Preview
Zimbabwe will clash with West Indies in the first fixture of the two-test match series starting February 4 at Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo. It will be the first-ever red-ball match for the Chevrons after July 2021, when they lost by 220 runs to Bangladesh. Craig Ervine will lead the side, which will miss the services of their top players like Sikandar Raza and Ryan Burl. However, the county experience of Gary Ballance will be handy for the side.
West Indies, on the other hand, have a strong squad under the captaincy of Kraigg Brathwaite. The likes of Kyle Mayers and Jason Holder will play a key role for the team. They had a good outing in the practice game and would look to continue the same form.

Craig Ervine ZIM | BAT
Ervine would look to make full use of the experience gained over the years to counter Caribbean challenge. He has 1,208 runs at an average of 35.52 in 18 Test matches, with a top score of 160.
Kyle Mayers WI | ALL
The left-handed batter has been sensational with his form of late across all formats. He has 828 runs and 27 wickets in 14 red-ball appearances for West Indies.

Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team
Tanunurwa Makoni
ZIM | BAT
Makoni, the emerging youngster could not display his brilliance in the practice game, wherein he scored only 13 off 40 balls.
Nkrumah Bonner
WI | BAT
The experienced batter Bonner failed on both occasions in the practice games, accounting for scores of 3 and 13 and can be avoided for this game.
