Match Preview

These two, alongside Sean Williams, are the core of the batting order for Zimbabwe and will need to be at their best against Pakistan. Ryan Burl, Regis Chakabva, and Wesley Madhevere round out an average batting unit at best.

Zimbabwe may be playing in home conditions but it does not come up against bowlers of the quality of Pakistan’s attack very often. Even if they, they certainly do not end up dominating them.

Despite being billed as heavy favorites for the series, Pakistan only managed to sneak a win in the previous game, courtesy of some good death bowling. Their batting unit was left in tatters, and if not for a resilient knock by Mohammad Rizwan, Pakistan would have been down for the count. However, Pakistan are too good a side not to improve from their failures, with Babar Azam itching to make amends for his no-show in the first game.

Weather Report & Pitch Condition

As seen in the previous game, the pitch is slightly on the slower side, making it difficult for the batsmen to score in the middle overs. However, the batters will try and maximize the powerplay restrictions and attack the bowlers, who will try to get some movement off the surface. Spinners will ideally have a say in the middle overs with some decent turn on offer. Both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss, with 150-160 being par at the venue.
