Fantasy Cricket Tips: After making a return to the cricket field post the suspension, Zimbabwe Cricket Team will look to make an impact against Bangladesh. The Bangla Tigers have failed to match their performances of the ODI and T20I formats in the longest format of the game. They lost a Test match to Afghanistan at home and then they bowed down to India and Pakistan in the ICC World Test Championship.
The main reason behind their lackluster performances has been the absence of their premier all-rounder, Shakib Al Hasan who is currently banned by ICC. Mushfiqur Rahim, the most experienced player of the team, skipped the Pakistan tour owing to safety hence, there has been zero balance in the Bangladeshi team.
Fantasy Cricket Tips: Weather Conditions
The summer season is underway in Bangladesh as the fans will see the sun out during the entire course of this Test match. The temperature will stay above the 30 degrees Celsius mark consistently.
