– Shakib Al Hasan looks safest captain choice considering his one down batting and full overs with the bowl.
– Taking punt on Madhevere as VC as he’s opening the innings for ZIM and bowling 5-6 overs too.
– Expecting Liton to play a good knock in this match as he went out very early during the last one.
– Burl might be a decent punt considering his middle order batting and at least 5-6 overs with the bowl.
– Took three pacers from Bangladesh as they will be crucial again in front of the weak batting lineup of Zimbabwe.
– Expecting good fantasy points again from Jongwe considering his 4-5 down batting and full overs with the bowl.

– Going a bit heavy on Zimbabwe as they might turn up their fortune by winning this match.
– Drooped Liton Das as he might not score that big in two consecutive matches.
– Burl and Madhevere might be good punt C/VCs considering their batting order in top six and at least 5-6 overs with the bowl each.
– Mehidy Hasan might be a good punt as he can score some decent runs if top order of Bangladesh depart early and expected to bowl 5-6 overs too.
– Can try Tamim Iqbal or Shakib Al Hasan as safe C/VC choices with Burl and Madhevere.
