CA-BCB are confirming the upcoming tour and BCB seems confident about it but i'm still not sure as CA has a habit of backing down from their commitment at the last moment. They did the same with Proteas last year and covid cases are increasing in Bangladesh. Who knows if they come up with the same excuse one more time? So i'll wait for Aussie team to land in Dhaka first.
All three T20 will be easily won by Bangladesh, unless they do something weird. Zimbabwe lacks experience it shows in their game. If they play more matches with good team they will become a team that could win matches. Two more matches are left they might come back.
Things look gloomy for Zimbabwe. Bangladesh needs another 30 runs from 3.3 overs, with 8 wickets in hand. Lately there have been a wobble with Bangladesh, as Mahmudullah is back in the pavilion to an unwanted run out. Only during the initial few overs of the first innings, it looked as if Zimbabwe could match their opponents. After that, Bangladesh just dominated the match. Unless the Bangladeshi batsmen throw their wickets away at this point, they should cruise comfortably to a victory in this match. Australia is a far better team than Bangladesh and for them, it will be a cakewalk to win the series. The present series would be won by Bangladesh iI do not think they will face any issue. I still think out of the three Zimbabwe might win won. Yesterday's match was a one-sided one as Bangladesh dominated both bowling and batting. I hope Zimbabwe works on their weakness for the next T20 match.

Apart from 2-3 players such as Blessing Muzarabani, Sikandar Raza and Brendan Taylor, the rest of Zimbabwe squad is not up to a level that is skilled enough to take part in international cricket. If they perform this bad when playing against Bangladesh, then you can imagine what would happen when they take on some of the big 3 teams. ICC needs to rethink on their Zimbabwe strategy. $12 million in annual funds poured in to Zimbabwe every year for the last two decades haven't given any returns. If a fraction of that amount was given to associate nations such as Nepal or PNG, then they would have performed much better than this.

In the match between South Africa and Ireland, South Africa managed to score 159 runs by batting first. This is not a large collection for the T20 format. If Ireland's batting lieup had been somewhat stable, South Africa would have lost the match. At the end of 14 overs, Ireland collected 92 runs, losing 6 wickets.
It was very disappointing from Ireland. I was watching the match live on Fancode, and at one point they had South Africa struggling at 58/5 in 10 overs. And after 15 overs, South Africa were at 85/5. But in the next 5 overs, South Africans managed to score a total of 74 runs. The last over alone went for 24 runs (4 sixes by David Miller). If the target was kept to 130-135, then Ireland could have won the match. But 160 was a bit too much for them, especially against a bowling attack that included Lungi Ngidi and Tabraiz Shamsi.

Already Ireland have marked a win against them in the ODI and the ODI series has ended in a tie. In both the T20 matches South Africa have won with an average scoring. South Africa used to perform massive in unexpected games and used to underperform in the same way. This time there is nothing as a fault, as they've managed to win. Anyhow the ODI win shows the progressive move of Ireland compared to other teams in its slot. legendary

Once again, Zimbabwe wasted a good chance and ended up with a mediocre total (152 all out). And as expected, Bangladesh has started well. I am getting really tired with this Zimbabwe team. I lost the count of occasions where they wasted good beginnings. After 10 overs, Zimbabwe were at 91/2. Can you believe what happened after that? They made 62 runs in the next 10 overs, after losing 8 wickets. This is beyond pathetic. The middle order folded up without even attempting a fight. Do we need such teams in international cricket? Really feel bad for Blessing Muzarabani. He is wasting his talent in this shit team.

What do you mean by exceptionally well?
I guess they have to, they are playing with Zimbabwe and not with a top team. They have to win all the T20 matches otherwise they will lose their T20 ranking and land below zimbabwe. There is nothing exceptional about the matches played and won by Bangladesh with Zimbabwe in the past series. The T20 series might be a tough one for Bangladesh.
There is nothing wrong with expecting Bangladesh to perform well over Zimbabwe. Bangladesh must win, as they have a better T20 team than Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe lost the ODI series and now the focus shifts to the T20 series. You should respect your opponent when playing T20, since momentum can change at any time, making any team vulnerable. However, Bangladesh is doing very well. What do you mean by exceptionally well?

Which country could win the t20 match between Bangladesh and Zimbabwe ? Please leave with your comments....
Looking forward to enjoying this match. Bangladesh has performed exceptionally well in the entire series. Hopefully they will perform well in today's match and win the match. The Bangladesh team is stable enough now. Winning with a weak opponent like Zimbabwe is not a difficult task.

