Pitch Report

The spinners had a major say in the previous game with the likes of Milton Shumba and Bernard Scholtz impressing in the middle overs. A similar sort of pitch is expected, with batters having to work hard for their runs. The bowlers might not get much movement early on, allowing batters to maximize the powerplay restrictions. As the match progresses, a change of pace should be the norm, with the spinners likely to play a big role once again. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 150-160 being a good total in Bulawayo.

Today’s ZIM vs NAM Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeepers

Regis Chakabva: Regis Chakabva has been one of the better players for Zimbabwe in white-ball cricket over the last year or so. He has been brilliant in the powerplay phase, taking on the pacers with aplomb. The Zimbabwean will be keen to continue his bright form, making him one to watch out for in this game.

Batters

Gerhard Erasmus: Gerhard Erasmus is Namibia's best batter, capable of playing both pace and spin equally well. Although his bowling prowess has taken a backseat in previous years, Erasmus's batting alone should earn him a spot in your ZIM vs NAM Dream11 fantasy team.

All-rounders

Sikandar Raza: Sikandar Raza was one of the top performers for Zimbabwe XI against South Africa A earlier in the month, coming up with valuable contributions with both the bat and ball. The Zimbabwean has the experience and skill-set to excel against the Namibians, making him a must-have in your ZIM vs NAM Dream11 fantasy team.

Bowlers

Bernard Scholtz: Bernard Scholtz was Namibia's best bowler in the previous game, picking up a few wickets whilst conceding just 19 runs in his four overs. The left-arm spinner should enjoy the conditions at the Queens Club and given his form, he can be backed to sustain his form.
