We need to beat South Africa. It's been too long.
Who you got in your XI? Mine 👇
Curran, Bennett, Kaia, Raza (c), Wes, Burl, Maru(wk), Evans, Masakadza/Matigimu, Newman, Muzarabani
If Newman is fit, he comes back. Masakadza doesn't add much, but I wouldn't mind if he played ahead of Gimu who seems to struggle against SA.

Four seamers? Raz has preferred spin all tournament. I’d drop masakadza and get and extra batter in. Guess that would be Myers or Tsiga from what I remember of the squad.

Makes sense. Wes has outperformed Welly with the ball so far, so why not bring in an extra batter?
Anyway, they decided to go with 4 seamers. Newman is back in place of Masakadza.
Zimbabwe: Brian Bennett, Ben Curran, Innocent Kaia, Sikandar Raza (c), Ryan Burl, Wessly Madhevere, Tadiwanashe Marumani (wk), Brad Evans, Newman Nyamhuri, Kundai Matigimu, Blessing Muzarabani
South Africa: Connor Esterhuizen (wk), Jordan Hermann, Dewald Brevis, Tony de Zorzi, Rubin Hermann, Eathan Bosch, Duan Jansen, Bjorn Fortuin (c), Prenelan Subrayen, Nqobani Mokoena, Kwena Maphaka
SA won the toss and elected to bat first.

I understand why Muzarabani took the Kolpak deal when he still could

The difference between middle over Raza bowling vs Powerplay Raza bowling is night and day

Exactly! He leaks runs in the powerplay and doesn't look threatening at all.

As we praise him, he bowls a 17 run over

Saffas are playing a very long tail, a wicket here and you are into the bowling allrounders

I should shut up 😂
SA have been going at 10 an over from the first over.

Haha! Wanted to say something positive about Blessing, but I guess I'll have to say it after the game.

Zimbabwe have never chased a 200+ score against a full member.

I have a feeling Namibia would have chased this down

ShareThe second Wes walks in, they're gonna be bowling the short ball now. Similar dismissals for about 3 games in a row
