The first game is probably our only shot at pulling off a surprise win.

Curran, Kaia, Ervine, Bennett, Wes, Raza, Maru, Evans, Nyamhuri, Cremer, Muzarabani

I missed the Marsh dismissal. We needed that.

I'm a bit worried about the middle overs. Wellington has been very poor lately.

Our seamers have been averaging at least one hit-me ball an over.

By the 13th over, 9% of deliveries have been wides.

Taylor can still move! Great catch!

Taylor or Leverock

f**k me.
Spinners bowling no balls is unforgivable.

Fantastic keeping by Taylor again.

Raza Strikes! Just when I thought they are back to their usual selves. Zimbabwe surprises me

Now if Wes is bowling now, why have we picked Welly.

I don't get why Matt Renshaw is batting this low. Shouldn't he be batting ahead of Josh Inglis?

Was about to ask the same question.

Is it really that hard for a spinner to land the front foot behind the line? Confused cricket-ball face

Complaining about his run up into the wind disrupting him 😂😂

Bennett before Welly.

And a left off straight away.

He's more of a batting allrounder these days, bowled a lot in Pakistan and Bangladesh. But I too agree he should batting ahead atleast Carey

If they had to bowl Bennett and Madhevere why even pick Masakadza
