Preview

Zimbabwe and Bangladesh will face each other in the second ODI of the Bangladesh tour of Zimbabwe 2026 at the Harare Sports Club on July 9. The opening ODI of the series turned into an absolute low-scoring thriller, in which Zimbabwe defended a low total of 141 and bowled out the visitors for just 116 runs. With the hosts leading the 3-match series 1-0, they will aim to clinch the series with this match.

In the opening match, Zimbabwe batted first and the top order struggled badly against the early pace; the tail showed plenty of fight under pressure. Newman Nyamhuri played an unbeaten knock of 33 from 51 balls, while captain Richard Ngarava chipped in with a valuable 27 to set a target of 141 runs.

In response, the Bangladesh team failed to chase down the target and were bowled out for just 116 runs in 33 overs. Nurul Hasan was the top scorer for Bangladesh with 31 runs off 44 balls but was unable to reach the target. In the bowling department, Richard Ngarava and Brad Evans each took three wickets
