Zimbabwe choose to bowl first

DHAKA: Zimbabwe have won the toss and decide to bowl first against Bangladesh in 3rd ODI in Dhaka while Bangladesh has made a change with Shafiul Islam for Al-Amin Hossain. 

With an expectation to close out the five-match series with a third consecutive win; Tigers will face Zimbabwean bowlers shortly in the Bashundhara Cement sponsored match at Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur.

Besides, Bangladesh have dropped Al-Amin Hossain to have a look at Shafiul Islam. He has been released to play in the Dhaka Premier League for Abahani. 

Bangladesh: 1 Tamim Iqbal, 2 Anamul Haque, 3 Mominul Haque, 4 Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), 5 Shakib Al Hasan, 6 Mahmudullah, 7 Sabbir Rahman, 8 Mashrafe Mortaza (capt), 9 Arafat Sunny, 10 Shafiul Islam, 11, Rubel Hossain.

Zimbabwe persisted with the same line-up for the first two ODIs, but there could be places up for grabs in the crunch game. They may surprise Bangladesh with Timycen Maruma or Peter Moor.

Zimbabwe: 1 Sikandar Raza, 2 Hamilton Masakadza, 3 Vusi Sibanda, 4 Brendan Taylor, 5 Regis Chakabva (wk), 6 Elton Chigumbura (capt), 7 John Nyumbu, 8 Tinashe Panyangara, 9 Tendai Chatara, 10 Solomon Mire, 11 Tafadzwa Kamungozi.
