We can’t even think about winning or drawing if we put up less than 300.

Ya, we could well be spun to hell in the 2nd dig

Where do our wickets come from when BD bat?

Tiripano - 1
Nyauchi - 2
Ndlovu - 0
Tshuma - 2
Raza - 3

Fair?

Where do the other 2 come from?

[TapsC]

I don't think this will be a high scoring game. That pitch is not going to behave for more than 2 and a half days

Just really poor that Maruma has been selected again, there’s far more deserving players.

I think Ndlovu will do OK. He was nervous against Sri Lanka, I am sure he would of thought about the right pace to bowl at.

Looked bang average to me zimfan. He was bowling darts, and did t even begin to attempt to flight the ball.

Raza is going to have fun in the Bangladesh innings methinks. Can see him picking up some wickets. The wicket has been assisting

[Bangladeshi_Fan]

Zimbabwe were 100/1 and then they collapsed a bit.

Bangladesh pulled things back. I think Zimbabwe need at least 300-350 here.

We really need to polish the tail off by lunch at the latest. Chakabva and Tiripano will most likely stonewall. So if we bowl another 30 overs, ZIM will likely only score a maximum of 60 runs which takes them to 290 odd. We don't want to bowl that long. We'd like to keep ZIM to 250-260, but as of right now, with 2 recognized batsmen left, 300 is still on the cards. From 118-1 to keep the total to around 300 is still a good effort.

I hope Mominul gives both the seamers 5 over spells to start the day before bringing Nayeem on.

Looks like captain Mominul doesn't believe in using part timers haha.
