Bangladesh

Bangladesh head into the second Test in Chattogram under severe pressure after their defeat in Sylhet. Their batting woes are at the heart of the problem. The openers have not scored an individual hundred or stitched a century partnership in over two years, and captain Najmul Hossain Shanto’s form remains patchy.

Mominul Haque is also struggling for a big score, while veteran Mushfiqur Rahim has now gone 12 innings without a half-century, raising serious concerns about his place in the side. In contrast, Jaker Ali, still new to international cricket, has scored a fifty in each of his first four Tests and might deserve promotion up the order.

Bangladesh have reacted to their batting failures by bringing in Anamul Haque and Shadman Islam for the top order, while also bolstering their spin options with the uncapped Tanvir Islam. On a traditionally batting-friendly Chattogram surface, the onus will again fall on the bowlers, particularly spinners Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Taijul Islam.

Mehidy comes into the match after a ten-wicket haul in Sylhet, but both he and Taijul will need to strike early in the innings to give Bangladesh a chance to force a result. The pace attack will miss Nahid Rana, who has left for the PSL, meaning Hasan Mahmud, Khaled Ahmed, and debutant Tanzim Hasan are expected to shoulder the fast-bowling duties.

With a flat pitch and rain predicted over the first three days, Bangladesh’s task to square the series looks tough unless their top order finally delivers.

Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe arrive in Chattogram with a golden opportunity to secure a rare overseas Test series win after their hard-fought victory in Sylhet. Their pace attack was the cornerstone of their success in the first Test, with Blessing Muzarabani leading from the front, picking up career-best match figures of 9 for 122.

Muzarabani was superb, but what stood out was the support he received: Richard Ngarava and Victor Nyauchi bowled relentlessly to keep Bangladesh under constant pressure. Wellington Masakadza and Wessly Madhevere contributed by keeping the lower order in check, highlighting the overall balance and discipline in Zimbabwe’s bowling.

However, their batting remains a concern. Brian Bennett was a standout, hitting fifties in both innings and showing a fearless attitude against pace, but beyond him and Sean Williams, Zimbabwe’s top order did not contribute heavily. They had to rely on crucial lower-order runs to stay competitive. Wicketkeeping is another worry; Nyasha Mayavo dropped several catches, something that could prove costly on a flatter batting pitch like Chattogram.

Despite these concerns, Zimbabwe are unlikely to tinker with their winning combination. Captain Craig Ervine will expect another strong showing from his bowlers and hope the batters can build on the starts they managed in Sylhet. With Chattogram's flat pitch and some rain expected, Zimbabwe will aim to be disciplined enough to seize key moments, knowing a draw would be enough for a historic series win

BAN vs ZIM Toss Prediction

The captain winning the toss should bat first. Chattogram is traditionally a batting paradise early on, with scores of 500+ in the last two matches here. Batting will get harder only deep into the game, and taking advantage of the good early conditions is crucial.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

Chattogram is the best batting pitch in Bangladesh — high scores are the norm, and it's hard to bowl teams out. Spinners might come into play late, but bowlers will need extra effort throughout. There is a forecast for rain during the first three days, which could disrupt play and make it harder to force a result.

BAN vs ZIM: Who Will Win?

We think the combination of a flat pitch, two weak bowling attacks, and the fact that some time may be lost because of weather makes this the perfect opportunity to bet on a Draw. The odds available at 1xBet and Dafabet are very attractive and we strongly recommend you to look at this market for some serious returns.

BAN vs ZIM win percentage stands at 76% in favor of BAN.
