You can argue the need for a no-excuse win tonight, but I'm trying to think of this series in the broader picture of trials/training for the Qualifiers. I'd be disappointed if we didn't have a full squad tonight, but no need to risk injuries for the real deal at the end of November. News on an XI?

Welch, Kaia, Ervine, Raza, Burl, Madhevere, Madande, Jongwe, Ndlovu, Ngarava, Chatara

Probably the strongest team we could put out with the squad we've got. Don't understand why Williams was named if he's not even travelling to Namibia.

Ngarava will sort out the namibians 😃

How I wish the equally excellent muzarabani was there too

The difference between our front line peak bowlers vs our second string is huge.

Honestly I would rather go in with the younger guns instead of Chatara or Mumba. We all saw how blessing and richie developed with time. It was a steady progression which happened following their integration into the national setup at a young age.

Probably an actually brilliant over from Chatara after a year, five of the six balls absolutely on point.

Why the hell did they take chatara off. Pitch is assisting fasties

Told you ngarava would sort them out. Head and shoulders above mumba and akram and not just physically 🤣

I'm not watching live but from what you guys are saying it looks like spin isn't the way to go. Why aren't we trying Jongwe, the pressure is being let loose.
