Too straight from Evans. Releasing pressure.

This game is not over. Newman is having one heck of a game!

GONE! Evans
What a bowling performance

Excellent stuff from all seamers.

Each of the bowlers have been great with few minor mistakes but really impressive. Newman has improved leaps and bounds, I guess the coaching staff was right in picking him so early.

I am really delighted seeing the Richie's captaincy, really proactive though the surface today was helpful but still good seeing cycling through his bowlers and keeping the pressure. Some other might have been enticed to bring on the spinner but he persisted with the seamers

Can't believe my eyes! When did Zimbabwe get this good?

Agreed. Richie's captaincy has been excellent so far.

That should be the match? Though that was very casual by Kaia

Muzarabani is done for the day, 9 more overs left to win the game.

Wouldn't be Zimbabwe if they didn't drop a few

We had no business winning that game.

YESSSSSSS!! WHAT A WIN, WHAT A CAPTAINCY DEBUT FOR RICHIE.

Fitting that it's Richard Ngarva who takes final wicket, POTM performance. There was some doubt whether he'd be good captain well he has silenced it for today

Wow, I’ve been driving all morning and figured Zimbabwe were headed for a heavy defeat. What a surprise to see this victory. We really seem to have a psychological edge over this current Bangladesh team.

I have just been peeking into the scores once in a few hours. That's all that is possible as of now. We seem to be making this a habit - defending low scores. Just going by the scorecard - it does indeed look like the killer instinct by the new skipper - not even thinking about the 5th bowler and finishing things off. Exactly how it is done in such games.

Wow. Went to bed when we were like 98/8 thinking this was all Bangladesh. How on earth did we win that?

On a side note, can we switch kit suppliers. Ihsan are producing some absolute dross

This bowling unit is working very nicely together and complimenting one another nicely.

I don't think Ihsan even makes the kits? All of them are made by an Indian company called Omtex but for whatever reason have Ihsan's branding on them. We must be the only full member team who don't have a dedicated website to buy kits from.

Yeah. The only way to buy them is from the shop in Zim. Whilst still on the kits, anyone noticed how terrible the Zim bird looks? It's got fingers, biceps and pecs. How is no one at ZC seeing this and making a bigger deal of this. Even associate sides have a proper kit supplier that does better kits.
