Masakadza returns as Zimbabwe bowl; Bangladesh rest Shoriful, Mahedi
Written by I Dig SportsToss Zimbabwe chose to field vs Bangladesh
The visitors were forced to leave Richard Ngarava out of the XI due to an injury. Faraz Akram took his place. They also have Wellington Masakadza back from the concussion concerns, with Ainsley Ndlovu making way.
The hosts rested Shoriful Islam and Mahedi Hasan, bringing in Tanzim Hasan and Tanvir Islam in their place.
The changes meant Bangladesh will have a shortened batting line-up with Rishad Hossain likely to bat at No 7. Zimbabwe though have seven batters before their allrounders come into the picture.
Bangladesh: 1 Tanzid Hasan, 2 Litton Das, 3 Najmul Hossain Shanto (capt), 4 Towhid Hridoy, 5 Mahmudullah, 6 Jaker Ali (wk), 7 Rishad Hossain, 8 Mohammad Saifuddin, 9 Taskin Ahmed, 10 Tanzim Hasan, 11 Tanvir Islam
Zimbabwe: 1 Joylord Gumbie (wk), 2 Tadiwanashe Marumani, 3 Craig Ervine, 4 Sikandar Raza (capt), 5 Clive Madande, 6 Brian Bennett, 7 Jonathan Campbell, 8 Luke Jongwe, 9 Wellington Masakadza, 10 Faraz Akram, 11 Blessing Muzarabani
