Bangladesh have leveled the BAN vs ZIM T20I Series 2022 after winning the second match by 7 wickets on Sunday. The third match will be held on Tuesday at the Harare Sports Club, and the contest will start at 5 p.m. (Bangladesh Standard Time). There is bad news for Bangladesh's campaign as wicket-keeper batter Nurul Hasan Sohan will not be available for the remainder of the Zimbabwe series after sustaining an injury to his left index finger while keeping the second match. Mahmudullah Riyad has been included in the T20 squad for the final match. However, Riyad will not be captaining the side, confirmed by BCB. All-rounder Mosaddek Hossain will be leading the Bangladesh team in the series-finale contest. Let’s take a look at the players who could make the playing XI for Bangladesh's team in the 3rd match of Bangladesh-Zimbabwe twenty20 series 2022. Bangladesh’s probable playing XI for the 3rd T20I of BAN vs ZIM Series 2022 Team Tigers is likely to make a couple of changes to the playing XI for the third match against Zimbabwe. One change is set to happen following Nurul Hasan Sohan's exclusion from the tour due to a finger injury. The team management may also include one additional spinner in the team given the fact that Zimbabwe struggled against the spinners in the second match. Here is the Bangladesh playing XI that could feature in the third T20I against Zimbabwe. Litton Das Litton has been in good touch with the bat, scoring the second-most 88 runs in the series so far with a 169.23 strike rate. He will play the anchor role for the Tigers in the final T20I. Read Mosaddek to lead Bangladesh in 3rd T20I Parvez Hossain Emon Parvez Emon has the record for the fastest century in the T20 format among the Bangladeshi players. The left-hander has a bright future ahead of him. He can finally make his international debut for the national side in this match, especially after Munim Shahriar’s continuous failure with the bat. Anamul Haque Anamul Haque had a start in both the first and second T20I but couldn’t prolong the innings. Anamul’s strike rate was also disappointing. The right-hand top order is likely to be given another chance to showcase that he has the ability to perform on the international scene. Najmul Hossain Shanto Najmul Hossain played two decent knocks, including an important unbeaten 19*-run in the second contest. Najmul will play in the middle order in the third match. Read BAN vs ZIM ODI Series 2022: What to expect from Bangladesh and squad preview Afif Hossain Afif is a fantastic talent and is currently one of the important middle-order batters in Tigers’ limited-overs side. He will have to play an important role in the third match just like he did in the second match. Mahmudullah Riyad Riyad will likely feature in the series-finale contest. His experience and ability to play big shots in the death overs will certainly help Bangladesh in the match. Mosaddek Hossain (captain) Captain Mosaddek picked up five wickets in the second match and his performance was the key factor for Bangladesh to level the series. The BCB has given Nurul the duty of leading the team in the third T20I as a reward for his great performance. Read Nurul Hasan ruled out of Zimbabwe tour Mahedi Hasan Mahedi Hasan is an effective all-rounder. He can make important breakthroughs with the ball and can accelerate the run rate with the bat when needed. Nasum Ahmed Nasum Ahmed, a left-arm orthodox spinner, has been an integral part of Bangladesh’s T20 setup since last year. He can make the difference in the do-or-die contest on Tuesday as Zimbabwean batters are not well-equipped to face slower bowlers. Mustafizur Rahman Mustafizur Rahman is an automatic choice for Bangladesh’s T20 setup. He has picked up three wickets so far in the series but has been pretty expensive. He needs to be disciplined in line and length in order to be economical in the contest. Read Bangladesh level series with comfortable win Hasan Mahmud Right-handed medium pacer Hasan Mahmud bowled better than the other two pacers. He was also more economical than both Mustafizur and Shoriful. The team management may include Hasan in the playing XI if two pacers are to play in the match. Bottom Line Mahmudullah Riyad’s inclusion in the squad has given confidence to the Bangladeshi players. Though Mahmudullah will not lead the team, he can certainly help Mosaddek with taking decisions in the key moments of the game. Two changes are predicted in Bangladesh’s playing XI for the third match in the BAN vs ZIM T20I Series 2022. In addition, picking three spinners for the contest could be an ideal decision for the visiting side to put pressure on the home side's batting line-up, who look shaky facing slower bowlers. Bangladesh have found some momentum after winning the second match, so they should feel confident to clinch the series.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board made a crucial decision by resting veteran players for the ZIM vs BAN 2022 T20I series, which will enable the other cricketers to stand up and demonstrate leadership abilities on the international stage. Oppositely, Zimbabwe's recent dominance in the Twenty20 World Cup Global Qualifier has instilled some faith in their abilities. Zimbabwe are well aware that they have a good chance of avenging their most recent series defeat against Bangladesh. Let's look at the schedule for the bilateral T20I series and the preview of the first match. Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe: Head-to-Head T20I Records Bangladesh first met Zimbabwe in a T20 format match back in November 2006, which they won by 43 runs. Since then, two teams have played against each other in 16 Twenty20 international matches. Bangladesh have led the head-to-head contest with 16 wins, while Zimbabwe have won 5 matches. Bangladesh have never lost a bilateral series against Zimbabwe, winning three series and drawing three.

