• Captaincy: Sikandar Raza has been decent as captain. He is contributing in both departments and also has taken some good decisions.
• Batting Strength: On paper, Zimbabwe are looking very strong because of the depth they have, as Ryan Burl is batting down the order. It is just about clicking at the right time.
