Zimbabwe have settled on Richmond Mutumbami at No.3 to follow Hamilton Masakadza and Sibanda. Their middle-order looks solid with Malcolm Waller, Sean Williams, Peter Moor and Elton Chigumbura all providing big-hitting options. Their puzzle comes in the bowling department where they will need to decide which of Tendai Chatara, Tendai Chisoro, Donald Tiripano, Tawanda Mupariwa or Tinashe Panyangara to play. Wellington Masakadza is likely take the specialist spinner's spot.

Zimbabwe (probable): 1 Hamilton Masakadza, 2 Vusi Sibanda, 3 Richmond Mutumbami (wk), 4 Malcolm Waller, 5 Sean Williams, 6 Peter Moor, 7 Elton Chigumbura, 8 Tendai Chatara, 9 Donald Tiripano, 10 Tawanda Mupariwa, 11 Wellington Masakadza

No no no! Chisoro with the new ball! Something different and less orthadox, like we did in the UAE. Sure he's not the finished article but against Hong Kong especially, I want to see him in the side. Wellington..is he ready yet

We really need to get the top three batsmen of HK cheaply, otherwise things can get pretty messy. Jamie, Campbell and Hyat are all good players. Not to forget they beat the strong Himachal team who we lost against few days ago. Wellington has looked economical, and tends to grab wickets here and there. Raza also should be on side as he can bat and bowl. I think Mupariwa and Wellington both can bat at the bottom.The following XI looks pretty impressive:

Vusi
Hami
Mutumbami
Waller
Williams
Raza
PJ
Mupariwa
Wellington
Tiripano
Chatara

Vusi
Hami
Richmond
Waller
Williams
Raza
Moor
Tiripano
Chatara
Panyangara
Chisoro

I'd go 3 seamers as we have Willy and Raza who can bowl spin ......