There is no doubt that all eyes will be on Nurul Hasan’s captaincy. On the other hand, Zimbabwe recently ensured their qualification for the T20 World Cup 2022 main event by winning the Global Qualifier B competition. They will be up to putting up a real fight against Bangladesh. Bangladesh In the ZIM vs BAN 2022 T20I series, Bangladesh expect Nurul Hasan to demonstrate his potential as captain. His leadership ability will be closely monitored by the BCB in the series as the cricket board is in search of a new leader for the future. Besides, finding the right opening combination is another key area where they need a solution. There are five top order batters in the squad, and the team management has to come up with a decision on which two they want to back up. Other than that, the remaining spots are more or less confirmed for the opening match. Read BAN vs ZIM T20I Series 2022: 3 challenges for Nurul Hasan as captain Probable Playing XI (first T20I) Top Order: Munim Shariar, Anamul Haque, Litton Das; Middle-Order: Afif Hossain, Nurul Hasan, Mosaddek Hossain, Mahedi Hasan; Lower-Order: Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Nasum Ahmed.  Zimbabwe The Zimbabwe Cricket Board is yet to announce their squad for the T20I series against Bangladesh. But the expectation is that the players who have performed well in the recent ICC Global Qualifier B get a chance in the series. With less than three months left before the T20 World Cup 2022, the selectors may not want to make unnecessary experiments for this bilateral series. Apart from winning the series, finding the right combination for the forthcoming World Cup would be Zimbabwe’s main goal from this bilateral contest. Read Is the future of ODI cricket in jeopardy?

The ability is certainly there; they just have to execute the game plan on the field. Oppositely, the confidence level is high at the moment for the Zimbabwean Twenty20 side. The home side can feel that they have a genuine chance to overcome the visitors in the 3-match T20I series, especially in the absence of some of the key Bangladeshi players.

Nurul Hasan Sohan will be in charge of the Bangladeshi team in the forthcoming BAN vs ZIM T20I Series 2022. This is a real challenge for the wicket-keeper batter as he has never captained Bangladesh in any format of the game. It is believed that BCB has named Nurul as a makeshift captain for the series since all of the senior players took a break for the tour. There will be some challenges for the newly appointed skipper which he needs to overcome through his decision-making and performance. The three challenges Nurul Hasan could face in the series are discussed in this article. The challenges Nurul Hasan could face in the Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe T20I series  There will be some challenges for Nurul Hasan Sohan while leading the Bangladesh Twenty20 side. He needs to overcome the obstacles through individual performance and leadership capabilities. Let’s take a look at three challenges that Nurul needs to focus more on in the BAN vs ZIM T20I Series 2022. On-field decision making Rested captain Mahmudullah Riyad has been criticized for his on-field decision-making in the recent series. His approach to dealing with the situations has been sometimes ineffective. That is why the results haven’t come in Bangladesh’s way since the T20 World Cup 2022. Stand-in captain Nurul Hasan has to be thoughtful and needs a clear vision of what he wants to achieve when making decisions on the field. Read West Indies vs India Series 2022: Head-to-Head Stats and Full Fixtures Nurul promises fearless cricket and a team-first culture in his latest press conference. Since Zimbabwe is the opponent, a difficult series is not anticipated. The Bangladesh team needs to be aggressive towards Zimbabwe and try to put them under strain. The upcoming series will be a great opportunity for Nurul to showcase his leadership capabilities. He can justify his selection as captain by taking the right decisions on the field.  Picking the ideal lineup for playing XI The selectors picked five top-order batters, three batting all-rounders, one spinning all-rounder, one left-arm spinner and four pacers apart from Nurul Hasan. The Bangladesh team management and captain will face a selection dilemma when picking the right playing XI. Which two players will open the innings? How many all-rounders are to be included in the team? How many spinners and fast bowlers should be incorporated into the team? Will the comeback players get a chance to play in the series? These are a few topics Nurul and team management have to ponder before making the final playing XI. Nurul must convey his intentions and philosophy to the management in order to field his preferred players on the pitch. However, making a sensible and right combination is a must to have a winnable team. Read ICC T20 World Cup 2022: How Hard is Bangladesh’s Group 2? Individual Performance The Captain needs to lead from the front by encouraging individual performances. Nurul has been constantly picked by the selectors for his wicket-keeping ability and impressive domestic record in the Twenty20 format. However, his batting performance hasn’t been impressive since making his return to the Bangladesh T20I side last year. He has scored only 193 runs in 21 innings with a just over 100 strike rate since July 2021.

