Sikandar Raza stood in as Zimbabwe captain for the third ODI against Bangladesh, with no clarity as to why regular skipper Regis Chakabva was ruled out of the match. Zimbabwe won the toss for the third time in a row and decided to field in their hunt for a series sweep.
With Chakabva – also the wicketkeeper – missing, Zimbabwe gave an ODI debut to 22-year-old wicketkeeper-batter Clive Madande, while Richard Ngarava returned in place of Tanaka Chivanga in the bowling attack.
Bangladesh, who have already lost the series, dropped fast bowlers Taskin Ahmed and Shoriful Islam and replaced them with Mustafizur Rahman and Ebadot Hossain, who is making his ODI debut.
Zimbabwe had chased down totals of 304 and 291 in the first two ODIs of the series, and thus have an unassailable 2-0 lead already. They now have the chance to sweep an ODI series 3-0 for the first time against a Full Member side since their 3-0 win over Bangladesh in 2001-02.
