Bangladesh and Zimbabwe are all set to lock horns in the one-off Test match which will be held in Zimbabwe from July 7. It will be a thing to see if hosts are able to stamp their authority in the game especially in light of walking up with a depleted side. Bangladesh last played a Test match against Sri Lanka and lost the series 0-1.

On the other hand, Zimbabwe too suffered a whitewash in the home Test series against Pakistan in May. However, if the stats between the two nations are taken into consideration, both teams have won seven games each against each other in the total 17 Tests played so far. The Test match will be played at Harare Sports Club in Zimbabwe and it will be followed by a three-match ODI series commencing on July 16.

Playing Combinations for ZIM vs BAN

Zimbabwe

As per the latest reports, it came out that Sean Williams and Craig Ervine would miss the one-off Test against Bangladesh as they have been put under quarantine. Kevin Kasuza is also set to miss out on the game due to an injury.

Williams missing on the game has given a clear indication about former skipper Brendan Taylor leading the side during the one-off Test match. Taylor will also be expected to play innings for his team owing to his bagful of experience and brilliance in the game so far.

Predicted XI

Milton Shumba, Timycen Maruma, Brendan Taylor (C), Dion Myers, Luke Jongwe, Roy Kaia, Tendai Chisoro, Regis Chakabva (wk), Donald Tiripano, Blessing Muzarabani, Richard Ngarava

Bench

Victor Nyauchi, Tendai Chatara, Joylord Gumbie, Tanaka Chivanga, Wellington Masakadza, Sean Williams, Craig Ervine, Kevin Kasuza, Takudzwanashe Kaitano

Bangladesh

The Bangladesh side may miss out on the services of star batter Tamim Iqbal as the southpaw suffered an injury while playing in the domestic T20 game last month. However, Mushfiqur Rahim is expected to make his comeback after recovering from a finger injury that he suffered while playing DPL.

With Iqbal in doubt, Rahim will become one of the key players for the visitors alongside star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan. Hasan would be eager to make his Test return a fine talk of the cricketing world.

Predicted XI

Tamim Iqbal/Shadman Islam, Saif Hassan, Mominul Haque Showrabh (C), Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, Liton Das (WK), Mahmudullah Riyad, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam

Bench

Shadman Islam/Tamim Iqbal, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Yasir Ali Chowdhury, Nurul Hasan Sohan, Nayeem Hasan, Abu Jayed Rahi, Ebadot Hossain
