Bangladesh will bowl first in the third and final ODI against Zimbabwe in Harare today after making two changes to their playing XI for the dead rubber.

Having already lost the series after defeats in the opening two matches, the Tigers will be aiming to salvage some pride.

Bangladesh won the toss for the third consecutive match and again elected to field first.

Left-arm spinner Tanvir Islam replaces leg-spinner Rishad Hossain, while all-rounder Mohammad Saifuddin comes in for pacer Nahid Rana.

Bangladesh lost the first ODI by 25 runs before suffering a 13-run defeat in the second match, handing Zimbabwe an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.

Zimbabwe have made three changes for this match.

Bangladesh: Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Soumya Sarkar, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Nurul Hasan(w), Towhid Hridoy, Mehidy Hasan Miraz(c), Mosaddek Hossain, Mohammad Saifuddin, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Tanvir Islam
