The first ODI was won by Zimbabwe after a disappointing batting performance by UAE. They batted first and got out for a paltry 110 runs to lose the match. But they had played well to win the Tour practice match.
Forecast and pitch
There are overcast conditions in Harare. The team batting second has won four out of six times at this venue. So the team winning the toss might look to field first.
“It’s a four-match series and we’ll bounce back strong,” UAE skipper Brown said ahead of the second ODI.
Brown said he expects that with two games they won, including a warm-up triumph over a Zimbabwe XI earlier to the first ODI, he thinks UAE will soak up the lessons learned in international conditions to put in a solid display in the next ODI on Friday.
The series consists of four-ODIs. With the ICC World Cup just around the corner next month in England, even though these two teams have not qualified, they would like to take some lessons from the big teams.
Zimbabwe was a regular with top teams some years ago, but in recent years they are restricted to playing with Bangladesh, UAE, and Afghanistan.
