Toss Zimbabwe chose to bowl v Bangladesh
It was third time lucky for Zimbabwe captain Brendan Taylor, who won the
toss and predictably decided to field first in the third and final ODI
in Bulawayo. Once again, he has asked of his bowlers to take full
advantage of the early morning movement, which have restricted the
Bangladesh opening batsmen in the past.
They have made one change, by bringing in Brian Vitori in place of
Shingirai Masakadza, who had just one poor performance in the last game.
Vitori is Bangladesh's nemesis from the 2011 tour, having taken eleven
out of his 13 ODI wickets against Bangladesh. His last ODI, however, was
in February last year, and he hasn't featured in West Indies or against
Bangladesh in the Test series.
Masakadza took four wickets in the first match but went for over six
runs an over in the second game, including a poor final spell when Abdur
Razzak clattered him for a few big hits.
Jahurul Islam has replaced Mominul Haque in the Bangladesh line-up.
Jahurul will be slotted into the No.3 position in which Mominul has
played in the last two matches without too much success.
The home side broke a six-match losing streak by winning the last match, thanks mainly to a string of batting partnerships.
