Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat first against Zimbabwe in the 5th match of the Tri-nation series at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium (SBNCS) in Mirpur on Tuesday.

Mashrafe Bin Mortaza-led host side is taking the field targeting to maintain the winning spree in the series after already emerging as the 1st finalist, while it's a must-win game for Graeme Cremer-led Zimbabwe to keep their final hope alive.
