Best Zimbabwe T20 Playing XI against Afghans

1) Solomon Mire
2) Tendai Chisoro (Chephis)
3) Hamilton Masakadza
4) Sikandar Raza
5)Peter Moor
6)Malcolm Waller
7) Brendan Taylor (wk)
8)Ryan Butl
9)Graeme Cremer
10)Kyle Jarvis
11) Tendai Chatara
Chisoro to open hey. Bold move. The Bully in place of him and that's the XI
Scores like 30 from 18 will be great from Chisoro, he has the capability of hitting, needs to be promoted. No news on Zhuwao, regarding selection for Afghan tour.

Doubt he'll be in the mixer, although he should be.

I'd love to see 5-0 from the Afghan boys, but if history tells us anything, it is going to be 3-2 to the Afghans who will once again fail to score 300 in any innings no matter how flat the pitch or how loose the bowling. But the bowling looks very strong especially with Mujeeb's mystery spin.

Given that I wasn't even aware of this series two weeks ago :oops: I'll not risk a prediction. But why on earth are we playing T20s at this particular stage when we are not playing any T20s at any other time of the year?

T20s are useful practice for ODI batting and bowling, particularly when needing to hit 50 off 30 or defending 8 off the final over.

I wonder if they will show Khan’s real age on the stat sheet?
Hahahaha couldn’t agree more googly , my father and I were watching the big bash and pissing ourselves how they listed him as “ 19” Afghanistan must be a rough country as he has aged terribly if that’s the case .

Growing up in a war torn country can cause children to physically age quicker, but yes I agree some of these Afghanistan players look a lot older than what they’re saying

Aren't we hosting a T20I tri-series with Australia and Pakistan in June? Either way, the more games the better no matter the format. Remember, there was supposed to be Tests as part of this tour, which thanks to Zimbabwe, won't be happening.

Finally you are visible :). Was too much confident / Over Confident about Bangladesh winning the tri nation series :) . Was giving no chance to Sri Lanka owing to their worst performance against India and Pakistan

Bangladesh considers themselves too much talented by " mouth" and always considers themselves equivalent to India/Pakistan instead of doing the work :)
Robo to rule :oops:
