The pre toss squads are on cricinfo, interesting that the Zim squad is actually 14 with Steven Nyamuzinga as the extra player.

Well, Zim have won the toss and elected to field first.

Always a great disagreement in 20/20 about fielding or batting first, in my opinion it's got to be a lot easier to bat under the floodlights than field, so Utseya get's the nod from me.

cricinfo are showing the team as Chibhabha, Chigumbura, Masakadza, Matsikenyeri, Nyamuzinga, Mupariwa, Muzarabani, Price, Taibu, Taylor & Utseya. I think that means Chakabva, Dabengwa and Maruma are the men to miss out.

Chigumbura has bowled the 1st over for just 1 run, keep it up

[Train Driver]

cricinfo have a change to the Zim team, Dabengwa is now shown as playing rather than Muzarabani.

Latset score, Warriors 69-4 after 14 overs, a wicket each for Chigumbura and Price with 2 run outs. The run rate is only 4.92 at this stage, a very good effort so far.

Utseya, Price and Dabengwa are bowling brilliantly together strangling the Warriors, their run rate is below 5 brilliant stuff!

[Kopje]

Go Zimbo, i hope they restrict them to less than a 100 runs.

[zulu]

good effort from zim restricting warriors to 122-5. The spinners bowled well in paticular Dabengwa getting 1-20 in 4 overs thats outstanding, he is ideally suited to this format. 1 thing ill critisize is Utseyas captancy. I dont get it he bowls Chibahba (a bowler who generally gets smacked for plenty) at the death!? when theres Chigumbura and Mupariwa who still have overs left.

The boys should win this 1 eazy

[Train Driver]

I agree with you there Zulu, sometimes the decisions that Utseya makes with the bowling make me want to tear my hair out.

Mupariwa 2 overs for 8, Chigumbura 3 for 14, Chibhabha 3 for 27, Utseya 4 for 25, I just don't see it.

Meanwhile Zim are now 71-2 from 10, Chibhabha is making up for his bowling with 25* from 23.

52 to win in 10 overs, please don't blow it boys

[maehara]

Flying along nicely at the moment - shame Taibu's just gone, but still some decent batting left.
::crosses fingers::

It's turning into a real dogs dinner now, 91-7 after 15.5 overs.

Just Nyamuzinga, Utseya, Price & Mupariwa left to get 32 from 4.1 overs.
