BAN vs ZIM 1st Test Dream11 Team Prediction and Probable XI: Preview

Hello and Welcome to our preview for Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe match. We are covering BAN VS ZIM 1st Test Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the Test match. The match is to be played at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, Sylhet.

Both the teams are returning to the Test setup after quite a while. Both faced mammoth losses in their last ventures and will be hoping to make a glorious return. This will be a mini two-match Test series taking place in Bangladesh.

Bangladesh was soundly defeated in the Caribbean as Windies registered comprehensive wins. Despite having a full strength team, the Asian team was no match and suffered heavy loss. However, in the home conditions, Bangladesh will be a different challenge altogether. Even without Shakib and Tamim, Bangladesh will be a tough team at home.

Zimbabwe has faced nothing but losses in recent times. Their trip to South Africa was very difficult and against a stronger opposition, they wilted. In their last match against South Africa, Zimbabwe suffered a loss by an innings and 120 runs. Here in the limited-overs leg of Bangladesh also they have faced nothing by defeat.
