Zimbabwe won the toss and opted to bat first in Chattogram in the second Test against Bangladesh on Monday.
Zimbabwe came to this match aiming to win the series, with a win in the first match in Sylhet.
Bangladesh made three changes to their playing XI, bringing back Anamul Haque Bijoy, Nayeem Hasan and giving the Test cap to Tanzim Hasan Sakib. To pave the way for them, Bangladesh overlooked Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Nahid Rana, and Khaled Ahmed.
Sylhet Test: Muzarabani takes six, Zimbabwe need 174 to win
Zimbabwe sidelined Victor Nyauchi and Nyasha Mayavo to pave the way for leg-spinner Vincent Masekesa and Tafadzwa Tsiga. Vincent is getting his Test cap in this match.
Chattogram’s wicket is traditionally friendly for the spinners, and that history has prompted both teams to field a spin-heavy attack.
