Zimbabwe need to address in-consistent batting

After a disappointing end to 2017, Bangladesh has come into their own with back to back bonus point wins against Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. It seems all the concerns and questions have fallen into place at home, as they performed a notch higher than other two teams in the Tri-Series so far.

Zimbabwe on another hand had mixed results in opening 3 games so far, as they won against Sri Lanka in a close contest before losing against Bangladesh in the opening game. While the last game had seen, Zimbabwe to be at the other end against Sri Lanka, as they lost with lack of runs on the board.

It's an area Zimbabwe has to do work, to be on the winning side in matches to come, and on Tuesday it's no different. If Taylor can bring on his standards back, it won't be too far for them, as the bowling in previous two matches was penetrative enough.

Bangladesh, now well on true to the final, irrespective of the results in matches come, so it's about being continuing the form they are in. Zimbabwe had to come victories to be in the final in the remaining two matches, while there is another option too, to win in one match and the net run rate gonna decide the fate for them.

Pitch and Conditions

           The pitch at Mirpur has been two-paced so far, and with all games being played at the same Venue, the pitch gonna be slowed down a bit and for batsman it's about getting to the pace of the wicket.
