Tamim Iqbal: The left-handed opening batsman continues to be Bangladesh’s batting mainstay. Tamim scored two centuries in the three-match ODI series and will be looking to emulate his performance in T20Is as well.

Sikandar Raza: The all-rounder posted two half-centuries in the ODI series and is one of the central figures in the Zimbabwean line-up.

Liton Das: Just like Tamim Iqbal, Liton Das was in superb form in the ODI series. The right-hander smashed two centuries as well. However, in T20Is here is some doubt whether Das will open the innings or not. Considering his good form, Bangladesh should let him open.

Sean Williams: Captain Sean Williams is an important member of the Zimbabwe team. He has been perfuming well with both bat and ball. In his last three T20I outings, he has two half-centuries. However, those were in September-October.

Afif Hossain: The youngster is regarded as one of the best upcoming talents. He was handed ODI debut in the third game against Zimbabwe. In ten T20Is, he has one half-century, which came in his second match, interestingly against Zimbabwe. Since then, he has not performed well. So, Afif will be under some pressure and who knows that will bring best out of him.
