Pitch Report

Batters are more likely to enjoy their time at the Achimota Senior Secondary School A Field. Bowlers will have less assistance on this surface, and spinners will be more effective than pace bowlers. Most of the matches played here are won by the team batting first, so the captain who wins the toss might choose to bat first.

Player Picks

C

Clive Madande ZIM | WK

Clive Madande is the highest run-scorer for Zimbabwe and fourth overall in the tournament so far. The wicketkeeper-batter has scored 74 runs at an average of 74 and a strike rate of 129.63 from two matches.

9
C

Brian Bennett ZIM | ALL

Bennett has been impressive at this venue for Zimbabwe so far, scoring 65 runs at an average of 32.50 and a healthy strike rate of 151.16, including a half-century.

8.5

Joshua Asia NIG | BOWL

The only bowler from the Nigerian team to feature in the list of top 15 wicket-takers. The 17-year-old, ranked eighth, has taken four wickets in two matches at an economy of just four.

8.5

Tashinga Musekiwa ZIM | BAT

Tashinga Musekiwa is the backbone of the Zimbabwe bowling unit and is currently the fourth leading wicket taker in the tournament. The all-rounder has taken five wickets at an economy rate of 4.88.

9.5

Johnathan Campbell ZIM | ALL

The left-handed batter has scored 50 runs at an average of 25 and a strike rate of 125 in two matches. Campbell is likely to continue his fine form in the upcoming match as well.

8

Wallace Mubaiwa ZIM | BOWL

Wallace Mubaiwa has taken three wickets in the series so far at an average of 12.67 and an impressive economy of 4.75. He can also chip in with some handy cameos in the lower middle-order.

Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team

8

Tadiwanashe Marumani

ZIM | BAT

The Zimbabwe opener struggled to find runs in both matches of the series opener as he was dismissed for single-digit scores. Picking him on your fantasy teams could negatively affect your chances of winning the contest.

9.5

Peter Aho

NIG | ALL

Peter Aho was very expensive in his last match, conceding 18 runs in his only over. He was taken off the attack after getting hammered. There is no assurance that Aho can turn the tables in the upcoming match.
