Mayank Yadav has breathed fire in his first over.

A beauty from Mayank Yadav and Brian Bennett departs on the very first ball.

First ball and a review. Ishan Kishan holds his hand and appeals.

"We are going to bowl first. This is my first time here, so I am not entirely sure how the pitch will play, but based on the practice surfaces, we are expecting decent bounce. Zimbabwe have improved significantly over the last couple of years and have been playing very good cricket, showing growth in both batting and bowling. They have become a competitive side in all departments. We are going in with a combination of three seamers and one spinner for this match."

Brian Bennett, Tadiwanashe Marumani(w), Ben Curran, Dion Myers, Sikandar Raza(c), Ryan Burl, Wessly Madhevere, Brad Evans, Newman Nyamhuri, Richard Ngarava, Blessing Muzarabani.
