Match facts
16th August Harare
Start time 0930 (0730 GMT)
Big Picture
Citizens of Zimbabwe are sniffing away from ending their drought for five years without the ODI series to win the Test-playing nation. They won in Ireland and Kenya in recent times, but their victory against the last set of test playing countries in August 2006 when they beat 3-2 at home in Bangladesh. Much has changed since then, and should be in Zimbabwe to pull out this victory, it would underline the perception that this is truly a new era of cricket.
So far, they have dominated their opponents convincingly, with the bowling attack and batting calmly. They have all the ingredients to cook up a successful summer - a new ball bowler, Brian Vitor like getting better every game, back-up of sailors as Elton Chigumbura, who plays a supporting role, but can also take wickets a higher order, which can play the seam and spin with the same conviction, and as they showed in the last game, a middle order that can finish the job.
Everything seems a little 'too easy to Zimbabwe at the moment, and you may decide to challenge themselves and try to defend a total contrast to chase one down, especially when half the order has not spent enough time for wrinkles. Perhaps these ideas is left Bulawayo, where he went on to win the series, and there is room for trial before a friendly Pakistan and New Zealand.
Bangladesh, disaster looms, according to Shakib Al Hasan, who has called the situation a crisis team. Their mistakes are obvious, like the series has progressed and is now in urgent need of attention.
Top seems to have glue stick to their peaks, so that they remain at the crease, and to avoid forcing the middle and lower orders to correct their mistakes. The first four have failed - whose implementation has been weak, and their application does not exist. Even if they are facing against a good offense, also had the tone and conditions favorable to the plate, and if Bangladesh are back in this series, which are going to have the patience to learn very quickly.
Bangladesh bowlers did not get much to work with, but they have not shown much perseverance and tended to drop after getting an early breakthrough. The left-arm spinners have not threatened and it will offspinners and Seam, which have shown that they can extract some reverse swing to take wickets. A more targeted effort is needed from Bangladesh if they have to go to Bulawayo with all the thoughts of restoring respectability.

In the spotlight
It was out cheaply in both games so far and although he leads a winning team, Brendan Taylor wants to produce with the bat too. Taylor recurring problem was a lack of footwork and after being overthrown by his counterpart in the first game and the edge while playing away from his body in another, it can be a problem, he wants the address the summer continues.
Nasir Hossain rescued an innings Bangladesh ragged debut in the previous game and immediately impressed with his handling of the ball short. At first glance, there is something different significantly in comparison with other Bangladesh batsmen Nasir. Rather than pull his shot mistiming or be rushed into it, he plays with skill and grace and maturity at the crease was evident in his 63rd good pace he had only given two overs with the ball, but it will be interesting to see how he is doing in this department as well.
Team news
With a series of winning just one match away from home, Zimbabwe is unlikely to play a successful XI. Kyle Jarvis is waiting for his chance, but maybe hang Bulawayo to get it, even though Chris Mpofu struggled a bit in the second game. Regis also Chakabva bide his time before getting a look in
Zimbabwe (probable): 1 Brendan Taylor (captain), Vusi Sibanda 2, 3 Hamilton Masakadza, Tatenda Taibu 4 (weeks), 5 Craig Ervin, Forster Mutizwa 6, 7 Elton Chigumbura, Prosper Utseya 8, 9 Ray Price, Brian 10 Vitor , 11 Chris Mpofu
Continuously is not a higher order would require some changes, and Bangladesh can be no other choice but to Junaid Siddique at last in one of Tamim Iqbal and Imrul Kayes should pay the price for poor performances so far. However, the selectors are reluctant to lose both, and Siddique can be inserted in the middle so that the above Shahriar Mohammad Ashraful, Nafees, or. Abdur Razzak is likely to be true, more for his line of his left arm spin, ie Suhrawadi Shuv have to sit out.
Bangladesh (probable): 1 Tamim Iqbal, 2 Imrul Kayes / Junaid Siddique, Shahriar Nafees 3, Mohammad Ashraful 4, 5 Shakib Al Hasan (CAPT), Mushfiqur Rahim 6 (WK), 7 Mahmudullah, 8 Nasir Hossain, Abdur Razzak 9, 10 Shafiul Islam, Rubel Hossain 11
Pitch and conditions
The surface must be good furs, as he did with one test and two ODIs earlier, with all the bands on the site known to be flat. The first hour has something for bowlers themselves, with just a little extra bounce and movement on offer. Later that day, the track has slowed, but there are not many tricks. Batting should be a fairly easy task, and bowlers will have to stick with good lines and lengths and bowl wicket to wicket to get results.