His batting position hence demanded power-hitting skills. Does Nurul possess the ability to hit big shots? He has improved his power hitting in domestic Twenty20 competitions in recent seasons, but he hasn't been able to carry it over to the international level. Nurul Hasan should strive to increase his strike rate and power hitting in the death overs.  Read BAN vs ZIM 2022: 5 Bangladeshi players who can capitalize on Zimbabwe series Bottom Line There is no doubt that Nurul Hasan has an impressive resume in domestic T20 tournaments as captain. He has a very good winning ratio as captain in the DPL Twenty20 tournament. Nurul also led Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club to win the 2019 Dhaka Premier Division T20 Cricket League. However, the wicket-keeper batter's experience as skipper of the national team will be entirely fresh. There will be added pressure on him as the expectations from the fans will be very high. Therefore, he needs to be mentally prepared to face harsh criticism. Nurul Hasan can guide the Bangladesh team to clinch the BAN vs ZIM T20I Series 2022 if he can overcome all the major challenges and stay focused on his task.

Bangladesh's fringe players will get a chance to showcase their abilities on the international stage following the BCB’s decision to not include their senior players in the BAN vs ZIM 2022 T20I series. The players will have a great opportunity to impress the selectors by putting on strong performances during the series against Zimbabwe, who will be a much easier opponent. The five Bangladeshi players for whom the upcoming Zimbabwe Twenty20 International series is important are discussed in this article. 5 Bangladesh cricketers for whom the BAN vs ZIM 2022 T20I Series is important Wicket-keeper batter Nurul Hasan Sohan will lead Bangladesh in place of regular captain Mahmudullah Riyad, who has rested for the series. The BCB selectors also didn’t include Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim in the squad in order to provide the in-form players who have performed well in the domestic competitions a chance to prove their capability on the international stage. This will be a great opportunity for the called-up players to show their cricketing ability against an international team. There are five cricketers who need to perform exceedingly to find a permanent spot in Bangladesh’s T20I setup. Read Fixture revealed for matches between Zimbabwe and Bangladesh Nurul Hasan T20I Match: 33 | Runs: 271 | HS: 30* | Ave: 12.90 | SR: 111.98 Stand-in captain Nurul Hasan Sohan has been a regular member of Bangladesh’s Twenty20 International setup since last year. Nurul’s recent performances in the domestic white-ball competitions have been pretty impressive. However, he has failed to live up to the expectations for the national side, scoring 193 runs in 21 innings with a strike rate of 107.82. Nurul has made 17 dismissals in 24 matches as a keeper since last year. Nurul’s position in the Bangladesh T20 squad has not yet been guaranteed. He has to become a better batter in the T20 format if he wants to be a regular member of the team. Besides, Nurul has been named captain of the side for the Zimbabwe series, and this is an added responsibility for him. The right-handed middle order batter has a decent record as a captain on the domestic circuit. If Nurul can flourish both as a captain and as a batter, he can cement his place as a crucial member of the Bangladesh T20 squad. Read ENG vs SA 2022: Revived South Africa hope to win ODI series in Manchester Anamul Haque T20I Match: 16 | Runs: 384 | HS: 58 | Ave: 27.42 | SR: 117.79 Anamul Haque scored three ODI hundreds within his first 20 international matches and was once regarded as one of the shining stars of Bangladesh cricket. However, Anamul lost his place after the World Cup 2015 and had to wait three years to make a return to the Bangladesh national team setup. Anamul couldn’t fulfil his expectations every time he got an opportunity and was finally dropped after an ODI match against Sri Lanka in 2019. The right-hand top-order batter recently had a brilliant outing in the DPL 2022 and was called-up for the West Indies series for the white-ball formats. Anamul has been included in the squad for the forthcoming T20I series against Zimbabwe. The series will be an important opportunity for Anamul to showcase his talent once again on the international scene. If Anamul is given the proper chance and does well with the bat, the selectors could decide to include him in the upcoming two major competitions. Read WI vs IND ODI Series 2022: India eye whitewash, Windies aim strong show Munim Shahriar T20I Match: 3 | Runs: 23 | HS: 17 | Ave: 7.66 | SR: 74.19 Munim Shahriar wowed everyone with his aggressive batting style in the Bangladesh Premier League 2022. Munim made 178 runs in 6 innings with a strike rate of 152.13 in the BPL 2022 and earned a maiden call-up for the Bangladesh national side for the Afghanistan series. Shahriar has been with the Bangladesh Twenty20 team since then and hasn’t made any big impact with the bat. His 23 T20I runs came in 3 innings with a very disappointing 74.19 strike rate. Munis is a talented top-order batter, but he needs to show his ability on the international stage, otherwise someone else will take his spot. Therefore, the BAN vs ZIM 2022 Twenty20 International series is very crucial for the right-handed batter. Read Asia Cup 2022 moved from Sri Lanka to UAE: Ganguly Hasan Mahmud Hasan Mahmud is a talented young fast bowler who has the ability to generate a decent amount of pace with the ball. Mahmud made a good impression on the selectors with his pace in the BPL season 7 and was immediately called up for the Zimbabwe series in 2020 and made his international debut. Hasan Mahmud made his ODI debut against West Indies in January 2021 but lost his place after being hit by multiple injuries. The talented right-hand pacer has been included in the T20I series against Zimbabwe along with the other three regular starters – Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin Ahmed, and Shoriful Islam. Therefore, finding a place in the Bangladesh playing XI will be difficult for him. If Hasan gets a chance, he should capitalize on it to re-establish his place in the Bangladesh team. Read BAN vs ZIM T20I Series 2022: Nurul Hasan to lead young Bangladesh side Parvez Hossain Emon The U19 World Cup winning player, Parvez Hossain Emon, got the limelight after scoring a 42-ball century against Minister Rajshahi for Fortune Barishal in the 2020 Bangabandhu T20 Cup. He was named in Bangladesh’s T20 squad for the Pakistan series in 2021. However, the left-handed, aggressive-minded batter didn’t get a chance to make his senior debut for Bangladesh. Parvez was named in Bangladesh’s 15-man T20I squad for the upcoming Zimbabwe series. With five top-order batters in the squad, Emon’s chances of finding a place in the team will be difficult. However, Parvez should try to cash in on the opportunity if he finds a place in the playing XI. Read Mashrafe, Mushfiq congratulate new T20 captain Sohan Aftermath The Bangladesh national team will compete in an international series without one of its four senior players—Mamudullah Riyad, Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan, and Tamim Iqbal—for the first time in many years. This is an obvious sign that veteran national team players are reaching the twilight of their cricketing careers. It's now up to the young, gifted players to take the stage and showcase their talents on the big stage. The players who will get a chance to participate in the BAN vs ZIM 2022 Twenty20 International series should try to take advantage of the opportunity and impress the BCB selectors. The selectors would consider including them in the Bangladesh Twenty20 teams for the next Asia Cup 2022 as well as the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 if they show strong performances in the series. Read Women’s cricket team’s conditioning camp from Sunday

