Pre-Match Analysis:

West Indies tried different things to win a game on day 5 of the 1st day however Zimbabwe batters stood strong to shatter their dreams. The openers Kraigg Brathwaite and Tagenarine Chanderpaul made a statement by putting up a record-breaking 336-run stand for the 1st wicket in the 1st innings. The latter went on to score his maiden double-century in his only 3rd Test. Gudakesh Motie was their pick of the bowler who claimed 6 wickets in a match including 4 fer on the final day. The batting unit looks settled with enough depth and needs to give more emphasis on their bowling to create more chances when things are not going their way.

Full marks for Zimbabwe with the way they fought in the 1st Test. Gary Ballance in his 1st Test for Zimbabwe scored an unbeaten 137*runs in the 1st innings to put the hosts in a reasonable position. The openers Innocent Kaia and Tanunurma Makoni made a memorable Test debut adding useful runs. It was Brandon Mavuta who caught the attention bagging a 5 fer in the 1st innings and even scoring a patient half-century coming down the order. There is no dearth of talent in this current group all they need to do is apply themselves according to the conditions.
