Wicketkeeper
Regis Chakabva: Although Regis Chakabva's form has tailed off in the last few games, he remains Zimbabwe's go-to batsman in the powerplay overs. His ability to take on fast bowlers makes him a handy option to have in your fantasy team.
Batsman
Craig Ervine: Zimbabwe captain Craig Ervine has been brilliant since promoting himself to the no.3 slot. The southpaw will be crucial to Zimbabwe's fortunes in the middle overs and should score some runs in today's game.
