ZIMBABWE are, this morning, facing South Africa in the final game of the two-match Test series at Queens Sports Club.
The Chevrons go into this match looking to level the series 1–1, having suffered a record 328-run defeat in the first Test last week.
Team News:
Zimbabwe have made two changes to the team that played last week.
Opening batter Prince Masvaure has been ruled out of the Test match.
Masvaure is suffering from a respiratory tract infection and was deemed unfit to play.
He had come into the team as a concussion replacement for Brian Bennett during the first Test played last week.
Bennett himself remains unavailable for selection as he continues to recover from the concussion he sustained in that match.
Dion Myers has been named as Masvaure’s replacement in one of two changes made to the Zimbabwe playing XI for the second Test.
The other change sees Kundai Matigimu making his Test debut, coming in for Vincent Masekesa.
Meanwhile, South Africa have made three changes to the team that played the first Test.
Lesego Senokwane and Prenelan Subrayen are set to make their debuts for the Proteas.
Senuran Muthusamy, who was added to the squad as a replacement for the injured Keshav Maharaj, also starts.
