Bottom Line The current Zimbabwe team is not a competitive one that can pose some threat to the visiting Bangladesh team. As a result, the team Tigers will begin as favorites to win both the ODI and T20 formats in the Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh Series 2022. Tamim Iqbal can set a new record of winning the most consecutive ODI series as a captain if his team wins the fifty-overs format series. On the other hand, the Mahmudullah-led T20I team will get another chance to prepare themselves ahead of the T20 World Cup 2022. Bangladesh players, who have lacked confidence and are out of form on the international stage, should take the tour seriously.

Bangladesh’s One Day Internationals records in the past five years are impressive. Bangladesh won their last ODI series against Sri Lanka, which was their first limited-overs series victory against the Lankans. On the other side, Zimbabwe have had a difficult time on the international stage in recent years. Zimbabwe must play with more prudence and dedication if they truly want to win the ODI series. Bangladesh are the overwhelming favorite to win the contest based on their current form.
