ZIM vs PAK 1st ODI Preview

The Zimbabwe cricket team is yet to play a single ODI match since competing for a short series in Sri Lanka back in January this year. Zimbabwe lost that series, as well as its preceding three-match home rubber against Ireland by 0-2 margins. Moreover, they also failed to qualify for the 2023 World Cup in India. In a bid to find a spot in the 2027 World Cup, it is imperative for the Zimbabwe team to attain some positive momentum going ahead. With the Chevrons aiming to topple Pakistan, pros like Sikandar Raza, Sean Williams and captain Craig Ervine need to step up to the occasion.

The Pakistan cricket team recently recorded its first ever ODI series win in Australia in more than 20 years. Under the leadership of Mohammad Rizwan, the ‘Men in Green’ will be aiming to sustain their newfound winning momentum in their road towards next year’s 2025 ICC Champions Trophy. Abdullah Shafique and captain Rizwan will start out as some of the primary in-form players with the bat, while in-form Haris Rauf is set to lead Pakistan’s pace attack in the absence of Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah.