Nowadays players maintain great level of fitness and it is not unusual to find 38-39 year olds playing international cricket. Along with Mohammad Hafeez, another player who maintains a good fitness standard is Shoaib Malik. For the batsmen and spinners, it is relatively easy. But that is not the case for the pace bowlers. Wear and tear from heavy workload means that most of them retire by the time they reach 35-36. A few who surprises me with their determination are James Anderson of England and Peter Siddle of Australia (although the latter no longer play international cricket).
Of course, a lot has to do with fitness and motivation/determination but another thing you would always see from cricketers playing in the later stages of their career is that they have an easy to follow and repeat action. I mean I cannot recall a bowler with smoother action than Anderson and for Siddle, it's not pretty but he has a good swift landing point as most of the time it's the leg injuries that pull the pacers back.For batsmen, you will see the ones who maintain workload better will play for long periods. Talking about cricket, I see Ireland doing pretty well and I can only imagine how strong the team would look if they had their original player Eoin morgan in the team. If they had better batsmen and a experienced captain, which is what Eoin is best at, they would be a really good cricketing team.
The second franchise league organized by the ECB, The Hundred starts from today (it will take place along with the T20 Blast, which is organized by the counties). The first match is between Oval Invincibles and Manchester Originals, and will start at 4:30 pm GMT. The Oval side includes big names such as Sam Curran, Sam Billings, Tom Curran, Saqib Mahmood, Sunil Narine, Jason Roy and Tabraiz Shamsi (who controversially replaced Sandeep Lamichhane two days ago), while the Manchester squad features Jos Buttler, Carlos Brathwaite, Lockie Ferguson, Colin Munro, Ollie Robinson and Phil Salt.

Bangladesh has been unbeaten so far in this tour, as they have swept the test and ODI series. I don't expect any upsets during the T20 series as well. Zimbabwe simply doesn't have the capability to take on test nations at this point. Apart from a handful of players such as Taylor, Muzarabani, Burl and Raza, they don't have international quality squad. On the other hand, the Bangladeshi players haver performed well - especially Shakib al Hasan, Liton Das, Taskin Ahmed, Tamim Iqbal and Mahmudullah.

Although they managed to win only one match, none of their defeats were one sided. And that gives them hope. Pakistan has performed at a level much better than teams like Sri Lanka and South Africa (which recently lost an ODI match to Ireland). Outside the big 3 + NZ grouping, Pakistan seems to be the strongest team. And in UAE/Oman they usually have home advantage, because when Pakistan was unable to host matches, UAE used to be its home venue. But do they have a chance to win the world cup this time? It's a difficult question.
Since the World Cup is taking place in the UAE Pakistan will have an advantage as you said and their spinners can trouble any batsman like they did against England in the final T20I and even though they lost the match, it was a close match. I watched the highlights because i thought England would win easily but how come they dragged till the end and made it difficult and if not for the missed catches i seriously think Pakistan would have won.Although they managed to win only one match, none of their defeats were one sided.

I feel Pakistan have no pressure going into the T20 World Cup because they’re not contenders for winning it, and hence they’ll be able to play their natural game and if they win matches then it’s added benefit for them. Furthermore the venue of the World Cup will support their team, hence I would not judge them based solely on this series.
Pakistan will not have any added pressure and if they play freely they have a chance to compete against any team.I feel Pakistan have no pressure going into the T20 World Cup because they’re not contenders for winning it, and hence they’ll be able to play their natural game and if they win matches then it’s added benefit for them.

Usually Asian teams are not known for their fitness level but it is good to see players like Mohammad Hafeez and Shoaib Malik can match with any players even in the shorter format.Nowadays players maintain great level of fitness and it is not unusual to find 38-39 year olds playing international cricket.

I agree with you. At least Pakistan tried and fought till the end, I appreciate that. It's too early to draw any conclusions just after winning or losing a series. The T20 format is the most unpredictable, any team can beat any other on a given day! Although England is playing great cricket right now, their weakness against slow bowling, especially in the middle overs, is something that needs to be addressed.
If Pakistan could trouble them in England with their spinners then they will struggle in the spinning wickets of UAE. Pakistan can be a dark horse in the upcoming World Cup. I agree with you.

The individual performances does not matter much when they can't contribute in the winning of the team. All such efforts go in vain and no one remember them if the team does not win.
I must appreciate the England team who despite the B team, played superbly and got an historic win.

Have to agree and the Pakistan team (for all the formats) remain heavily dependent on a few players. The younger players are not living up to the expectation. And BTW, England was not fielding a B team. Some of the regular players were missing, but some of their top performers in the T20 format, such as Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid, Moeen Ali, Jos Buttler, Jason Roy, Dawid Malan and Jonny Bairstow were playing. So Pakistan has no reasons to be dejected about their performances. Plenty of positives for them to take away from the tour.
