Bangladesh are set to face Zimbabwe in the one-off Test of the multi-format series on Sunday, June 28. The match will be held at the Harare Sports Club at 1:30 PM IST.

For Zimbabwe, the match marks a return to Test cricket after an eight-month break and comes with renewed confidence following their dominant victory over Afghanistan in Harare last year. The game will also mark Richard Ngarava’s first Test as Zimbabwe captain.

Graeme Cremer, who last played Test cricket in 2017, has been included, while senior all-rounder Sikandar Raza was released for county cricket commitments.

On the other hand, Bangladesh will arrive with their own challenges after losing wicketkeeper Litton Das due to a calf injury. His absence means Mahidul Islam is expected to take the gloves. The visitors will rely heavily on senior players to guide a reshuffled batting lineup.

Ahead of the one-off Test between Zimbabwe and Bangladesh, let’s look at the ZIM Vs BAN head to head records.
