In fairness he's bowled two excellent deliveries there. He's a class act this guy. Shame we've not really put a performance on for the crowd

In my mind I have been thinking the ultimate tournament would be lose today, beat Scotland and then win the final with us winning the toss in Harare. Hopefully it works out that way. We were never going to win every game. In fact all of us would have taken having to beat Scotland to qualify if somebody offered us that deal a month ago.

Sri Lanka have a serious attack.

We have to revenge a loss here with a win in the final. Zimbabwe must win against Scotland first though.

Really smart captaincy by Shanaka, he didn’t waste his overs from Hasaranga or Teekshana when Williams & Raza were going well. He gambled that one of his part timers could break the partnership, and he was in the fact the bowler who got Raza.

Now he’s got lots of overs from his two stroke bowlers to rattle through the rest of the Zimbabwe order, Teekshana aka ready for Burl.

Going to need career scores from Jongwe, Wello, Evans and maybe Ngarava to get to a decent score. Which is highly unlikely against this caliber of spinners.

Have to play this guy like a seamer. Why the fuck are they not being told that????

[Googly]

If Evans sweeps this guy I'm going to head butt furniture

[Googly]

3 soft dismissals, Williams Burl and Jongwe. Ball is just coming straight on

[Crastle_cog]

Drop score predictions then

The ZIM guys have always been compulsive sweepers. The exceptions might be Raza and Madhevere who are both compulsive pullers.

[Googly]

Evans is a good player of spin, if he puts the sweep away
