Match starts at 8.15am UK time.

Hope to see some runs from Navqi and Welch. If Mangongo wants to reward good NPL performance stick Mathew Campbell and Musikewa in the squad

[Donald]

Victor chirwa, K long,Mackeka and Musikewa drafted into the squad.

As well as Alex faloa and Faraz Akram

I see SA measuring their run ups, we're probably batting first.
Wonder who won the toss?
I think it's always better to bowl first in Zim. Early spice in the wicket is a real thing.

Well if u want to reward NPL performances look no further than Clive Imbayago or Chiorah. I haven't seen him play but I think he'd struggle. Imbayago looks pretty good though.

Interesting that they call in K-Long, Musekiwa and Akram, but not Burl.
He's clearly really pissed on someone's battery.
It's becoming important to beat these guys.
Matt Campbell also is an ommission but I'm not sure how you pick guys who haven't played franchise yet.
I don't think you can go from Club to this.

I see Chirwa is in the squad. Really good bowler, but such a marginal action, supposedly rehabilitated but a slo mo would be good.
Usually you straighten the arm and you lose the X factor, which he absolutely had.

Bawa captain and wicket keeper

[Googly]

Bawa has never kept?
I doubt he's captain, untried at this level.
They've got Kaitano and Naqvi and Welch who know what they're doing.

[Donald]

No a mistake on cricinfo

Welch captain

[Googly]

Aah good. We've yet to see him captain. New ideas, let's see.
