Guess we need to be staring down the barrel to get a performance out of the boys :lol: phenomenally disciplined bowling only conceding one wide in 21 overs.

Would have been few more wides if their batters had not kept on nicking balls down leg to Marumani :lol:

Pakistan recently beat Australia in Australia in an ODI series so Zimbabwe could lay claim to being superior to Australia now. Although given Australia's efforts in Perth it might be a good time to arrange a test match against them!

Some good highlights from today. Marumani took 3 excellent catches, dropped one dolly and put down a tough chance.

Anyone know how many MOTM awards Raza has won playing for Zim over the past three years? It must be a ridiculous number.

Does Zim ever win when it’s a high scoring game or only when they can bowl a team out cheaply?

I don't understand the wicket-keeping situation. Why did Marumani have the gloves? He's not bad, and clearly he took a couple of good catches today, but Gumbie is unquestionably a better wicketkeeper. They both open the batting so that isn't an explanation either. Was Gumbie injured or something? makes no sense.

Two bites of the cherry to wrap up the series starting Tuesday. Great win today.

Maybe rotating the keepers or trying to save Gumbie for the test
