Losing the toss in these early starts in Harare is usually a death sentence.
Not many jobs in world cricket harder than opening the batting at 9am in Harare.

Was thinking the same.
Maybe Munyonga instead of Jongwe might have been better, but hopefully Jongwe can take some wickets.

Only argument would be to play an extra bat instead of Jongwe, but then we’d be relying on 10 overs from both Mavuta and Chivanga and I don’t think we are at those levels of trust with them both yet!
So I agree, sensible lineup

Surely you don't play bowlers you don't trust to bowl 10 overs ? Sensible line up playing 5 batsman wow
