Let's just get this game out of the way. Aus ODIs are more important imo.

I would suggest dropping Welly and bringing in another batter but the options are Myers or Tsiga.

Wes can easily be the spin option.
Think we'll go with an unchanged XI.

Don't see much reason to change either, the batsmen need to stop chucking their wickets away

I hope Blessing doesn't pick up a niggle himself. Need him for Aus.

Fielding first.

Zimbabwe:
Brian Bennett, Ben Curran, Innocent Kaia, Wessly Madhevere, Sikandar Raza (c), Ryan Burl, Tadiwanashe Marumani (wk), Brad Evans, Wellington Masakadza, Blessing Muzarabani, Kundai Matigimu

Namibia:
Louren Steenkamp, Jan Frylinck, Gerhard Erasmus (c), Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton, JJ Smit, Ruben Trumpelmann, Zane Green (wk), Alexander Volschenk, Jan Balt, Jack Brassell, Max Heingo

Think we've miscalculated by bowling first. We simply cannot chase

Good start with the ball and great catch in the wind.

Great start with the ball. Haven't watched any of the action but it looks like the boys are keeping things tight.

Maru seems to have been keeping well this series.

He gets some good bounce Matiguma.
Looks like fielding first was the right call.

Is there any reason why Raza is holding Wes back? Why give Burl an over instead of bringing Wes on?

He has. He took a blinder the other day and has been very tidy.

Evans gets one! That partnership was looking threatening.

I'm happy with 156. Need a strong start with the bat.

Took the foot off the pedal, 100 in the next 10 overs

Kaia has pretty much grabbed that number 3 spot from Myers. A number 3 who can hit boundaries makes a huge difference.

Trigger has done alright for someone who doesn't think of himself as a T20 player.
