Bangladesh Vs Zimbabwe Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1: Follow Scorecard And Match Action From Chattogram
BAN vs ZIM 2nd Test Live (Bangladesh national cricket team vs Zimbabwe national cricket team): Bangladesh will look to bounce back in the second and final cricket Test against Zimbabwe starting in Chattogram on Monday following a crushing defeat in the opener. Bangladesh failed to prove their batting mettle as they were bundled out for under 200 runs in the first innings in the series opener at Sylhet, making it impossible for them to make a comeback. In order to bolster their top-order batting, the hosts have recalled opener Anamul Haque who hit four centuries recently in the domestic circuit. Zimbabwe have been revelling in the success, with the victory ending their winless drought of four years in Tests. Pace bowler Blessing Muzarabani was the star of the show for Zimbabwe, bagging a nine-wicket haul in the match. Bangladeshi batters failed to negotiate the pace and bounce he generated on Sylhet's pace-friendly surface. However, the pitch in Chattogram is expected to be more friendly to the spinners. In view of this, Bangladesh have included uncapped left-arm spinner Tanvir Islam in the squad. Four of the top five bowlers in Chattogram are spinners — three of whom are in Bangladesh's current setup — a clear indication of what spinners are capable of at this venue. Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who bagged 10 wickets in the first match, would lead Bangladesh's spin attack along with Taijul Islam. Zimbabwe would rely on left-arm spinner Wellington Masakadza, and off-spinner Wessly Madhevere. Bangladesh have played 25 Tests at this venue, losing seven and drawing 16, whereas Zimbabwe lost their only previous Test here by 186 runs about a decade ago. The two teams have faced each other in 19 Tests, with eight wins each, while the other three matches ended in a draw.

BAN vs ZIM: Bangladesh aims to bounce back in second Zimbabwe Test
Bangladesh will look to bounce back in the second and final Test against Zimbabwe starting in Chattogram on Monday following a crushing defeat in the opener. Bangladesh failed to prove its batting mettle as it was bundled out for under 200 runs in the first innings in the series opener at Sylhet, making it impossible for it to make a comeback. In order to bolster its top-order batting, the host has recalled opener Anamul Haque who hit four centuries recently in the domestic circuit. 'I think we know that as a unit we didn't bat properly in the first innings,' Bangladesh coach Phil Simmons said on Sunday in Chattogram. 'We put ourselves in problems. We want to play a brand of positive Test cricket, not just going for 200 runs in a day,' he added. Zimbabwe has been revelling in the success, with the victory ending its winless drought of four years in Tests. 'The win in Sylhet brought a good vibe, a good atmosphere, and also belief,' Zimbabwe captain Craig Ervine said at the pre-match press conference. 'It's a nice place to be at the moment.'

Bangladesh recall in-form opener Anamul Haque for second Zimbabwe Test
Dhaka, Apr 24 (UNI) In-form opener Anamul Haque is in line to play his first Test in almost three years after he won a recall to Bangladesh's squad for the second and final Test against Zimbabwe in Chattogram. Anamul hasn't played a red-ball fixture since he appeared against the West Indies in June 2022, but the 32-year-old earns a call-up to a 15-player squad on the back of some excellent efforts at domestic level. The right-hander has hit consecutive centuries for Gazi Group in the Dhaka Premier League and could be in contention to add to his five previous Test appearances as Bangladesh attempt to square their two-match series at home against Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe shocked the hosts with a three-wicket triumph in the opening Test of the series in Sylhet and Bangladesh have responded by making two changes to their squad for the second Test that commences at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium on April 28. Uncapped left-arm spinner Tanvir Islam is included in the squad alongside Anamul, while opener Zakir Hasan and pacer Nahid Rana are the two players to drop out, an ICC report said. Bangladesh squad: Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Shadman Islam, Anamul Haque, Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahidul Islam Ankon, Jaker Ali, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam, Nayeem Hasan, Tanvir Islam, Hasan Mahmud, Khaled Ahmed, Tanzim Hasan Sakib.
