The ODIs are scheduled to be played in Harare from July 6-11 while the T20Is will take place in Bulawayo from July 15-19.

Past encounters
Here's the overall head-to-head record
The two teams have played 20 Tests against each other, with the last one being in Bangladesh in 2025. That series ended in a draw (1-1). Overall, Bangladesh lead Zimbabwe by a narrow margin (9-8) in Test cricket. 3 games have been drawn. In ODIs, from 81 games, Bangladesh lead 51-30. Lastly in the 20-over format, the H2H record reads 17-8 in favor of Bangladesh from 25 clashes.
Upcoming challenge
Importance of the upcoming series for Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe's last tour by Bangladesh was in July-August 2022, where they won both the T20I and ODI series (2-1) in Harare. The upcoming series against Bangladesh is especially important for Zimbabwe as it will be their first home assignment of the year. It also marks their return to international cricket after a successful T20 World Cup campaign earlier this year, where they reached the Super Eight stage for the first time after beating Australia and Sri Lanka.
Series excitement
'We expect to see a highly competitive and exciting series'
Givemore Makoni, the managing director of Zimbabwe Cricket, expressed his excitement about Bangladesh's tour. He said, "We are delighted to confirm Bangladesh's tour of Zimbabwe for what we expect to be a highly competitive and exciting series across all formats." Makoni added that this tour is significant as it marks the return of top-level international cricket to their home venues after their team's stellar performance at ICC Men's T20 World Cup earlier this year.
