So it's time for the last one of the series already, a 4-1 result would be good for confidence before the squad step onto the plane to Bangladesh, the other confidence building factor of course, would be if Tatenda Taibu kept his kit on the seat next to him ;)

Personally i expect Malcolm Waller to be the man to drop out of the 16 to finalise the squad for Bangladesh, on that basis i don't think he should be playing tomorrow, Charles Coventry should be playing for some much needed practice and so, i feel, should both Trevor Garwe and Christopher Mpofu.

We won the toss guys and batting first.
i agree with the changes expected above- all 3 CC, TG and CM should play.

Mutizwa opening, that means Vermeulen is rested probably.

Team balance looks nice to me. 3 specialist spinners, 2 genuine pacers in Garwe and Mpofu. Waller, Covy retained and 2 explosive openers at top. not to forget experienced Taylor and Matsi in middle order.
