Zimbabwe managed to recover after an early middle-order collapse with hard work from Clive Madande and Wellington Masakadza, although Bangladeshi bowler Taskin Ahmed’s precise bowling proved too much for Zimbabwe’s visitors in the bangladesh national cricket team vs zimbabwe national cricket team match scorecard.
Bangladesh were shown their strength at home conditions through Blessing Muzarabani’s strong performance and openers’ resilience on a spinner-friendly surface in the same bangladesh national cricket team vs zimbabwe national cricket team match scorecard.

Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe Test Series
The inaugural Test will take place from April 20-24 at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium before continuing at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram from April 28 – May 2. Both venues offer ideal spin-friendly conditions with strong home support for an exciting series.
Bangladesh have been given a boost with Mushfiqur Rahim returning as wicketkeeper-batsman; his experience can only help young teams, while Litton Das’ absence in Pakistan Super League leaves a major hole at the top of their order.
Zimbabwe have not played a Test in Bangladesh since July 2021 and will be eager to change that statistic on their return visit in four years. They also hope to find their rhythm with red-ball cricket after recent mixed white-ball performances; captain Craig Ervine will look for ways to recapture his form after an indifferent run of results; Sean Williams, Wellington Masakadza and Blessing Muzarabani could all prove pivotal players here.
Both sides will aim to improve their batting departments to match Zimbabwe’s relentless run-scoring pace, with players such as Shakib Al Hasan, Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Taijul Islam needing to be at their peak to compete with its aggressive attack.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh bowlers will rely on veteran seamer Rafiqul Islam and leg-spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz in an effort to regain dominance on pitches that favor spinners; Nazmul Hossain Shanto will provide much-needed stability in their top order.
Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe T20I Series
Bangladesh and Zimbabwe’s T20I series is set to provide both sides with valuable practice ahead of the 2024 T20 World Cup.

Bangladesh has won 13 games out of seven bilateral T20I series against Zimbabwe while winning just one match.

The opening Test match will take place at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on 20 April with its sequel taking place two days later at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram.