Mahmudullah Riyad has experienced leadership difficulties since the T20 World Cup 2021. The Bangladesh Twenty20 team under his leadership has been losing matches after matches since the mega event last year. The experienced all-rounder has also faced criticism for his limitations in making choices on the field. The BCB has decided to rest some of its senior players for the forthcoming BAN vs ZIM T20I Series 2022, including regular skipper Mahmudullah Riyad. In place of him, Nurul Hasan Sohan has been handed over the T20 captaincy role for the series. Nurul will lead a young Bangladesh side, and a number of players have made a comeback in the Twenty20 squad. Has Nurul Hasan captained in domestic Twenty20 competitions?     Wicket-keeper batter Nurul Hasan Sohan never captained Bangladesh's national side on the international stage. Nurul will become the eighth captain of the Bangladesh T20I side when he leads the team in the BAN vs ZIM T20I Series 2022. Nurul Hasan does, however, have experience of leading teams in domestic competitions and he has a very good resume as a captain. He captained Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club in both List A and Twenty20 cricket competitions in the 2018 and 2019 seasons. Under his leadership, Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club became the unbeaten champion in the inaugural season of the Dhaka Premier Division Twenty20 Cricket League in 2019.

Nurul Hasan Sohan will lead the young Bangladeshi side where Parvez Hossain Emon, Hasan Mahmud, Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mehidy Hasan Miraz have been recalled for the T20 series. Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mehidy Hasan Miraz are regular members of Bangladesh's ODI and Test setup. However, the selectors usually don’t consider them for the Twenty20 format, but they have been picked for the Zimbabwe series. Hasan Mahmud made his T20I debut against Zimbabwe back in March 2020, but after that he hasn’t played a match for the national side. The right-hand pacer can generate a lot of pace with the ball, and it will be another golden opportunity for him to show his talent on the international stage.
