5) W Madhevere
6) S Raza
7) R Burl
8) W Masakadza

I do really fancy a very great opportunity for the boys to win the series, this Sri Lanka team on paper looks way more than a beatable team. Massive lack in experience plus majority of their seasoned campaigners like Kusal Perera, Hasaranga, DJ Silva and Kumara all are missing either due to fitness issue or Covid sickness. Let me take you guys back to that 2017 tour, during that series, Asela Gunaratne was in form of his life, scoring heavy runs in the shorter formats and finishing games, what a shame that he lost his way after a couple injuries, Mathews was fit and performing, and Malinga was slinging as viciously as he had ever been and the offie Akila Danajaya was in top form. A series win here against Sri Lanka, and at home, Zimbabwe have every chance to beat Afghanistan if they could curate a pitch that will not become Rashid Khan and co's den. And then the Netherlands series, again more than possible to pull off another series win. Then a win here or there against other teams that Zimbabwe are going to play as part of ODI WSL.

In 2017 series Streak had a plan, Mire used to bat aggressively at the top as a result run rate after powerplay used to be 5 or 6@ over that made the middle order to play freely without taking any risk. Williams & Raza was in top form followed by experience of Malcolm Waller. In bowling, Cremer was unplayble for Sri Lankan batters in some of the game. Pressure given by him kept Raza & Williams among wickets throughout the series

Fate of the series will be decided on how Zim batters handle mystery of Maheesh Theekshana, Ranesh Mendis & Praveen Jayawickrama. All these three are among wickets and have done well recently. Jeffrey Vandersay the leggie, has also been given another to go revive his career

I wonder whether they will give Kaitano a debut or stick Wes up there to make space for Shumba. Interesting to see what they decide
