Zimbabwe stick with winning team

Zimbabwe have named an unchanged side to face Bangladesh in Bulawayo on Wednesday in the final one-day international of the three-match series.

The home side have already wrapped up the series against international cricket's youngest team by following Saturday's seven-wicket win with a 127-run victory on Sunday.

Both matches were played in Harare.

Fast bowler Henry Olonga, meanwhile, is set to make his comeback from a four-month injury lay-off in a three-day match between Zimbabwe 'A' and the tourists in Bulawayo starting on Friday.

Olonga returned from Zimbabwe's tour of New Zealand in December with a stress fracture of the back. He has not played since and has missed the tour to Australia, Zimbabwe's domestic season and the start of the Bangladesh tour.

The three-day match is the last chance for Bangladesh to prepare for the two-Test series against Zimbabwe, starting in Bulawayo on April 19.

Bangladesh won Test status in June last year and played their maiden Test against India in November, losing by nine wickets.

Zimbabwe one-day squad: Heath Streak (captain), Guy Whittall, Andy Blignaut, Alistair Campbell, Stuart Carlisle, Dion Ebrahim, Andy Flower, Grant Flower, Doug Marillier, Brian Murphy, David Mutendera, Bryan Strang, Dirk Viljoen, Brighton Watambwa.

Zimbabwe 'A' squad: Hamilton Masakadza, Doug Marillier, Mark Vermeulen, Craig Wishart, Gavin Rennie, Paul Strang (captain), Tatenda Taibu, David Mutendera, Mluleki Nkala, Brighton Watamba, Henry Olonga. 12th man: Stuart Matsikenyeri.
