The hosts are leading by 2-0 in the series
Zimbabwe have already clinched the series by winning the first two games convincingly, courtesy of the all-round brilliance of Sikandar Raza. On the other hand, Bangladesh, who were lauded after their series victory against West Indies, have been put into some serious reality check after two successive defeats.
While the hosts would undoubtedly like to script history by accomplishing a whitewash, the visitors would try their best to end their disappointing tour on a high note.
Spotlight: Sikandar Raza
Obviously, we can't think of another name for our spotlight player as Sikandar Raza has recently grabbed a million eyeballs exhibiting incredible consistency. The veteran all-rounder topped the run-getters list in the T20I series, amassing 127 runs at a phenomenal strike rate of 158.75.
Raza slammed his fifth ODI ton in the last game
Continuing his scintillating form, the stylish right-hander smashed twin hundreds in the first two matches, playing a pivotal role in Zimbabwe's stunning victories. He oozed his class with the ball as well, picking four wickets at an impressive economy of 5.47. Considering his form, we expect him to put up another match-winning performance tomorrow.

Regis Chakabva smashed a blistering 75-ball 102 in the last game, helping Zimbabwe register a memorable victory.
