Pitch report:
"We have had some really good matches played on this surface. It’s a huge ground, and the heavy roller has done exactly what it was meant to do, leaving the pitch very flat with whatever grass was there rolled in nicely. However, there are some dry patches with less grass, and we’ve seen turn here at Takashinga over the last few matches. We should definitely expect turn again today, as it’s been a feature throughout the tournament. It’s been challenging for the quicks with the new ball, and the key for the batters will be their skill in dealing with spin on what should be a true surface," reckon Andy Flower and Tino Mawoyo.
Simbarashe Mudzengerere: I'm happy to bat first, the wicket looks good. The second innings, the ball might bounce a little more. If we win this, it will be good. The crowd support gives us the confidence and it is a motivating factor for us. We have made one change today.
Farhan Yousaf: We will bowl first. There is some moisture on the pitch and also keeping the weather conditions on the mind. The focus is only on this game, I know we did well in the last game, but our focus is all about this game. Same team.
