Zimbabwe and Bangladesh will face each other in the first ODI of the series at the Harare Sports Club in Harare on Monday, July 6. Zimbabwe will be full of confidence after registering a historic innings-and-85-run victory in the Test, while Bangladesh will be determined to put that defeat behind them and make a strong start to the three-match ODI series.

Zimbabwe will begin a new chapter under ODI captain Richard Ngarava as they continue building towards the 2027 World Cup. Experienced campaigners, Craig Ervine and Sikandar Raza, are expected to play crucial roles alongside in-form players like Brian Bennett and Blessing Muzarabani, as per the Dream11 Prediction for this game. Having not played an ODI since August 2025, the hosts will be keen to make a strong statement in front of their home crowd.

Bangladesh, meanwhile, welcome back several of their first-choice ODI players, including captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, and Nahid Rana after they were rested for the Test match. With players such as Najmul Hossain Shanto, Towhid Hridoy, and Tanzid Hasan strengthening the batting unit, Bangladesh will be hoping to return to the winning form that saw them claim four successive ODI series victories under Miraz's leadership.
