Starts with a loopy delivery, full and around, Raza eases the drive to extra cover.
Drinks break! There was a forecast for rain around this time of the day, but thankfully, it hasn’t arrived yet. Let’s hope it stays that way. In any case, with 20 overs completed, we are guaranteed a result one way or the other. The required run rate isn’t an issue for the hosts at the moment, but it’s the wickets column that will be causing concern. With not much experience left in the shed, a lot will rest on the shoulders of this pair to take Zimbabwe anywhere close to the target. Faisal Akram to bowl after the break.
