[Utseyalitharan]

Just want to know how well you guys think we will do if we were to play Bangladesh next month, put your predictions and justification.

Say we were to play

A} two – 20/20 matches

B} three Test Matches

C} Five ODIs

What sey u?

A) Zimbabwe would win both Twenty20 matches.
B) 1 win, 1 draw, 1 loss
C) 3 wins, 2 losses


If we played as well as we did against Australia, we would win every match. The Tests would be the real test I think. I think we would win one quite convincingly inside 4 days, come close to winning one but draw, and then lose our way completely in the one we lose because of the Zimbabwe Collapse™

well depends on the the venues.zim playing home can win ODIs series.you can say 3 -2 close series win for zim. test can be realy close too and t 20 also be close.on ZIM playing in BANG that can be different series BANG i think would have upper hand.

I think that Zimbabwe would probably shade it at home. If you look at the series against West Indies and Pakistan, Zimbabwe have had few innings where everything has gone completely wrong. They seem to always get 200+ at the moment, which is encouraging. Bangladesh on the other hand still have a tendancy to fall in a complete heap, just look at their series in New Zealand. NZ are not a great team at the moment, and they completely humiliated Bangladesh.

However, if the series was played in Bangladesh, I think that their spinners would be too strong for Zimbabwe. Zim seem to have serious issues against spin. Shoaib Malik, who is far from a front line spinner these daysw has caused a lot of problems for example. I think that the likes of Abdur Razaq, Enamul Haque, Saqibul Hassan and Mohammed Rafique would cause Zim a lot of problems in spin friendly conditions.

We would win most games at home i think, however their spinners could give us a hard time.
