A Mild and cloudy morning in Bulawayo today as Scotland battle Zim in a top of the table clash before going to the Super six stage.
A win here puts Zimbabwe in the drivers seat to a World Cup berth, it is a very crucial match, Scotland are playing out of their skin and an upset win here gives them a genuine shot at qualification themselves. I feel we are underestimating these guys a tad.
Match betting lists the below odds for a win;
Zimbabwe- 1.35
Scotland- 3.21
The experts give Zim a 2/3 chance of winning, which is about fair on home soil.
I really hope the vocal crowd come out in support today, because Scotland will be summoning the Highlanders and William Wallace to make this happen.
Get the Macleod dude out early and our odds will drastically shorten.
We really need 4 batsman out of the 7 to step up here for a win. 250+ if we bat first a must.
