After an impressive victory in the first Test at Mirpur, Dhaka, Bangladesh looked to carry forward the momentum in this second Test as well. Having won the toss and electing to bat first, captain Mushfiqur Rahim went in with an unchanged squad. Zimbabwe captain, Brendan Taylor on the other hand made three changes to his squad with debutant , Brian Chari coming in for Vusi Sibanda, Malcolm Waller for John Nyumbu and debutant, Natsai M’Shangwe for Tafadzwa Kamungozi.

Bangladesh openers, Tamim Iqbal and Shamsur Rahman came in to bat but unfortunately lost the first wicket of Rahman at the score of just six having been adjudged leg-before by Elton Chigumbura for just two. Next down was Mominul Haque and he along with Iqbal put up a good performance eventually bringing up the fifty for the team and a 56-run partnership so far. It remains to be seen whether these both batsmen last long enough on the crease for a big partnership or shall the Zimbabwean bowlers strike back with a beauty.

Brief Scores:

Bangladesh 62/1 (T Iqbal 27*, M Haque 26*; E Chigumbura one for 10) vs Zimbabwe.
