Zim bowl first in ODI decider

Bulawayo - Captain Brendan Taylor won a third straight toss as Zimbabwe once again gained the right to bowl first and take advantage of the early start in the third and decisive one-day international against Bangladesh on Wednesday.

Bangladesh skipper Mushfiqur Rahim called incorrectly in all three matches, ensuring that his batsmen were forced to deal with the seam-friendly conditions that came with a 09:00 start.

Both sides made one change, with left-arm seamer Brian Vitori preferred to Shingirai Masakadza for Zimbabwe, and Mominul Haque replaced by Jahurul Islam at the top of the Bangladeshi batting order.

Bangladesh won the first one-day international by 121 runs, before Zimbabwe hit back with a six-wicket victory on Sunday.

Teams:

Zimbabwe: Brendan Taylor (captain), Vusi Sibanda, Hamilton Masakadza, Sikandar Raza, Sean Williams, Malcolm Waller, Elton Chigumbura, Prosper Utseya, Kyle Jarvis, Brian Vitori, Tendai Chatara.

Bangladesh: Mushfiqur Rahim (captain), Tamim Iqbal, Mohammad Ashraful, Jahurul Islam, Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah, Nasir Hossain, Ziaur Rahman, Abdur Razzak, Robiul Islam, Shafiul Islam.

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
