Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh Live Telecast in India
Dream Sports has bought the broadcast rights from Zimbabwe Cricket Board to stream their home matches in India. So, the Dream Sports-owned Fancode app will broadcast the ZIM vs BAN series in India. The app is available for both android and ios devices, and can also be accessed through the official website. To watch the 6 matches between Zimbabwe and Bangladesh, you can either buy a ‘Tour Pass’ worth INR 49 or a monthly or annual subscription which will cost you INR 99 and 399 respectively.

ZIM vs BAN ODI & T20 Schedule
Harare Sports Club is going to host all 6 matches. Bangladesh is certainly a better team than Zimbabwe on paper, however, the African side can’t be underestimated. In past, they have done wonders in shorter formats of the game. So, we can expect entertaining rivalry throughout the series. As far as the timing of games in India is concerned, ODIs will begin at 1:00 PM while the live telecast of ZIM vs BAN T20s will start at 4:00 PM in India.
