Preview:
Zimbabwe and Bangladesh will lock horns in a one-off Test match, here at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo. Zimbabwe’s last Test series was horrific. In a two-match Test series against Pakistan, Zimbabwe were handed a whitewash.
On the other hand, Bangladesh’s current records in the longest format of the game is not something to be proud of either. They lost their last Test against Sri Lanka. The Tigers will be aiming to have a better outcome in Zimbabwean soil.
