ZIM vs PAK 3rd ODI Preview
Pakistan defeated Zimbabwe with a series-levelling victory at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo in the last game. The two teams will now face each other in a series decider at the same venue in the upcoming match.
Pakistan made up for a lacklustre performance in the first ODI with a near perfect one in the second, crushing Zimbabwe by ten wickets to level the series. Opener Saim Ayub scored the fastest ODI hundred by any Pakistani other than Shahid Afridi, bringing up three figures in 53 balls as Pakistan coasted to the target of 146 with 32 overs to spare. It finished off an all-round performance after Pakistan's spinners put Zimbabwe on the back foot after being asked to bowl first, debutant Abrar Ahmed's 4 for 33 the pick of the bunch as Zimbabwe were bowled out in 32.3 overs.
