Bangladesh skipper Mashrafee bin Murtaza said on Saturday that he is confident that his team mates will be able to cope against Zimbabwe despite all the unpredictability.
The announcement came ahead of the series against Zimbabwe whom the host is not taking lightly as they will now have all of their senior players in the team, in a three-ODI series starting on October 21.

''It is very difficult to predict about the wicket at Mirpur. It behaves differently at different times. It will be very difficult to say beforehand. However, I am expecting that 250-260 will be enough for a good match and the team batting first will have a better chance,'' said Mashrafee ahead of the home series against Zimbabwe.
''The Mirpur wicket changes its behavior all of a sudden and those, who are batting, have to change their mindset accordingly. But we got used to this place a lot, because most senior players have been playing on this wicket for 10 years. So we got used to this place a lot,'' he said.
''Those who play in domestic cricket have become accustomed [to its nature]. It is positive from the perspective that it becomes a little difficult for the opponent as well. Since we started winning from 2015, I believe our record is good at this ground until and unless some mental weaknesses made us lose. I think our adjustment on this wicket will not be bad,'' he said
''What happens in Chittagong is the wickets are generally batting wickets. This wicket here [in Dhaka] is not like that. It behaves differently after the first half. But I'm sure our boys will not give any excuses after playing here for so long,'' he added.
