Zimbabwe Vs United States | ICC CWC Qualifier | 26 June 2023

I understand that points wise, the USA game is meaningless.
But what about NRR?
I have a feeling that will be important later on.

Dave said in the press conference that he will be looking to use the rest of the squad.

Mandade and Ervine are deffo out, imagine that Chatara will also be rested. Marumani, Kaia, Evans and Jongwe all likely to play.

Do you have a link to the press conference?

NRR is also only from the games against WI and Ned right? Not sure

If that’s the case I’ll honestly rest as many as possible.
Ngarava, Blessing, Ervine, Williams and Raza.
One will need to play so maybe Raza.

I read today that the NRR is only counted from games against Super 6 qualified teams ie WI & NED

This is good for Zimbabwe as WI had a better NRR v Nepal

Pretty keen to see Ali Khan bowl today, big wraps on him but I've never actually seen him bowl.

Big game for Wes Madhevere, when you're struggling for runs you really need to make sure you score the 'easy runs' when they are on offer. Although international runs are never easy, there are occasions where they are easier to score than others. He's already missed out on flat tracks v Nepal & Holland, so he can't afford another miss.

I do think it is important we win. A winning team makes a habit of winning.

Yeah, I don't want to gift the USA a victory over us

[jaybro]

USA win the toss, Zimbabwe batting first

Kaia
Gumbie
Madhevere
Williams
Raza
Burl
Marumani
Jongwe
Evans
Wellington
Ngarava

Big chance for one of the top 3 to make a big score, no Ali Khan for the Americans so I’m not sure how strong the rest of their bowling lineup is.

No Kyle Philip either, his action got cited earlier on in the tournament so a fairly second string pace attack
