With series on the line, Zimbabwe have chosen to bat first against Bangladesh in the second ODI at Harare Sports Club.
Sikandar Raza has been brought back in the Zimbabwean XI. The all-rounder had taken a break from cricket after he was diagnosed with bone infection. He replaces Ryan Burl today, one of Zimbabwe's two changes.
Opener Tinashe Kamunhukamwe comes in for Timycen Maruma, who injured his hamstring in the first ODI.
Bangladesh are going with an unchanged XI, which means Mustafizur Rahman remains on the bench. Mustafizur injured his right ankle in the practice match prior to the three-match series.
On Friday, the visitors claimed their biggest away ODI win, by 155 runs courtesy of Liton Das' 102 and Shakib Al Hasan's third career five-wicket haul. Despite the win, their top-order will be under the scanner. In the last five ODIs, they have lost first four wickets before crossing 100.
Playing XIs:
Bangladesh: Tamim Iqbal (captain), Liton Das, Shakib Al Hasan, Mohammad Mithun, Mosaddek Hossain, Mahmudullah Riyad, Afif Hossain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mohammad Saifuddin, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam
Zimbabwe: Tinashe Kamunhukamwe, Tadiwanashe Marumani, Brendan Taylor (captain), Dion Myers, Wesley Madhevere, Regis Chakabva, Sikandar Raza, Luke Jongwe, Tendai Chatara, Blessing Muzarabani, Richard Ngarava
