Match Thread - 3rd ODI: Zimbabwe v Bangladesh at Bulawayo May 8, 2013 (13:00 BDT | 09:00 local | 07:00 GMT | 03:00 EDT | 02:00 CDT | 00:00 PDT)

Expecting seniors to stand up. Up top especially.

Tamim- Needs to fire away and do what he does best, to tear opponents to shreds in the first 10 overs. No poking, pushing. Throw kitchen sink at any half vollies and any deliveries with width.

Ash- Have no hope but at least try and build a foundation for the rest to build on. Rotate and put away the bad deliveries. Target a 70 run partnership up top.

Kopa/Jahu - ROTATE THE DAMN STRIKE! Build a partnership! Don't build pressure at the other end by not rotating.

I believe Shak, Mushy and Nas will fire. And Riyad will be Riyad...:

[wktkeeper]

the first ODI had a 65 run partnership between ash and tamim. they need to repeat it atleast for the next game if not more

[Zeeshan]

this will probably be the first match thread to get reported in history of BC!

Mushfik gets his century, Shakib will get his 50, Zia will do a good practice for his T20,
Lalla will not be able to do much, Zim will get close but we will win by little margin.

Tamim will play a stretchy long innings. Obama and Crisis to the rescue.

please suggest two other batsman to replace this two,

[wktkeeper]

the only change i see is mominul with samshur. but seems team will be the same from last ODI. management will not take any risk with new comers for the deciding ODI

I like the thread title modification to help all time zone except Bangladesh.

Us back home dislike you people even more, for leaving Bangladesh for the sake of better oppurtunities.

Then show us you are not one by editing the thread title to add Bangladesh Time. You never know it may stop few more getting killed if they know the time of the match.

Toss will be very vital tomorrow.

Pitch and conditions
There is no particular change in conditions so the toss will again be vital. Both teams will look to bowl first to make use of early swing available.
