The 28th match of World Cup T20 2022 is scheduled to play between Bangladesh and Zimbabwe on Sunday, 30th October 2022 at The Gabba, Brisbane

Bangladesh totally failed to play good cricket in their previous match against South Africa and lost the match by a margin of 104 runs. This kind of big defeat never comes in T20 cricket. The bowlers and batters of Bangladesh were totally under pressure. They lost the toss and were asked to field first. The performance of their bowling unit was very poor and they leaked 205 runs in 20 overs. No bowler from their side could stop the batters of South Africa from scoring the runs. The skipper, Shakib Al Hasan proved the highest wicket-taker with two wickets to his name in three overs against 33 runs. Taskin Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud, and Afif Hossain picked one wicket each while Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mustafizur Rehman, and Mosaddek Hossain were the bowlers who failed to pick any wicket.

The batting order of Bangladesh also collapsed in the previous match while chasing a big total on the board. They could manage to score just 101 runs and their full team came back to the pavilion in 16.3 overs while chasing the target of 206 runs. Litton Das was the only batter from their side who put some runs on the board. He scored 34 runs on 31 balls with the help of one boundary and the same huge six. Soumya Sarkar scored 15 runs while Mosaddek Hossain had 12 runs to his name. Taskin Ahmed could manage to score just 10 runs. No other batter from the side of Bangladesh could enter into the double figure. Bangladesh had lost one match and their net run rate is also very poor. They need to win the remaining matches with big margins to remain in the contest.

Zimbabwe had an upset against Pakistan and their important match with a margin of just one run. They won the toss and decided to bat first. The performance of their batting order was not much impressive and they could manage to score just 130 runs in 20 overs. Sean Williams was the highest run-scorer from their side with 31 runs to his name on 28 balls with the help of three boundaries. Brad Evans and the skipper, Craig Ervine scored 19 runs each while Madhevere scored 17 runs. Ryan Burl also performed well and remained not out after scoring 10 runs.

Zimbabwe won the previous match due to outstanding performance by their bowling unit. They were also good at fielding and put the strong batting order of Pakistan right from the start. They defended the target of 131 runs and leaked 129 runs. Remember that they defended eight runs in the 20th over. Sikandar Raza did not perform well with the bat but he was just outstanding with the ball. He was also the most successful and highest wicket-taker with three wickets to his name in four overs against just 25 runs. Brad Evans was the other bowler who destroyed the batting order of Pakistan. He picked up two wickets in four overs while he was charged with 25 runs. Luke Jongwe and Blessing Muzarabani picked one wicket each.

Bangladesh played 19 T20 matches against Zimbabwe where they won 12 matches while Zimbabwe won 7 matches against Bangladesh.

The 28th match of World Cup T20 2022 is going to be held at The Gabba, Brisbane. We had observed in the previous matches played here that the pitch here at this venue is good for batting. The pitch is bouncy and fast and run-scoring is not much easy in early and middle overs. We are hoping that the surface is bound to get slower and be a bit more difficult for batting in this match. A score of 170 is going to be tough to chase.

The weather forecast in Brisbane is predicting some clouds around on match day and the weather forecast is also predicting some chances of rain but we are hoping for a full and uninterrupted match.
