Pakistan vs Zimbabwe – Previews and Betting Tips

Pakistan suffered a tormenting defeat in their Super 12 opening game against India. Being asked to bat first, Pakistan’s batting line-up tumbled like a pack of dominos. Iftikar Ahmed proved to be the backbone of the batting unit as he came in at a tough situation and played like a warrior. He scored 51 off just 34 balls to boost his team’s morale. Later, Shan Masood’s unbeaten knock of 52 helped Pakistan get to a defending total of 159/8.

Defending 160, Pakistan had the men in blue in a tough position. The Pakistani pacers had India trailing at 31/4 in just 6.1 overs, making it almost impossible to chase the total. Then came the partnership that changed everything. Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya stitched a hundred-run partnership and clinched a win in the final-over thriller at the SCG. Haris Rauf was the only stand-out bowler with figures of 2/36.

On the other hand, Zimbabwe dodged a bullet against the Proteas in their previous encounter, courtesy of the rain. Batting first, Zimbabwe kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Wesley Madhevere scored a fantastic 18-ball 35* to get Zimbabwe to a defending total of 79/5. In response, de Kock came out all guns blazing and marched South Africa to 51/0 in just 3 overs. Thankfully for Zimbabwe, the rain came down heavy, calling off the match and the points being shared at the end.

The No. 1 T20I batter has amassed 357 runs in just 9 matches and his partner, Babar Azam, has 328 under his belt in just 10 games. These two world-class batters will receive plenty of help from the middle order, as and when the services are necessary. Pakistan will rely the most on the bowling unit as that’s their strong zone. Haris Rauf is undoubtedly the pick of the bowlers alongside Shaheen Afridi. Rauf has 13 wickets under his name in just 7 games and will prove to be very lethal against the Zimbabwe batting unit.
