Ahmed Shehzad and Nasir Jamshed were far from impressive in today's innings, failing to bring about any momentum to the innings. Both had strike-rates (S/R) of just a fraction of 50, which is simply unacceptable in an ODI match. On the other hand, Zimbabwe openers were more at ease and scoring at a significantly higher rate.
Is there really an excuse for this performance given that these players should have been well accustomed to the playing conditions in Harare by now?
