Expectation: With temperatures in the mid-30s, Bulawayo is considered as a muggy, hot and hazy. Actually, the summer rains can affect the match in a couple of weeks away, so the roasting heat will be consecutively displayed in this Test match.
There can a small sprinkle of rain in the first afternoon, but otherwise, the forecast for the match is looking perfect.
The Queens pitch is actually looking fairly dry, and both captains are expected to appear as a show stealer in the field of the match.
The team West Indies is anticipated and it looks like the seamers to gain some reverse swing. Spin is obviously going to play an important role in this game too.
Team News:
Zimbabwe
With Jarvis back and Taylor, and Solomon Mire add some glitter to the Test frame match, and the country Zimbabwe also welcome the selection of the perfect team which is going to make the batting probably flawless.
Nos 3 to 6 pick themselves, and Regis Chakabva is expected to keep the wicket well, and it will leave a perfect place for Mire, Peter Moor or Malcolm Waller.
Mire is seemed to crack the nod in the opening position. Both captains in hope that the pitch will be dry so the match will be completed, so Tendai Chisoro is hopefully going to support Graeme Cremer and this will be reflected in the spin department.
