Bangladesh team get whitewashed in the ODI series. The betting odds for the 3rd match is still in favour of Bangladesh.
We have seen past series of Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh. I forget the last time a Zimbabwean team won against Bangladesh. But the scenario of this series is completely different. Bangladesh was defeated in the T20 series. At the same time, Bangladesh lost the first two matches of the ODI series. Bangladesh is likely to be whitewashed. However, the Zimbabwe team has improved itself immensely. If the top-order players are consistent, Zimbabwe can compete against any strong team.
It was during the month of July 2021, Bangladesh played one test match, 3 ODI & 3 T-20. Bangladesh won the test match, won the ODI series 3-0, and the T-20 series 2-1. In a year's time things have changed and Zimbabwe have turned stronger.
