Tamim Iqbal destroyed Zimbabwe in the second ODI

After taking an unassailable lead in the three-match ODI series, hosts Bangladesh will try to inflict a whitewash over Zimbabwe and continue their good form in 50-over cricket. Although Bangladesh crushed the visitors in the first ODI, Donald Tiripano and co. gave them a scare in the second game as they almost pulled off a memorable run chase.

Given the high-scoring second ODI that took place in Sylhet, one can expect an exciting match on the cards in the final ODI. Tamim Iqbal made a roaring return to form as he shattered the record of the highest individual score by a Bangladeshi batsman in ODI cricket, and the left-handed batsman will look to replicate the same performance once again.

Mohammad Mithun has also impressed with his quick cameos and will hold the key lower down the order while Mushfiqur Rahim, who scored a fifty in the last match, has been rested for this game and will in all likelihood be replaced by Afif Hossain. Besides, Mashrafe Mortaza stepped down as Bangladesh's captain and it will be interesting to see who will lead the side.

On the other hand, Zimbabwe will be very happy with the way their middle order performed in the second match. The trio of Wesley Medhvere, Sikandar Raza and Tiripano scored a fifty each, however, the visitors fell short of the target by just 4 runs. Sean Williams will hope that his men end the series on a winning note.
