Bangladesh team along with the touring Zimbabwe side reached the port city Chittagong Monday for the last two matches of the three-game ODI series after playing the first one at Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka Sunday.
The Tigers will lock horns with the tourist in the second and third ODIs at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Cricket Stadium Wednesday and Friday respectively.
Wednesday's match will break the two-year hiatus of ZACCS staging an ODI as the ground last hosted a 50-over game back in 2016 when England played the third game of that series here.
Both Bangladesh and Zimbabwe will get one practice session at ZACCS Tuesday before the second and penultimate ODI.
Opening batsman Imrul Kayes made his highest ODI score not only to salvage @BCBtigers' innings but also proved his worth as a senior top-order batsman months before the @cricketworldcup.https://t.co/uwpIillyjj#IMRULKAYES #IMRUL #KAYES #BANGLADESH #BCBTIGERS #CRICKET #ZIMBABWE

Bangladesh made a winning start to their first home series in eight months, securing a 28-run victory in the first ODI against Zimbabwe in Mirpur Sunday.
Bangladesh batted first and despite a top-order debacle posted 271 runs on the board, riding on opener Imrul Kayes’ career-best 144-run innings. Zimbabwe were later restricted to 243.
Following the Chittagong phase, the two teams will then travel to Sylhet for the first of the two-match Test series, scheduled to begin on November 3 at Sylhet International Stadium.
Zimbabwe however, before moving to Sylhet will play a three-day tour match against BCB XI in Chittagong, starting Monday.
