ZIM vs BAN 1st ODI, Cricket Tips: The one-off test between Zimbabwe and Bangladesh saw a sheer domination by the home side. They didn't let the visitors come near and record a win by an innings and 85 runs. That is their biggest Test win ever. Now, they will hope to take the momentum forward in the ODIs.

These two sides will be up against each other in three ODIs, starting on Monday at 1 PM IST at Harare Sports Club. This is the first game as ODI captain for Richard Ngarava, whereas Mehidy Hasan Miraz has the responsibility to lead the visitors. Litton Das is unlikely for the first game, and it will be a big miss, but the excellent pace unit for Bangladesh is ready to roar.
