Zimbabwe would back themselves to qualify for the marquee ODI WC 2023 as the Qualifiers are slated to take place in Zimbabwe. The tournament is set to commence on 17th June as 10 teams would compete for the 2 spots.

All eyes would be on the dashing all-rounder Sikandar Raza as the cricketer can be seen excelling in franchise cricket as well as for its national team. Raza’s variations are quite tough to pick for the batters.

Zimbabwe would be banking on their senior batters Craig Ervine & Sean Williams to bat as deep as possible and play a significant knock for the team. Recently in 2022, Zimbabwe had won the ODI Series against Bangladesh which is quite a big achievement.

Last time, Zimbabwe missed the qualification for ODI WC 2019 by a whisker they lost the match to UAE. The lanky fast bowler Blessing Muzarabani would be keen to dictate the terms as head coach Dave Houghton will have to manage his workload as he is quite an injury prone.

The 10 teams are placed in 2 groups as Zimbabwe are placed along with West Indies, Nepal, the Netherlands, and the United States of America. The top 3 teams would advance to the Super 6 stage and will play with the other 3 teams and then the top 2 teams would advance to the WC 2023.
