Power Play scores:
Team Bangladesh quite some time playing some quality game of cricket and with a lesser strong opponent Zimbabwe their openers will try to score as many runs as possible during the powerplay overs. And one can expect Bangladesh to put 45 to 50 runs in the first six overs. While Zimbabwe might score 40-45 runs during the power play overs.
Death Over scores:
Bangladesh has some destructive batters in their line-up and if they managed to stay as their reputation then it will be tough for Zimbabwe bowlers to restrict them. Considering their caliber and specialty to hit maximums in the final overs, one can say they might have 55-60 runs in the final few overs. While Zimbabwe can put 50 to 55 runs in the last four overs.
Overall scores:
Bangladesh might put 170-180 runs on board in their 20-over quota. While Zimbabwe could score 130-140 runs if they batted first.
Who will win Today’s match between BAN vs ZIM?
Bangladesh is a much stronger side on the table and with the kind of series they have been against the West Indies, their confidence is at an all-time high and they will look to carry forward that momentum to create history by starting their campaign with a win. While Zimbabwe will also look to start on a positive note as they also have an upper hand in playing at their home. But considering both teams’ recent performances we can say that Bangladesh might win the 1st T20 match.
