Getting bowled out again is not a good sign for our batting.

I think we'll lose the game, sadly.

I see our opening bowlers going for runs early on, and then we'll take a couple of wickets before the spinners come on. We'll dry the runs up, take some more wickets, but then we'll lose the plot and concede the game at the last hurdle. It'll be close, but I don't think we have enough runs. :ugeek:

In times like this you turn to the experts and the experts don’t paint a pretty picture. See screenshot

What's the bowling plan, guys? Do we open with spin from one end, preferably Chisoro?

I suspect that it's going to be a really close game. What I have noticed about this tournament that besides the West Indies maybe , all these teams are fragile once they lose about 4 wickets..not many of these teams bat deep. If Ervine had a good day it tells you that it's spinning. Chisoro in too says a lot. We also have the experience of a tight game already and the crowd. If we get them 3 down with 15 overs we will win I think. If they have a long partnership like they did against Afghanistan they will win.

I say Chisoro opens the bowling with Chatara.

One thing I know is that if we are to win, we are going to need one of our bowlers to go on a hot streak on the back of at least two quickish wickets.

Need one of those raza 3/28 type efforts or a cremer 4fa

Long story short, we need to bowl them out quickly.
