Zimbabwe

235/3(41.4 Overs)

All to play for then in the second half, Zimbabwe will back themselves to chase this down despite there being turn on this wicket. Netherlands on the other hand, will have to bowl if they are to defend this. Join us for the chase in a bit.

For Zimbabwe, it is the spinners who did the trick. The likes of Sikandar Raza, Sean Williams and Wesley Madhevere were really good. Blessing Muzarabani bowled just the 6 overs but he impressed in those 6. Overall, Zimbabwe will be very pleased with how they bowled but not pleased with how they fielded. Had they been better on the field, Netherlands might have not got to the 200-run mark too. Still though, they will feel they are in a good position in this game.

That is a really good bowling performance from Zimbabwe! You can see they walk off the field with happy faces and rightly so. 232 is a score they will back themselves to chase. Also, after the start Netherlands got off too, the hosts pulled things back really well. After electing to bat, Max O'Dowd and Vikramjit Singh got their side off to a really good start. The two added over 50 but both fell in quick succession. Then there were a couple of other stands and a few batters got off to starts but

TOSS - Netherlands have won the toss and OPTED TO BAT!

All to play for then in the second half, Zimbabwe will back themselves to chase this down despite there being turn on this wicket. Netherlands on the other hand, will have to bowl if they are to defend this. Join us for the chase in a bit.

For Zimbabwe, it is the spinners who did the trick. The likes of Sikandar Raza, Sean Williams and Wesley Madhevere were really good. Blessing Muzarabani bowled just the 6 overs but he impressed in those 6. Overall, Zimbabwe will be very pleased with how they bowled but not pleased with how they fielded. Had they been better on the field, Netherlands might have not got to the 200-run mark too. Still though, they will feel they are in a good position in this game.

That is a really good bowling performance from Zimbabwe! You can see they walk off the field with happy faces and rightly so. 232 is a score they will back themselves to chase. Also, after the start Netherlands got off too, the hosts pulled things back really well. After electing to bat, Max O'Dowd and Vikramjit Singh got their side off to a really good start. The two added over 50 but both fell in quick succession. Then there were a couple of other stands and a few batters got off to starts but
