Preview

One T20I done and it was Pakistan who came out trumps. There was no doubt in it though as they were excellent throughout the game. First the bowlers bowled well, restricting Zimbabwe to just 156. Mohammad Hasnain was the star with the ball and he received enough support from the others as well. They lost an early wicket with the bat but Babar Azam showed his class yet again as he scored a fine 80 and he, along with Mohammad Hafeez took them close before they fell. But by that time, the game was won. They would look to continue more of the same and clinch the series.

Zimbabwe, on the other hand, did not turn up with both bat and ball. They were poor with the bat as only Wesley Madhevere played well. The bowling too was not upto the mark as they gave away far too many easy runs and to make matters worse, their fielding was horrendous. They need to improve on that desperately if they want to level the series.

What will happen? Will Zimbabwe be able to level the series or will the hosts clinch it with one game to spare?
