Zimbabwe Domestic T20 2019, Match 12: Mashonaland Eagles vs Mid West Rhinos: Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update

Mashonaland Eagles and Mid West Rhinos will face off in the final round-robin game of the Zimbabwe Domestic T20 2019. Ahead of the last set of games, the Eagles and Rhinos are placed at 3rd and 4th in the points table. Both the teams won two games apiece but Eagles have two more points due to the washed out game against Mountaineers. In the morning fixture on Saturday, the Matabeleland Tuskers will take on Mountaineers.

The result of that game is crucial for both Eagles and the Rhinos. Both the teams would be rooting for a Mountaineers defeat and in that case, the game between Eagles and Rhinos will be a virtual semi-final. If the Mountaineers defeat the Tuskers, the Rhinos will be out of the final contention. Eagles will need a bonus point victory, in this case, to finish ahead of the Tuskers’ 14 points.
