Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza won the toss for the first time in the series and sent Bangladesh in to bat first in the third T20 International at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram on Tuesday (7 May).
Bangladesh lead the five-match series 2-0 following its eight-wicket and six-win victory in the first two matches.
The hosts, eying to seal the series, brought up two changes from the last game with left-arm spinner Tanvir Islam and pacer Tanzim Hasan replacing Mahedi Hasan and Shoriful Islam.
Zimbabwe must win the match to stay alive in the series. The visitors also made two changes for its 'do or die' game. Allrounder Faraz Akram and Wellington Masakadza who missed the last game due to injury returned to the squad, replaced Richard Ngarava and Ainsley Ndlovu.
