Tigers keen to stay on winning track

DHAKA: Tigers want to play their second match in the in four-match Twenty 20 series against Zimbabwe at Sheikh Abu Naser Stadium in Khulna on a winning note.

The match is scheduled to begin at 3:00 pm (Bangladesh time) on Sunday (January 17).

The potential inclusion of Arafat Sunny could be one possible change for Bangladesh if they look to try out more combinations.

Zimbabwe may rethink their bowling attack with either of Neville Madziva, Tendai Chisoro or Taurai Muzarabani getting a chance to play.

"I think winning the first game of the year was quite useful. This series is very important ahead of the Asia Cup. We want to win all four games," said Sabbir Rahman while talking to espncricinfo.com

"I think it was more of positives from the way we started our batting and at some stages our spinners bowled well as well. So there were few positives to take out of the game." Zimbabwe batsman Hamilton Masakadza

Earlier on Friday, tigers have beaten visiting Zimbabwe by four wickets with eight-ball to spare in the first Twenty20 match at the same venue.
