Zimbabwe choose to bat in second T20I

Zimbabwe won the toss and elected to bat first against visiting Bangladesh in the second Twenty20 international match in Harare.

The hosts lost a quick wicket as offspinner Mahedi Hasan bowled opener Tadiwanashe Marumani in the second over.

Zimbabwe scored 33 for 1 after 4 overs. Wessley Madhevere was batting at 21 and Regis Chakabva at 8.

The players observe a minute of silence for the passing away of Aminul Islam's father last night.

Bangladesh replaced Liton Das and Mustafizur Rahman with debutant Shamim Hossain and Taskin Ahmed. Both Mustafizur and Liton were left out due to injury. Zimbabwe also made two changes bringing in Chatara and Shumba for Ngarava and Musakanda.

Bangladesh beat Zimbabwe by eight wickets in the first Twenty20 international on the same ground on Thursday.

Squads:

Bangladesh: Mohammad Naim, Soumya Sarkar, Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah (capt), Afif Hossain, Nurul Hasan (wk), Shamim Hossain, Mahedi Hasan, Mohammad Saifuddin, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam

Zimbabwe: Wessley Madhevere, Tadiwanashe Marumani, Regis Chakabva (wk), Dion Myers, Sikandar Raza (capt), Milton Shumba, Ryan Burl, Luke Jongwe, Wellington Masakadza, Tendai Chatara, Blessing Muzarabani
