Zimbabwe Vs West Indies | T20WC2022 | Match Thread

[tgk]

I see no reason to change anything. Pacers all looked good, Jongwe contributed with the bat and he got a bit unlucky while bowling. Chakabva, Ervine and Williams are undroppable. Raza, no need to say anything about the king. Madhevere, Shumba and Burl, they offer us options for spin, plus realistically who'd come in? Munyonga for Burl? Evans would feel very unlucky to stay in the sidelines but unless Jongwe has a total mare today, there's no reason to drop anyone for Evans.

If you have the three seamers and Jongwe, then you're not throwing the ball to Burl, Wes, or Shumba. Burl perhaps, but the other two definitely not. So I wouldn't see them as spin options. They need to contribute with the bat because that's what they are picked for. We can't rely on trying to restrict other teams or having one guy perform with the bat.

I also don't think Chakabva is undroppable. He is only undroppable in the sense of experience and Munyonga is the only other keeper we have, but he needs to contribute runs too and consistently enough.

Yeah in this current squad there's nobody to replace Regis. Besides I'm sure he'll come good with a good couple knocks this tournament. I see your point about Wes and Milton having to contribute with the bat. Maybe Munyonga in for one of the three to try and get a big hitter in the XI makes sense.

Interesting to see how we adjust to having to chase. Need our bowlers to be on point

[tgk]

Chakabva as captain works well, I have a sneaky feeling he'll come good with the responsibility today. Fingers crossed we pull it off today, massive massive game.
