Bangladesh U-19s

Towhid Hridoy will be the player to watch out for from the Bangladesh team as the batsman has drawn the attention of the cricket fans with his consistency. Skipper Akbar Ali will hope that Hridoy churns up a quality knock to get them off to a positive start. The all-round duo of Shamim Hossain and Mirttunjoy Chowdhury will need to contribute with bat and ball, while Shoriful Islam and Tanzim Hasan will lead Bangladesh's bowling attack.

Possible XI: Ali, Tanzid, Hridoy, Joy, Nawrose, Hossain, Chowdhury, Shahadat, Shoriful, Tanzim and Murad.

Zimbabwe U-19s

The Zimbabwe U-19 team has not been in the best form of late but Dion Myers' men have the calibre to upset Bangladesh U-19s. Dane Schadendorf will don the gloves for them while Milton Shumba and Wesley Madhevere will be the impact players for Zimbabwe. Privilege Chesa and Dylan Grant will lead the bowling unit and will need to take up the onus of picking up early wickets and piling pressure on their opponents.

Possible XI: Schadendorf, Shumba, Tugwete, Oldknow, Ebrahim, Madhvere, Myers, Bawa, Chesa, Grant and Nyangani.

BN-U19 vs ZIM-U19 Dream11 tips

Wicket-keeper: Akbar Ali, the Bangladesh captain, can be backed to perform well in the batting department. He will be the top pick from the wicket-keepers' section.

Batsmen: Towhid Hridoy is in incredible form while Tanzid Hasan from Bangladesh has also shown that he can produce a big inning. Since Zimbabwe do not have a strong bowling attack, it will be a good move to include both the Bangladesh batsmen. From the African side, Milton Shumba will be a decent pick.

All-rounders: Wesley Madhevere can trouble the Bangladesh batsmen with his right-arm off-break besides contributing with the bat lower down the order. Zimbabwe skipper Dion Myers also offers some valuable points with his medium pace and ability with the bat holding him in good stead to begin the tournament on a positive note. Shamim Hossain is the best all-rounder present in the Bangladesh team with the youngster scoring a quick-fire 33-ball 59* against Australia in the warm-up encounter.

Bowlers: It will be a tough task to pick the bowlers as very little is known about their past performances. Privilege Chasa and Tadiwanashe Nyangani will be the premier bowling options from Zimbabwe, while from Bangladesh, Shahdat Hossain can be expected to make the maximum impact.

Captain: Towhid Hridoy is the leading candidate for the captain's position followed by Dion Myers from Zimbabwe. For the vice-captain's role, the team owners can pick either Milton Shumba or Tanzid Hasan.
