Hami captains the side.
Team: V Sibanda, TMK Mawoyo, H Masakadza*, Sikandar Raza, MN Waller, R Mutumbami†, E Chigumbura, P Utseya, SW Masakadza, T Panyangara, TL Chatara.
The middle order looks very weak.
Not sure about bowling first with Ajmal and Rehman in the Pak side.

Bowling Pak out for under 500 and scoring 200+ in each innings would be a major achievement. I'd happily eat my words, though.

ZCFOutkast: "Maruma for Raza would've made more sense since he can bowl leg spin."
I see our old friend is still banging an old drum. Albeit one with a very slack, loose drumskin...

Well, the team looks pretty close to what brmtaylor.com admin had predicted. Probably no Mushangwe as they felt the team was already very low on experience and felt getting Utseya in. Vitori missing out is not a surprise too, with his fitness record. But how much better is Panyangara? Chinouya was probably a better choice, but time will tell.

Maruma's legspin is as old as ZC's financial woes...
