Before the series against Zimbabwe started, Bangladesh was ahead on paper. However, Bangladesh is now going through such a bad time on the field that Zimbabwe has almost defeated the Shanto Bahini after the start of the Sylhet Test. With a 3-wicket win, Sean Williams is now in the driver’s seat in the series.

This time it is a fight to save the series for Bangladesh. Bangladesh will take the field in Chittagong on Monday (April 28) with a team rusted with confidence. The second and final Test of the two-match series will begin at 10 am at the Bir Shrestha Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Stadium in Chittagong.

What will Bangladesh’s playing XI be like in the Test to be held in Chittagong? There are various discussions about that. Phil Simmons did not say anything clearly about the playing XI in the pre-match press conference on Sunday (April 27). However, he mentioned the possibility of playing an extra spinner.

He was saying, ‘Either 3 pacers with 2 spinners or 3 spinners with 2 pacers (such an XI) will be. But I cannot say for sure right now. We will take the final decision later.

Bangladesh’s probable XI for the Chittagong Test

Enamul Haque Bijoy, Shadman Islam, Mominul Haque, Nazmul Hossain Shanto (captain), Zaker Ali, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mehedi Hasan Miraj, Naeem Hasan, Taijul Islam, Khaled Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud.
