Led by Sikandar Raza, Zimbabwe would be keen to sustain their dream run after swatting aside Bangladesh in the ODIs. The Chevrons have won five of their last eight T20Is at home, showcasing their ability to outclass their opponents in familiar conditions. 

Apart from the in-form Ben Curran and captain Sikandar Raza, Brian Bennett is expected to play a significant role for Zimbabwe. Meanwhile, their pace attack will be led by the intimidating duo of Brad Evans and Blessing Muzarabani, which accounted for nine dismissals in the ODIs. 

Talking about Bangladesh, the Tigers will heavily rely on Tanzid Hasan to get quick-fire starts. Tanzid was their best batter in the ODI series, amassing 159 runs at a strike rate of 89.83. 

Parvez Hossain Emon, Towhid Hridoy and Mosaddek Hossain will form the backbone of Bangladesh's batting lineup, with Nahid Rana set to lead the bowling attack with Taskin Ahmed, Rishad Hossain and Shoriful Islam in the absence of Mustafizur Rahman.
