England vs Zimbabwe Chance of Winning

England head into the new Test cycle after once again failing to make the finals. In the two previous Test cycles thus far England has hosted finals on both occasions but have failed to reach the finals. England would be hoping to dominate this game before they square off against India in the five match series.

Zimbabwe head into this series after struggling to make an impact in Tests this season. They have only one win in the last ten matches. The win came against Bangladesh in the last series where they drew 1-1. As per our calculations, England are favourites in the upcoming game.

England vs Zimbabwe Betting Odds

England to have a better opening partnership than Zimbabwe

England and Zimbabwe go head to head in an historic game as this would be the first Test match between the two sides in 22 years. The last time both sides went head to head was back in 2003 and a two game series and England won the series 2-0. Zimbabwe have struggled to compete in Test cricket with the top teams which has been the case in this fixture as they have never beaten England in Test cricket. England head into the new Test Championship cycle after yet another disappointment as they failed to qualify for the finals once again. This would be the final game before their five match test series against India hence we expect England to go all out in this game and dominate the match. We believe England will end up with a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.
