The one-off Test between Zimbabwe and Bangladesh is set to take place at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo on Wednesday.
Bangladesh are back in action as they kickstart their season with a one-off Test against Zimbabwe. Despite their star batsman Mushfiqur Rahim missing out, Bangladesh boasts a resourceful unit filled with youth and experience. Led by Mominul Haque, Bangladesh will be eyeing a win to kickstart their tour. But it's easier said than done.
Zimbabwe are a force to be reckoned with in the longest format. With the likes of Craig Ervine and Brendan Taylor to fall back on, Zimbabwe will ideally fancy their chances in the one-off Test. However, they will need to fire with both the bat and ball with all their hopes pinned on Blessing Muzarabani. Although Zimbabwe doesn't boast the same experience as their more accomplished counterparts, they pack a punch, with young Dion Myers being one to watch out for. All in all, an entertaining game of cricket beckons, with both sides eyeing a win in this fixture.

Pitch Report
A relatively good batting track beckons at the Queens Sports Club, with there being some help on offer for the bowlers as well. Extra bounce and swing should be available for the pacers, with the batsmen having to bide their time in the middle. As the match progresses, the spinners will come into play given the turn on offer. Both teams will want to bat first upon winning the toss, with the weather being clear for the duration of the game.
