TEAMS PREVIEW

Bulawayo Brave Jaguars Preview

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

There would be some cloud over Harare. The pitch will be a tough one to bat on. Batsmen will have to be cautious in their approach and play patiently. The average first-inning score in the first three games is just over 100 runs, and the team batting first would like to put up 130 runs.

BBJ vs CTSA Pitch Report

The wicket at Harare Sports Club is slow, which creates problems for the batsmen. The large outfield also makes it challenging. Most players are used to playing in smaller parks in this format. There is early assistance for the fast bowlers, and spinners have done well as the ball tends to stop on the batsmen, creating doubts in their minds.

Toss: To Bowl

The track is tricky to bat on with its slowness, which would make batting difficult against the slower bowlers. Batting won't be easy here at the start, and chasing the score puts the team at an advantage. The side winning the toss here would like to bowl first.
