Mustafizur, Nurul in as Bangladesh opt to bowl

Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal won the toss for the first time in the series and opted to bowl first against Zimbabwe in the third and final ODI at the Harare Sports Club on Tuesday.

Bangladesh have already confirmed the series having won the first two matches. The margin of victory in the first match was by 155 runs while the second match went down to the wire as the Tigers prevailed with a three-wicket win.

Two changes for Zimbabwe as well: Ryan Burl and Donald Tiripano come in for Richard Ngarava and Tinashe Kamunhukamwe.
