Toss Zimbabwe elects to bowl against Bangladesh.
Sikandar Raza, Zimbabwe's captain, elected to bowl first in the fourth Twenty20 International against Bangladesh in Dhaka. The visitors dropped wicketkeeper Joylord Gumbie and middle-order batsman Craig Ervine in favor of left-arm quick Richard Ngarava and batter Ryan Burl.

Najmul Hossain Shanto, Bangladesh's captain, also wanted to bowl first.
Shakib Al Hasan Soumya Sarkar and Mustafizur Rahman returned for Bangladesh, who were also added to the team ahead of the game. Mahmudullah, Litton Das, and Mohammad Saifuddin made room for the trio.

Shakib last played a T20I in July 2023, but an eye issue and a finger injury limited his opportunities following the ODI World Cup last year. Mustafizur, meanwhile, returned to the team after a brief absence due to an IPL stint with Chennai Super Kings.
The match is the first T20I to be played at Dhaka's Shere Bangla National Stadium since March 2023. During this time, Bangladesh played their final 11 T20Is in either Sylhet or Chattogram.
Bangladesh leads the five-match series 3-0, having won the first three matches by eight wickets, six wickets, and nine runs, respectively.

Bangladesh squad: Tanzid Hasan, Soumya Sarkar, Najmul Hossain Shanto (captain), Towhid Hridoy, 5 Shakib Al Hasan, 6 Jaker Ali (wk), 7 Rishad Hossain, 8 Taskin Ahmed, 9 Tanzim Hasan, and 10 Mustafizur Rahman 11. Tanvir Islam
