I would play
1-Chari
2-???
3-Musakanda
4-Ervine
5-Williams
6-Waller
7-PJ
8-Cremer
9-Tiripano
10-Vitori
11-Mumba

I honestly don't know if Panyangara and Chatara are fit enough to bowl 20-25 overs in an innings so I wouldn't play them. if they were fit enough they would have featured here. Vitori over Mpofu for me. this track is dead so people shouldn't read too much into the strike rates but the bowling averages matter to me.

as for who opens with Chari I think its going to depend on whether the selectors want an a part time bowler as well or if they will go for experience. I personally would move Raza up the order

This is generally the time when Zimbabwe players wilt when their backs are against the wall. Musakanda and Williams have showed a lot of gumption and grit to come back from 150+ deficit. For that alone I would have young musakanda in the team

It's a disgrace to ask Regis to play that low in the order when no. 5 was easily his in this lineup. He is someone who needs time to build an innings. But anyway, he had failed consistently of late. Even a 50 here could have brought him back to contention I think, because historically, Streak has been a big supporter of Regis and Mpofu.

I think Moor does need to keep with the form of regis and richmond so low.
