Pakistan and Zimbabwe to clash in 3-game T20I series next [Source: @mufaddal_vohra/X.com]
Pakistan and Zimbabwe are set to clash in a 3-game T20I series starting from December 1st. The series opener will be held at Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo from 4.30 PM IST.
Pakistan's tour of Zimbabwe will enter its second and final leg with the 3-game T20I series scheduled for December 1, 3 and 5. Previously, the two teams clashed in a 3-game ODI series where the visitors emerged victorious 2-1. Despite an upset in the series opener, the men in green bounced back with a thumping performance to seal back-to-back one sided contests.
That being said, heading into the T20I series, Pakistan's side will field young faces to build some bench strength. Agha Salman will lead the side, and rookies such as Qasim Akram, Omair Bin Yousuf, and Jahandad Khan will likely make their debuts.
For Zimbabwe, Sikandar Raza will return as captain with many fresh faces as well. Before the 1st T20I gets underway, let's explore the head-to-head record between Pakistan and Zimbabwe in T20Is.

Pakistan and Zimbabwe have never come face to face at the Queens Sports Club in the T20I format. Hence, both sides will step into the land of the unknown.
PAK vs ZIM: What Happened When They Last Played A T20I?
Pakistan and Zimbabwe last clashed in a T20I in 2022 during the ICC Men's T20 World Cup. In the Group 2 contest held at Perth, Zimbabwe batted first to post 130 runs on the board. Sean Williams was the highest scorer with 31 off 28 balls.
Shockingly, Pakistan fell short in the chase to witness an upsetting loss. Despite Shan Masood's 44 of 38 balls knock, the lower order failed miserably, and the men in green fell short of just 1 run. Zimbabwe snatched victory from the jaws of defeat to taint Pakistan's image.
