Just watched the highlights.

My feeling is that though the Zimbabwe seamers bowled well in patches ( especially muzarabani) they were quite excitable to see this green top and perhaps sprayed it around a bit at times. More logan Cup matches on these type of wickets will help them get the right channels and areas. Muzarabani used his county experience to bowl some super areas and can count himself unlucky not to get more wickets

We will probably lose but I think we will get a good game. Bangladesh will bat twice and I have a feeling if BT works on his bowling pairs Blessing still has something to say. He was creating an opportunity about every 10 balls.

I just feel like you cant bowl pairs like Shumba/kaia and Tiripano/Nyauchi. I would rather we do Blessing/Nyauchi , Ngarava/ Tiripano and then pair the spinners with either blessing or Ngarava

May Zim not be the typical Zim and allow these remaining 2 wickets to get BD to 400. at this stage I will take 320. I have a gut feeling one of the youngsters will come good and BT too. Not too sure we can get to 400 and get a lead, but surely we can get 300 this time around if we do not throw away our wickets as is usually the case. 70% of our dismissals are usually soft needless ones. Concentration must always be on.

Post 2004, Zimbabwe have only crossed 400 twice and never reached 450. Their highest against Bangladesh is 389 at this ground and 2nd best is 374 in Bangladesh.

No Bangladesh batsman has scored a century in Zimbabwe, however. Liton and Mushy have come close. Masakadza, Chakabva, Taylor, and Ervine have all scored centuries in Bangladesh.

Does not do for pleasant reading from a Zim point of view.

Yeah looks like it. That is the end of the match as a contest. We will be chasing the game now.

Disaster unfolding. That crucial innings by Liton Das yesterday infused some belief in them and we are now staring down the barrel. Mahmudullah is very good with the tail from what I remember.

Yeah Riyad is one of our best batting with the tail. And he actually is a master of letting the tailenders pull their share of the weight in a parternship.

This is the last partnership. Ebadat can't bat at all.
