Great performances from Wellington and Chisoro if they keep this up Nyumbu and Cremer could find it difficult to make the team. I won't even mention PU.

ShareDon't like to count eggs before they hatch, but his may just be one of the biggest wins (by balls remaining) we've ever had. Current top 3 & RRR to beat:
202 balls Kenya 2002; RRR 7.47
122 balls West Indies 2003; RRR 4.25
92 balls Bangladesh 2009; RRR 3.52
full list

Interestingly Nigel Long is umpiring, bit odd the ICC would get such a high profile upper for this series .......

With Mtumbami that won't be possible. Maybe an 8 wicket victory.

If a wicket did fall I'd send in Mutombodzi in next give him some time in the middle ......

I'm stoked that the newbies have done the job today. Wellington, Jongwe and Chisoro with the ball and now Mutombodzi finishes in style with the bat. Well batted to Chamu as well, yet another 50 in his long run of form. May in continue

8 wickets and 160 balls remaining makes this our 2nd largest winning margin by balls remaining, I believe...

Very pleasing win. As jaybro said... no Taylor, Williams, Masakadza, Cremer, Chatara. So it's good to know that basically Zimbabwe A can smash Afghanistan; it puts a bit of breathing room between us and the associates.
Good for WM and Chisoro to get such good bowling figures. Hope they keep up the good work and maybe carry this form into Bangladesh and beyond.
Having said that, it's only one game in this series. Still 4 to go, let's not slip up. :mrgreen:

Playing with the ICC ranking predictor tells me we need to win 2 of the 5 games to keep 10th spot in the ODI rankings.

Yeah, what a convincing win! The Chisoro fairy tale continues. Just imagine if we had Wellington at the World Cup instead of...

Well done to the team. I kept an eye on the scorecard. Jongwe bowled well up front. Made things easy for the other bowlers.
When you're not that fit like Panyangara, being rested is the worst thing that can happen to you.
Wellington&Chisoro! Add Nyumbu and Mutombodzi. Mufudza did well against Afghanistan, he'll have a FC match to state his case. Bhasikoro and other wait in the wings. One wonders how on earth Cremer can get back in. He was very ordinary in ODIs. If he ws smart he'd decline a full franchise contract, and focus on T20s.
