Zimbabwe skipper, Brendan Taylor, comes in as one of the most potent threats for the Bangladeshi team. Following an exceptional batting performance during the recent Test match against the visiting team, the captain seems to be in quite fit form to offer
another best run on the upcoming fixture.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Taylor-c92915 went on to serve his team proud after scoring a notable 71 runs in opening innings of the recent Test match against Bangladesh. The player went on to secure an exceptional ton on the second innings, aiding his recently exiled side into securing a
triumphant win.
With an impressive ODI profile to his name, Taylor, is surely the pivotal member on the hosting side. The middle order batsman has played 118 ODI games, earning some fair 3412 runs off the lost.
Hamilton Masakadza
One down batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/H-Masakadza-c1517, is another exceptional and forceful batting talent on the Zimbabwean squad. Coming in as one down player, Masakadza’s exceptional performance on the crease during the opening Test match contributed massively for the
side.
During the team’s first innings, Masakadza’s solid ton aided the batting side into retaining stumps, paving an easy path for the eventual order to accumulate a competitive chase for the Bangladeshi visitors.
As for the upcoming bout, skipper Taylor, will rest his confidence in Masakadza, to come out with his usual aggressive batting stance.
As a batsman, Masakadza holds a modest ODI profile, premiering in July 2001. The player has represented his nation in 102 matches, earning a handful figure of 2653 including an superb not out performance of 178 runs.

21-year-old, Brian Vitori, is set to make his first ODI appearance on Friday’s match. The budding star found himself a spot on the squad following an impressive bowling performance during the recent Test match against the tourists.
The fixture came as Vitori’s Test debut, where the left armed fast bowler came out with some impressive deliveries earning an adequate figure of 5 for 122, including his first innings’ superb performance worth 4 for 66.
Although a new member on the squad, Bangladesh side will have to remain vary of what Vitori as a star in a making has to offer.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/T-Taibu-c2630
The little Tatenda Taibu comes in as another potent member on the Zimbabwean squad able to contribute with his bat as well as with his gloves behind the stumps.
Primarily a wicket-keeper, however, as a middle order batsman Taibu can prove to be a true troublemaker for the opponent.
With an ODI experience worth a decade, Taibu has played in 136 matches earning a total of mark of 3001 runs at a modest strike rate of 66.80.
