Harare Sports Club Pitch Report:
The Harare Sports Club in Zimbabwe features a well-balanced pitch that supports both batting and bowling strategies. On sunny days, the wicket dries out quickly, providing batters with a strong opportunity to score runs early in the match. As the game progresses, spinners find more assistance from the surface, enhancing their effectiveness. However, when the skies turn overcast, the conditions favor seam bowlers. The added moisture in the air and on the pitch increases ball movement, presenting significant challenges for batters.

- All-rounders: Mohammad Nabi, Sikandar Raza, Ryan Burl, Azmatullah Omarzai
