After an intense ODI series that saw Pakistan emerge victorious 2-1, the stage is set for an electrifying T20I series against Zimbabwe. The first T20I is set to kick off on Sunday, December 1, at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo, starting at 4:30 PM IST. With both teams eager to make a statement, fans are in for another exciting clash.

ZIM vs PAK 1st T20I Preview

Pakistan had an abysmal start in the ODI, losing the opener in a rain-affected clash via the DLS method, but they bounced back emphatically. The Men in Green crushed Zimbabwe in the next two games, registering a commanding 10-wicket win followed by a 99-run thrashing in the decider. Riding high on confidence, Pakistan will now aim to replicate their dominance in the shortest format of the game.

For the T20Is, Salman Ali Agha takes charge of the team, and he brings fresh energy to the squad. Pakistan's bowling department, led by the in-form Haris Rauf and Mohammad Hasnain, looks well-equipped to rattle Zimbabwe's batters. On the batting front, the likes of Saim Ayub and Usman Khan bring firepower, which makes Pakistan a well-rounded unit.

On the other hand, Zimbabwe will be licking their wounds after a disappointing ODI series. Their T20I form hasn't been inspiring either, as they were drubbed 4-1 by India in their last series. However, the hosts will be determined to turn things around. Raza, the team's linchpin, will once again be expected to deliver both with the bat and ball.

Furthermore, Blessing Muzarabani and Richard Ngarava could pose a real threat to Pakistan's batting lineup. The likes of Clive Madande, Ryan Burl, and Tadiwanashe Marumani hold the key for Zimbabwe. If these players click, Zimbabwe might just surprise Pakistan and get off to a winning start in the series.
