Answer 1

This is definitely a tough question. Zimbabwe have been professional cricket team with Test status for quite a while.  Due to the political crisis, they have been declining lately. Great players like Andy Flower, Grant Flower, Heath Streak, Henry Olonga and Neil Johnson cannot be forgotten. Bangladesh on the other hand have been a young and upcoming team. They have created some amazing upsets against countries like Australia and India but they lack consistency. Also, being a professional team with Test status for the past 9 years, they have not progressed as highly as expected. Overall, I feel Bangladesh is a better team over the recent years.

Answer 2

Bangladesh!!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

If they played (and were allowed to play) right now

Bangladesh would be clear favourites.

Zimbabwe beat Bangladesh all the time in the 90's and early 00's Zimbabwe back then were a strong test & ODI team, they had a couple of world class players in the side. Bangladesh back then, had no world class players, a poor youth set-up and a team who looked like they didnt know how to hold a cricket bat.

Ironically now the Bangladesh team will have more experience over there Zimbabwe counterparts. Bangladesh currently has a far better side than Zimbabwe!! The Zimbabwe team is in chaos and has a lot more to worry about than cricket

Bangladesh will one day be a world class side!

Answer 4

I think they are evenly matched.

Answer 5

Bangladesh, i dont see any good future for zimbabwe cricket for the next 5-7 years because of violence. and icc has took them out of the top team. now Zimbabwe are just a associate team.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Presently Bangladesh is better

Answer 8

Bangladesh is much much better then Zimbabwe because Bangladesh have beaten Australia India and many more experienced teams Zimbabwe has never beaten these teams

Answer 9

The odds are 6 to 5 for Zimbabwe, but the betting window closes at  1700 GMT.

Answer 10

bangla but after 5 year it will zim

Answer 11

I think by seeing your source Zimbabwe is better than Bangladesh because only of the captaincy of Mr.Andy Flower in late 90's and early 2000's and in the latest series in 2006 zim won by 3-2.
