Bangladesh opt to bowl in Zimbabwe ODI opener
Bangladesh captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz won the toss and elected to bowl first in the opening ODI of the three-match series against Zimbabwe at the Harare Sports Club on Monday.
The Tigers enter the match looking to bounce back from their innings-and-85-run defeat in the one-off Test.
The visitors have enjoyed a strong run in ODI cricket, winning four successive bilateral series, including a 2-1 home triumph over Australia last month, although they lost their previous ODI series in Zimbabwe 2-1 in Harare in 2022.
