Hope they select a better looking side for this one.
Batting line up looked a bit thin in the last game - if Raza hadn't fired then we'd have been in real trouble.
Hope Vitori gets a go - I'd like to see how he shapes up against Levi and Faf and Ingram.

A couple of changes in the side for todays match, Chigumbura gets a run out and a chance for Mutumbami to put pressure on Regis whilst Vitori comes back in.

Vitori gets the early breakthrough 26/1 need to get Levi out quickly

Not looking good. Both spinners struggled to keep it tight, then Shingi gets hit for two sixes off his first two balls. Mawoyo having to bring Vitori back on. Chigumbura might have to save us... :shock:

very very good comeback from Shingi after being spanked early in the game, two quick wickets from him

First Chatara gets Ontong, and then Shingi strikes twice in one over. SA are 190-7 after 38 overs ... It did look ugly earlier when Fav and Ingram were wheeling along ... would be a great effort to bowl them out now.

SA 215 all out -- that's a pretty impressive team bowling-performance.

Good all round bowling effort from Babwe.
Tidy stuff from the leg spinners. Nice to see some depth in the bowling department.
