I doubt Raza will be back. Don’t Raza and Blessing play for the Rocks? Don’t remember because they rarely play domestic these days
Nominally yes they ‘play’ for Rocks.

Both are in the PSL though

It wasn't a bad plan by Marumani trying to hit himself into form. Being positive can be a great mindset swing. However just hitting sixes rather than milking the singles will often result in players working you out which happened today. Appeared too one dimensional. Fun while it lasted mind.

Fun while it lasted is usually used in the context of 60 off 40 or something. 20 off 10 is fun while it lasted for a rank tailender like Ngarava for example. And that kinda shows the batting caliber of Marumani. You would think a talented player would at least score a half century against someone. If not against Sri Lanka, surely against a Scotland. If not against Scotland, then definitely against a division two county side.

Marumani has shown again and again that the stage is to big for him..
At least batting him 6th or 7th in the lineup is a start..
Burl might need to move to 3rd or 4th

Lineup
Klong/Matt Welch
Gumbie /innocent Kaia
Sean W
Burl
Raza
Craig
Marumani/ Madande wk
Bennet/ Jongwe
Wellington / Ndlovu
Ngarava
Blessing
That's the squad and the coaches look for the starting eleven
