LIVE - Zimbabwe v Bangladesh: 3rd ODI – Toss Report
A ‘make or a break’ situation comes ahead of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747 as the team gears up to face the Zimbabwean hosts in the 3rd One Day International (ODI) fixture, set to be played today, Tuesday, August 16, 2011, at the Harare Sports Club.
With clear weather conditions posing to be favourable for the teams, for the first time on the series, the match toss was won by the Bangladesh Captain Shakib Al Hasan, who took on a presumably wise decision to bowl first, looking at the positive pitch conditions.
The game comes as a much potent competition for the Bangladeshi tourists, who are hoping to come out with their best on the field in an attempt to mark an opening win to their name. A defeat would mean a beaten return for Bangladesh which would also pose
great disappointment for the team’s newly appointed coach, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stuart-Grant-Law-c91460.
The team has so far suffered a consistent streak of losses since their opening warm up tour game against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zimbabwe-c3045 XI, followed by the one-off Test fixture.
As for the proceeding ODI series, skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shakib-Al-Hasan-c2492 will hope to see his side deliver a decent performance in a desperate attempt to secure some ground on the event.
As for the hosts, the confident Zimbabwean skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BRM-Taylor-c1200, will bank on his standard star studded squad, which led the proud side into a superb comeback, especially in the Test format.
As for the rosters, Taylor, alongside http://www.senore.com/Cricket/T-Taibu-c2630, who will be aiming to post some big numbers
for the side, hoping to offer a competitive chase to the tourists.
On the other hand, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Brian-Vitori-c1198, who recently marked a collective 10-wicket toll from the previous two ODI games.
While Bangladesh’s skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hasan-c61990 will hope for his batting line-up to hold some early stumps, paving a safe game for the remaining order to cover up the chase.
As for the tourists’ bowling roster, the side will set to feature its standard attacking pair http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rubel-Hossain-c2378 followed by skipper Hasan.
