The November fixtures consisted of three One Day Internationals (ODIs), two Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) and a tour match.[4]
Originally, the tour was scheduled to comprise three Test matches, five ODIs and three T20Is, but the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) reduced it to two Tests, three ODIs and three T20Is. This was because of Bangladesh's preparation for the Asia Cup tournament.[5] The Tests were moved from their originally scheduled dates in January 2015 and were brought forward to November 2015.[6] Zimbabwe were going to play the two Tests in Bangladesh, before returning in January 2016 to complete the limited-overs fixtures.[6]
However, on 16 October 2015, the BCB announced that the Tests would be substituted for limited-overs matches. These would consist of four to five matches and be completed by 22 November, when the Bangladesh Premier League starts.[1] The dates for the tour were confirmed by the BCB on 21 October 2015.[4]
Bangladesh won the ODI series 3–0 and the T20I series was drawn 1–1.

In January 2016 four more T20I matches were announced by the BCB, all to be played at the Sheikh Abu Naser Stadium, Khulna.[2] The series was drawn 2–2. The series was named the Walton T20 Cricket Series.[12] Zimbabwe's Hamilton Masakadza set a world record for the most runs scored in a T20I bilateral series, with a total of 222 across the four games.[13] Following the conclusion of the series, Elton Chigumbura stepped down as captain of the Zimbabwe team.[14]
Following the conclusion of the 2nd T20I, Mosaddek Hossain, Mohammad Shahid and Muktar Ali were added to Bangladesh's squad.[17] Mushfiqur Rahim was ruled out of the series after getting a hamstring injury during the first T20I and was replaced by Taskin Ahmed.[17]
