Zimbabwe recover after Bangladesh's early strikes
||Desk Report||
Bangladesh and Zimbabwe are facing each other in the dead rubber third and final ODI at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury in Chittagong.
Bangladesh won the toss and elected to field first. Abu Hider and Mohammad Saifuddin justified the decision by removing the openers within the third over.
Hamilton Masakadza was out bowled by Hider for 2 runs and Saifuddin rattled the stumps of Cephas Zhuwao for naught.
Brandon Taylor and Sean Williams have again put up a rescue act, restoring the Zimbabwean innings. Taylor has made 46 runs so far and Williams is currently batting on 31. Bangladesh are yet to introduce their spinners into the attack.
Zimbabwe are on a 12-ODI losing streak now and they have also failed to win any of their last 12 ODIs against Bangladesh. They will be desperate to change that in this match while Bangladesh, who sealed the series in the second match, will look to complete a clean sweep over the Chevrons.
