Agree with Eshen...
I reckon, we will get the every answers of the questions after the end of the series. Bangladesh should have won the T20 also but 4 run out's are worth disappointing indeed.
But my feeling is that Bangladesh has got better match practise than Zimbabwe since WI tour was much long.
Zimbabwe will also be boosted by the availability of Taylor, Coventry, Vermeulen, Williams.
Equal to expecting a good contest and competitive cricket.
Bangladesh Tours Zim on a High
Re: Bangladesh Tours Zim on a High
There are always two sides of an argument though - one can argue the long WI tour may have conditioned Bangladesh players better for the next series, while another can argue Bangladesh players should be already little fatigued after the long tour and their condition will get worse as the five match ODI series progress. Our batsmen clearly showed lack of focus in the T20I, and fatigue could have been a major factor behind it. Most of our players still are in their early twenties, so their endurance may not be great.Detective RDS wrote:

Re: Bangladesh Tours Zim on a High
Im not really worried about Mahmudullah {27 matches, 14 wkts, 57.50avg}and Naeem Islam {14 matches, 14wkt, 35,21} they bow right arm offbreaks. Zim batsmen struggled against left handers Shakib and Razzak with the exception of Sean Williams who is left handed. I talked to Tino Mawoyo he said thats the main reason Zim is likely to pick Dabengwa and any left hander for Bang matches. Also these two are not of the same quality as Shakib and Razzak..
12.4 Odhiambo to Vermeulen, FOUR, that's an appalling long hop, Vermulen had plenty of time to get into position, drink a cup of tea, and pull the ball towards the long leg boundary- his first boundary today
Re: Bangladesh Tours Zim on a High
Surely we have better left hander's than Dabengwa in the zim domestic set up. What about players like prince masvaure who can bowl or bat or maybe barney rogers once he gets a few domestic games under his belt
