Zimbabwe don’t look good

answers about Zimbabwe’s preparedness for this global showcase and their ability to match giants like Sri Lanka.
The Zimbabweans lost by 54 runs in the first match against Ireland and then crashed to a five-wicket defeat against Bangladesh.
They failed to defend 134 against Bangladesh.
National team assistant coach, Stephen Mangongo, said the results in the warm-up matches were not a true reflection of his team’s capacity as they were simply preparing and blending new players to play in unfamiliar conditions.
“We are not affected much by the warm-up match results; this is a stage where we are testing new combinations.
“The likes of Kyle Jarvis and Brian Vitori haven’t played much in sub-continent conditions and this was a chance for them to adapt.
“We were not ready, in as far as acclimatising is concerned, when compared to the other teams.
“The Irish, for example, were here 10 days before we played them and we had one travel day and a practice day before we met them,” said Mangongo 
Opener Vusi Sibanda top scored for Zimbabwe with 40 runs from 47 balls after Bangladesh won the toss and sent the Zimbabweans to bat.
Captain Brendan Taylor added 21 runs to the total but was caught by Mashrafe Mortaza in the 10th over.
Abdur Razzak was the pick of the Tigers’ bowlers after he claimed two wickets for 21 runs in four overs.
Twice Zimbabwe has failed to build a half century partnership and this should be a cause for concern to the coaching staff.
Bangladesh were aggressive in the chase despite losing early wickets.
Shakib Al Hassan (38) and Mohammad Ashraful (28) formed a match-winning 57-run partnerships for the second wicket while Ziaur Rahman (26*) and Mahmudullah (23*) finished unbeaten with a 50-run partnership for the sixth wicket.
Zimbabwe’s bowlers had a poor show as, collectively, Vitori, Raymond Price and Prosper Utseya went for 94 runs from nine overs.
And the opposition is simply getting tougher and Sri Lanka are next tomorrow.
Mangongo remains optimistic that Zimbabwe’s attack will rise to the occasion.
“They are likely to prepare a slow and flat wicket, which is ideal for their spin bowlers, and we can play spin well. We have a good line-up of fast bowlers and will unleash them on the day. It will be a night match and the toss will be crucial to us — we would like to bat first before the dew settles and our fast bowlers will be able to exploit these conditions,” he said.
