Zimbabwe played their first ever T20 international on 28th November 2006. Co-incidentally, it was also their opponents Bangladesh's first. Zimbabwe, who have won only 13 games out of 61, started out their T20I in a losing effort. One of their 13 wins, their most historic win came against Australia at the 2007 T20 World Cup.

Zimbabwean team have largely suffered due to the departure of their crucial players, especially when their team was on the verge of a steep rise. Owing to this, the Zimbabwean team has been lingering on the bottom of the table for quite a long time, not only in T20s but also in ODIs and tests.

We take a look at how their best T20 XI would stack up.
