Harare Sports Club Pitch Report

The Harare Sports Club offers a challenging surface for batters, with pacers benefiting from early movement. In the last ODI here, Zimbabwe managed just 127 runs against Afghanistan, losing by eight wickets. Moisture will aid seamers, while overcast conditions may further assist fast bowlers. Historically, chasing teams have had more success, winning 104 of 200 ODIs, making bowling first a likely choice for the toss-winning captain.
