Zimbabwe is coming off from a disappointing tri-series in Bangladesh where after a solitary win over Sri Lanka, they failed miserably in rest of the matches. They have also lost the two-match T20I series against Afghanistan. These ODIs will work as practice for World Cup qualifiers which start in March. Zimbabwe has a stern test ahead.
