Zimbabwe have not tasted success in ODI format for a long time now. They had a good chance to win the first game and stamp their authority but they bottled it. After restricting the hosts half-way to a decent total they just couldn't apply the final nail to the coffin. All said and done, we're in Chittagong for the second ODI. Hello and welcome to our coverage of this game. The visitors should take some positives from the 1st game and come hard on the hosts right from the start. If they do, there is a high possibility they can be on the other side of the line. The hosts without their two main players, Tamim and Shakib, look a bit shaky and that was seen in the 1st game. Imrul Kayes saved them and they will hope someone takes the responsibility today. Stay tuned for the toss and other updates.
