Zimbabwe and Bangladesh will cross swords against each other in the series decider in Harare tomorrow at 4.30 PM IST.
Both teams have played outstandingly in the series
Riding on Sikandar Raza's blistering knock, Zimbabwe emerged victorious by 17 runs in the first game. However, Bangladesh bounced back in style by handing the hosts a seven-wicket defeat, courtesy of Mosaddek Hossain's spectacular five-fer.
With the series on the line, we are set to witness a cracking contest on Tuesday.
Spot light player: Sikandar Raza
Raza has been in the form of his life in the shortest format. The experienced all-rounder was Zimbabwe's top scorer in the recently concluded World Cup qualifiers, with 228 runs at a phenomenal strike rate of 176.74.

Raza has been the best batter of the series so far
Continuing his glorious touch with the willow, Raza propelled Zimbabwe to 205 in the first T20I of this series. The stylish right-hander also rescued the hosts from humiliation in the second game by slamming a well-compiled 53-ball 62. Considering his red hot form, we choose Sikandar Raza as the player to watch out for in the match.
