ZIM vs PAK 1st T20I: All you need to know, head to head, playing XI
Pakistan and Zimbabwe are all set to turn their attention to the shortest format of the game as they face off in the first T20I match of their three-match series on Sunday at Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo. After a competitive three-match ODI series in which Pakistan clinched a 2-1 victory, both teams are now ready to engage in the thrilling T20I series.
In the ODI series, Pakistan managed to secure the series win despite facing challenge in the first game. For Pakistan, the upcoming T20Is offer an opportunity to build on the momentum from the ODI series while also focusing on the aggressive and quick-fire approach in T20 cricket.
On the other hand, Zimbabwe will be looking to bounce back after the ODI series defeat. Despite a valiant effort in the 50-over format, Zimbabwe fell short, but this T20I series will serve as an ideal platform for them to showcase their strengths in the shortest format, where matches are often decided in the blink of an eye. Zimbabwe, meanwhile, will rely on their all-rounders and strong lower-middle order to provide balance.
