Preview

Zimbabwe will be up against Tanzania in the 5th match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier 2023 at the United Cricket Club Ground in Windhoek on November 23. Both these teams have played one match so far in the tournament, which they both have lost and occupy sixth and fifth place in the rankings, respectively.

Zimbabwe squared off against Namibia in their last match, where Namibia won the toss and elected to bowl. On an excellent deck to bat on, Zimbabwe did not start as they would have wished for. They lost three wickets within three overs, which pushed them back in the match. They were somehow able to post a total of 132 runs on the board. Comparative to their opponents, Namibia was sensational in their start as they had an opening stand of 88 runs. The chase was just a formality then, which was soon completed as they won by seven wickets.

Tanzania had played against Uganda in their last encounter, where Uganda won the toss and elected to bowl. Being put to bat, Tanzania was really slow and sloppy on the pitch from the start. They were unable to find boundaries or even rotate strikes and kept losing wickets. They did play their quota of 20 overs but were only able to score 99 runs. Uganda also started slowly but since the target was not too huge, they could take their time. They had an unbeaten stand of 74 runs for the third wicket, which proved to be a match-winning one for them as they won the game by eight wickets.

Pitch Report

The track at the United Cricket Club Ground is quite equally helpful to batters as well as bowlers in nature. With good seam and swing movement off the deck, pacers are expected to do well here. Batters, once settled, can look to score big. Teams prefer to chase the total after winning the toss, with the average first innings score being 138.

Player Picks

8.5
C

Akhil Anil TZN | BAT

Akhil has the capability to win matches for his team with the bat as well as the ball. He scored 16 runs and took a wicket in the last game and can make a good leader.

8.5
C

Craig Ervine ZIM | BAT

In the last match, where almost all other batters from his team failed, Craig scored 36 runs off 33 balls. He could be a good pick for captaincy roles.

6.5

Wellington Masakadza ZIM | BOWL

Wellington is someone who bowls well and contributes with some important runs by the bat as well. He has amassed one wicket and 11 runs so far.

8.5

Sikandar Raza ZIM | ALL

Sikandar played a sensible innings in the last match where all others around him were failing. Being a big-match player, however, he would be expected to play an even better innings in the coming games.

9

Ryan Burl ZIM | ALL

Ryan scored 27 runs off 25 balls in the last match, where he struck a boundary and a six each. He remained unbeaten in the previous game and could be a useful pick.

9

Harsheed Chohan TZN | BOWL

Harsheed bowled well to take one wicket in his three overs, where he spent just 16 runs. He scored five runs with the bat as well and returned back to the dugout unbeaten.

Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team

8.5

Carl Mumba

ZIM | BOWL

Carl was expensive with the ball and could only score five runs with the bat. He can be excluded from your fantasy team.

8

Clive Madande

ZIM | WK

Clive could only contribute five runs to the team in the last match and can be left out of your fantasy side.
