Pitch Report

The Harare Sports Club in Harare has a balanced track, which will have a slight inclination towards the batters in the first half of the game. However, the bowlers [mostly pacers] might get going here in the second innings. The average score here has been 137 runs while the average first-innings score is 146. So, the toss-winning skipper will look ahead to bat first to trouble the opponent with a tough run chase.

Richard Ngarava

ZIM | BOWL

Zimbabwe pacer Richard Ngarava went very expensive when he bowled in the first T20I, conceding 38 runs in his four overs, with an expensive economy rate of 9.50. He scalped 2 wickets but that couldn’t be quite effective due to the runs he conceded.

7

George Dockrell

IRE | ALL

Ireland all-rounder George Dockrell failed to score with the bat in the first T20I against Zimbabwe. He could score only 9 runs before getting dismissed. So, he can also be avoided while picking this game’s dream11 team.
