Done with the pre-match formalities! All in readiness now for Match 1 in the Super Sixes of the ICC World Cup Qualifiers 2023. We can see Oman players spread out to take their respective field positions. Joylord Gumbie and Craig Ervine are the two openers for Zimbabwe. Bilal Khan has the new ball in hand and is raring to go. Let's play...

We are moments away from the match but before that, the players from both sides walk out and line up for their respective national anthems. I will be Oman's first followed by the national anthem of Zimbabwe.

Ed Rainsford is pitchside. He says that the weather is fantastic. Adds that one square boundary is very short and could play a huge part. Tells that there are some grass patches but one area is a bit dry. Mentions the pacers will get help but overall it is a good batting surface.

Craig Ervine the skipper of Zimbabwe says that the surface looks fresh and dry and they would have batted as it might turn late on. Adds that he is fully recovered and ready to go in this crunch game. Also adds that they have played a lot of cricket in Harare and would not mind playing in Bulawayo as they have the experience and skills to adjust to different venues. Informs that they have got three changes.

Zeeshan Maqsood the skipper of Oman says that they will bowl first. Adds that they want to exploit the early movement and restrict Zimbabwe to a low total. Tells that they lost the last game but the attitude in the camp is positive and they are up for the challenge. Informs they have made one change.

Oman (Playing XI) - Kashyap Prajapati, Jatinder Singh, Aqib Ilyas, Zeeshan Maqsood (C), Mohammad Nadeem, Ayaan Khan, Shoaib Khan, Naseem Khushi (WK), Fayyaz Butt, Bilal Khan, Kaleemullah (replaces Jay Odedra).

Zimbabwe (Playing XI) - Joylord Gumbie (WK), Craig Ervine (C) (replaces Innocent Kaia), Wesley Madhevere, Sean Williams, Sikandar Raza, Ryan Burl, Wellington Masakadza, Luke Jongwe, Richard Ngarava, Tendai Chatara (replaces Brad Evans), Blessing Muzarabani (replaces Tadiwanashe Marumani).

TOSS-: Oman have won the toss and elected to BOWL first

Oman on the other hand started the campaign with a real high and won the games that mattered the most for advancing into the next stage but has faltered a bit in the last couple of games losing heavily against Lanka and Scotland. The team depends a lot on skipper Zeeshan Maqsood and young left-armer Ayaan Khan as Kashyap Prajapati has fallen a bit in the recent games and Jatinder Singh is yet to find some form in Zimbabwe. Oman would need the batter to click well if they are to give any fight to Zimbabwe as they are coming into this game with a bundle load of confidence after scoring in excess of 400 in the last game. Can Oman pull off another upset in the tournament or will Zimbabwe keep up the party mood in the country? We'll find out in a while, stay tuned for toss and team updates.

The hosts Zimbabwe have been nothing but sensational as they have not let any opponent dominate them having won all of their group-stage games. Zimbabwe have a massive advantage over others as they have already carried 4 points to the Super Six stage. They have outclassed opponents with the bat and have not let anything slip away in the field and with the ball as well. The purple patch of Sean Williams has been a game-changer for the hosts while Sikandar Raza has turned up tremendously well with his all-round ability. The team would once again be relying on a clinical performance against an Associate Nation that is having a dream campaign of their own.

Hello and welcome to the first game of the Super Six as Zimbabwe faces off Oman at Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo. We are all set for the business end of the tournament as the road to India for ICC Cricket World Cup later this year ends with the top 2 from Super Six.

...MATCH DAY...
