ZIM vs BAN Dream11 Team - 1st ODI 2021 | 16 Jul

The 2021 Bangladesh tour of Zimbabwe began with a tour game and the Only Test which was won by Bangladesh. It was an easy 220-run victory and an emotional moment for the squad as Mahmudullah announced his retirement from the Test format. Now, it’s going to be a more even contest as we move into the limited overs segment of the tournament, with 3 ODIs and 3 T20s to be played between 16-27 July 2021.

Zimbabwe usually doesn’t play a lot of Test cricket which means it’s difficult to keep consistency right through multiple sessions and 5 days of a game. However, they’ve shown decent success in the limited overs formats and with the home advantage in their hands, it could be a more even contest for the next 6 games.

Numbers

Head to head in last 5 games, Bangladesh leads 5-0.

Zimbabwe

One of the most consistent performers in Zimbabwe cricket over the years is Sean Williams who is leading the side and he’ll be hungry to perform after having being declared unfit to feature in the only Test. The all-rounder is a good fantasy captain or vice-captain option. With the ball, the first player in my ZIM vs BAN 1st ODI fantasy team is Blessing Muzarabani who has been doing great and has experience in leagues around the world too.

While Brenda Taylor is in the side and should be picked, Regis Chakabva is someone who puts a big price on his wicket and if he’s picked for the 1st ODI, he should make your ZIM vs BAN Dream11 team because he’s likely to contribute in the lower middle order. If you’re looking at another bowling option, there’s Luke Jongwe who has had a brilliant domestic season and when needed, he’s contributed with the bat too.

Bangladesh

Leading the side is Tamim Iqbal who scored 3 fifties in 4 innings in 2 Tests against Sri Lanka and after a bit of a lull, he got 66* in the practice game here as well, before missing out on playing the only Test against Zimbabwe. Having got only 10 runs in his last 3 innings, Mehidy Hasan Miraz is not having a great time with the bat but he’s sometimes sent up the order in ODIs and got 9 wickets in the Test match as well.

It’s been a little bit of a coming of age for 26-year old Taskin Ahmed who got a 4-fer in the Test match and has been having a good run in the domestic circuit too, so he makes our PlayerzPot (Code “READ1234“) ZIM vs BAN fantasy team for the 1st ODI. Keep an eye out on Afif Hossain who is usually a part of the side in the T20 format but we’d like to pick the 21-year old all-rounder if he’s in the playing eleven today.
