Zimbabwe v New Zealand – 3rd ODI – Toss Report
Having already won the One Day International (ODI) series against the Zimbabwean hosts, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 is set to retain its streak on wins as the tourists gear up to face the Rhodesians in today’s 3rd and final outing of the 3-match series, which will be staged at the Queens Sports Club, in Bulawayo, on October 25, 2011.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/LRPL-Taylor-c1849 led Kiwi squad has once again won the toss and will be batting first, hoping to make a good use of Bulawayo pitch conditions.
On the other hand, for the defeated Zimbabwean Skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BRM-Taylor-c1200, the match comes as a vital chance for his side to secure some footing at the ongoing competition, having already suffered two consecutive routs at the competition, and then a clean sweep at the opening Twenty20 (T20) stint from New Zealand’s ongoing tour of Zimbabwe.
Coming to the squads; http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Njabulo-Ncube-c79773.
As for the team’s top order, the usual players retain their spot, including http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Malcolm-Waller-c74039, followed by the middle order, and the eventual tail-enders.
The new comers, Mushangwe and Ncube, along with Ray Price, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/E-Chigumbura-c1411 will pile the remaining bowling arsenal.
On the other hand, the New Zealand roster will be made up of the talented top order, built on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JD-Ryder-c1679.
As for the middle order, Skipper Ross, along with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KS-Williamson-c1813 will have to star on for the team, in case of an early top order crumble.
However, in order for the Kiwis to retain their dominance over the Zimbabwean hosts, Skipper Ross will have to bank on the star players including McCullum, who has been performing exceptionally well with the bat, scoring a solid 87 on the team’s recent outing.
While under the batting department, much will be relied on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-John-McKay-c44446, who bagged a superb haul of 4 wickets during the second ODI match between the two sides at the Harare Sports Club.
