Good points all round here, I agree with most that we need to bowl first and hopefully snag a couple of early wickets. I’d also be getting Wellington in early to bowl to Mayers, King & Charles who seem to struggle v spin.

Jongwe for Chatara and Kaia for Wes for me. I’d open with Kaia as I think he’s got the most potential to score with ease against these Windies pacers in the power play.

Kaia
Gumbie
Ervine
Williams
Raza
Burl
Madande
Jongwe

I'm not sure I'd move Ervine down, I think we need to keep him as an opener. A good opening stand is vital if we are chasing a 300+ total.

I want to leave Ervine opening. He's coming through with runs and it means everyone can find a slot in the middle order.

Massively excited and nervous for today's game. Even more than what I was for the first match . I just hope we win the toss that is going to be massive today. We can have jongwe/Evans for chatara . I personally won't drop madhevere as his off spin might come handy against pooran who struggles big time against off spin

One thing that might work in Zimbabwe's favor is that Hope and Pooran are due a failure. Law of averages may catch up with them

Having said that the same can be said about Ervine and Williams too... So it evens out.

Taking all your chances is the key... And hope WI miss a few.

I also hope we are able to field full strength . Somehow we miss one or two key players every third game due to injury or any other reason

Batting first ffs, I'd say we will need 350 today but surviving the first 10 overs with limited damage will be key
