my suggestion is for the tests: ENG wins 1:0 and for the ODIs an ENG vs. SAF final in which ZIM wins not more than two games from their six to played …
I think its going to be an exciting series, Zimbabwe might just pull of a victory, they have some quality players like Streak and Blignaut, all the pressure is on G Flower as far as putting the runs goes.
