Match Thread | Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh | Mirpur, Dhaka | 2020

Apparently our spinners are getting more turn than the Bangladesh guys. Just need a couple wickets to show for it, most likely from Raza but Ndlovu needs one or two at least.

I saw that analysis. 4 degrees vs 3.3. It doesn't look that way on TV.

Another demonstration of how and when to sweep. This time by Mominul, who practically never sweeps.

Can I have a link please?

Williams is a much better sweeper than Rahim.

That's funny.

You can't honestly disagree with that. Williams is a quality sweeper, can play the orthodox and the reverse. Rahim hardly ever uses the sweep shot.

Williams is hands down (along with Ervine) one of the best sweepers in the world

Williams is definitely one of the best when it comes to sweep. His background in Hockey also helps him probably. Ervine not at the same level for me. Mushfiq is also good, but that also is easier for him because of his short stature. Overall, I'd put Williams slightly ahead.

Fair points. But Mushfiq has swept the likes of Herath, Ashwin, Jadeja, and Murali on pitches that aid spin.

Mushy slog sweeps quite a bit in LOI cricket. But part of being a good sweeper is knowing when to use. Williams may have scored more runs from sweeping, but that might be cause he sweeps every third ball he faces from a spinner.

So they have managed to Score 239 runs in 3/4 of the day and they have lost 3 wickets,we basically gave away a flat batting track,the loss of Taylor ‘s wicket,Raza,and the selection of Maruma has put us on the back foot.

We definitely missing Williams

Tough day, as we expected with this attack

Tshuma looks ok which is a positive
