Bangladesh whitewashed Zimbabwe in the three-match ODI series last week and will now look to carry the winning momentum into Test series which starts in Sylhet from November 3. Bangladesh haven't won a Test since September 2017, have lost six of their last seven Tests and now they have a good opportunity to return on winning ways against the tenth-ranked side, Zimbabwe who also haven't won a Test since September 2013. Bangladesh will miss their top two players Tamim Iqbal and Shakib al Hasan who are injured right now. On the other hand, Zimbabwe will play their first Test of 2018.
