In my opinion It should be Hamilton Mazakadza and Chamu Chibhaba. Chibhaba has proven that he's best suited against pace and Hammie is just a talented man. I don't think Taylor should open since his foot movement is poor at the start of his innings

For the T20 World cup it has to be Masa and Chibhabha, but it seems not to make a difference who opens these days we are just scoring poorly, I just look back when Robin Brown was in charge, with more or less the same side we were scoring 250+ whether it the opposition was Pakistan, SA or Bangladesh, now we havw gone backwards.
