Zimbabwe lost by 118 runs against Bangladesh in their last Test match before the ICC ban. Despite the defeat, they drew that series against Bangladesh with their 151-run victory in the 1st Test match ending the series as 1-1. Zimbabwe have gone a wholesome change since then with their captain in that series – Hamilton Masakadza – not the country’s director of cricket. Sean Williams will be leading the team now with both overseeing the resurgence of Zimbabwe cricket.

Sri Lanka, have already trodden that path – sans the ICC ban – and have their own story of cricketing resurgence. The Lanka cricket team, for a change, start as favourites against Zimbabwe. They were clean swept by Australia but beat South Africa in remarkable fashion last year. Led by Dimuth Karunaratne, Sri Lanka then played a 1-1 a draw with New Zealand before losing the historic away Test series in Pakistan.
