Bangladesh decided to field first once again after winning the toss against Zimbabwe in the second T20I in Chattogram. They named the same XI that won the first match by eight wickets on Friday.

Zimbabwe made three changes, handing a T20I debut to 26-year-old Johnathan Campbell, son for former Zimbabwe captain Alistair, and bringing in Ainsley Ndlovu and Tadiwanashe Marumani. They dropped Sean Williams and Ryal Burl, while Wellington Masakadza was left out after getting hit on the head in the first game and getting subbed out with concussion symptoms.

The third T20I will also be held in Chatrogram on May 7, followed by the final two games in Dhaka on May 10 and 12.
