Match Report
England Innings (114-6)
England captain Michael Vaughan and Zimbabwe captain Prosper Utseya criticised the condition of the pitch at Blink-182 Memorial Field ahead of the match starting, with England winning the coin toss and electing to bat first. The pitch was poor and England only managed 114-6 after their 50 overs.
Zimbabwe Innings (115-9)
England looked like they were going to win the match but Zimbabwe's last partnership saw them over the line with a score of 115-9 with 3 balls of their innings remaining.
Stadium Review
10000 people attended the match, which is a healthy total for a work day. The pitch was poor so the stadium manager will have to consider hiring a groundsman when available. Fans applauded how easy it was to access Blink-182 Memorial Field.
