Match Details:
The 6th T20 game in Tanzania tour of Zimbabwe will be played between Mid West Rhinos and Tanzania at the Kwekwe Sports Club.
The match starts at 9:00 AM local time (12:30 PM IST) (7:00 AM GMT).
Preview:
Tanzania hasn’t got success on the Zimbabwe tour except for a 4-run win on the first day of the T20 series against the Mid West Rhinos. The home team have taken a 4-1 lead in the 6-match T20 series that concludes on Friday. The presence of International stars seems to be helping the Mid West Rhinos in keeping down Tanzania to subsequent total and chase it down comfortably. The last three games of this series have been won while chasing by the Rhinos. This series is set to be completed despite the Coronavirus threat that has suspended all cricket in both Tanzania and Zimbabwe.
Weather Condition/Report:
The Kwekwe Sports Club will face rain on Friday and is likely to cause interruptions from the halfway stage of the match.
Pitch Condition/Report:
The track at the Kwekwe Sports Club is gradually improving for the batting as targets of 150+ getting chased down from totals of 130 being defended on the first day of the series. If the rain does not intervene, we could well witness a high-scoring match concluding Tanzania’s tour of Zimbabwe. Even the targets of 160+ could be seen chased down in such conditions.
Average first innings score: 140 (This T20 series)
Record of chasing teams: Won – 3, Lost – 2

Expert Advice:
With more than 11 players can take the field in every match, the bowling options used by both the teams have been random. It has become quite tough to predict which bowler will be used in a certain match. Also, the line-ups after the toss are mostly irrelevant as this is Other T20 (More than 11 players can feature for a team) but bowlers can be picked from them as it is a risky category already.
Probable Winners:
The Mid West Rhinos are likely to register their 4th successive win of the T20 series.
