Zimbabwe v Bangladesh (Only Test Match).
Tomorrow is Day 4 of the 5-day Test Match and Bangladesh are just about evens to win. They won the toss and decided to field on Day 1 and bowled out Zimbabwe for 370. In reply they made 287 to give Zimbabwe a 1st innings lead of 83 in the middle of yesterday's play. At the close of play yesterday in their 2nd innings Zimbabwe were 92/4 (lead of 175) after being 69/0, so a bit of a collapse. The odds currently stand as follows:
Zimbabwe 2.32
Bangladesh 2.2
The Draw 9
I think Bangladesh are a great play here, Zimbabwe are only just coming back into Test cricket, whilst Bangladesh have continued to play for the last 11 years. Once the first wicket goes in the morning Zimbabwe will have no recognised batsmen left so I'm predicting that they'll be all out in a short space of time, possibly around halfway through the second session of play tomorrow. If so Bangladesh will have half of Day 4 and the whole of Day 5 to chase a target of around 250-300, which should be easy for a team with batsmen of their ability.
My pick: Bangladesh @ 2.2.
If you would like a more conservative bet then you should bet against the draw, which is incredibly unlikely - there's no bad weather to halt play so both teams will be gunning for a win on the final day.
