Zimbabwe’s unexpected win against Pakistan in ICC T20 World Cup 2022 on Thursday. This has made the group 2 interesting for all the teams but has left Pakistan stranded in ifs and buts to progress further in the tournament.
BAN vs ZIM Match Preview: In the Coming match of the ICC T20 world cup of two underdogs. Bangladesh and Zimbabwe will struggle to roll up the table and make their spot in the tournament.
As both team’s performances are up to the mark and unexpected cricket seen by the teams in the past few matches of the ICC T20 World Cup.
Bangladesh
Bangladesh failed to win the last match over South Africa as they could not chase the total of 205, with no so strong batting line up they batters managed to put 101 on the score board in total. Ahence lost with a big margin. The Tigers had no option but to bat recklessly after conceding such large score in big Australian grounds, they need a significantly improved bowling line to restrict the opponents. Strong line up and changes are needed in the Bangladesh teams to get back in the game.
Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe will look to carry the momentum they got from the last match win against Pakistan, Cricket fans were stunned to see how the Pakistan in form batters struggled to bat against the Zimbabwe bowlers in the last match of ICC T20 World cup. They will hunt again for the win over the Bangladesh as the team is still recovering from a big loss and Zimbabwe has good in form bowlers that restricted such small scores from the other end. This match can fetch them a place for the semis, after gaining the fortunate points they slide up to no 3. in the group table.
Who can win the game?
Zimbabwe has already defeated Bangladesh in a T20I series this year and won’t be in the least bit afraid of the injured Tigers. Especially after seeing how thoroughly South Africa destroyed them. With everyone executing their part effectively and knowing their job, momentum is on Craig Ervine’s side. Zimbabwe will look on the star bowler of the last match Sikander Raza to back the lineup. It wouldn’t be surprising to see them given plenty of fun against a Bangladesh bowling attack. They lack in confidence given how well the Australian conditions seem to have suited them.
Therefore, really considering Zimbabwe to win the “Super 12’s”.
