Tough going for Chevrons as Bangladesh win toss, opt to bat

Ervine Craig and his men have their work cut out for them after Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan won the toss and decided to bat against Zimbabwe in their crucial T20 World Cup match on today.

Zimbabwe will have to rely on its spinners to keep Bangladesh in check as the Chevrons have not been doing too well on adding up runs.

Bangladesh made one change, bringing in Yasir Ali in place of Mehidy Hasan, while Zimbabwe replaced Luke Jongwe with Tendai Chatara in their playing XI.

Zimbabwe are coming into the match after their one-run win against Pakistan in Perth, while Bangladesh lost their last match against South Africa by 104 runs.

Zimbabwe: Wesley Madhevere, Craig Ervine (c), Sean Williams, Sikandar Raza, Regis Chakabva (w), Milton Shumba, Ryan Burl, Tendai Chatara, Richard Ngarava, Brad Evans, Blessing Muzarabani.

Bangladesh: Najmul Hossain Shanto, Soumya Sarkar, Litton Das, Shakib Al Hasan (c), Afif Hossain, Yasir Ali, Nurul Hasan (w), Mosaddek Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman, Hasan Mahmud, Taskin Ahmed.
