Shoriful Islam Dropped, CSK's Mustafizur In? Bangladesh's Probable XI For 3rd T20I vs ZIM

On Tuesday, Bangladesh will cross swords against Zimbabwe in the third T20I of the ongoing five-match series on home soil. Bangladesh have taken a crucial two-nil lead by winning the first two games convincingly. 

So, they would like to seal the series through another victory and take their confidence to a whole new level before the all-important T20 World Cup scheduled next month. 

Regarding this series, Bangladesh have succeeded while chasing totals on two consecutive occasions. 

While Taskin Ahmed and Mohammad Saifuddin have enjoyed stellar success with the ball, the consistency of Tanzid Hasan has paid rich dividends for the hosts. 

Meanwhile, the bowling form of Shoriful Islam emerges as a massive concern for Bangladesh. The left-arm pacer, who had a magnificent BPL 2024 season, has scalped only a solitary wicket, conceding 63 runs in eight overs in the first two games. 

However, considering his reputation, Bangladesh will give him another opportunity to showcase his mettle with the ball before the World Cup. 

Also, experienced pacer Mustafizur Rahman won't be available for selection for this game. Mustafizur, who left CSK to join the national setup, might make his comeback in the next fixture.
