Preview

The Zimbabwe (ZIM) cricket team is all set to turn their fortunes against Pakistan (PAK) in the first T20I of the three-match series, slated to take place from December 1 at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo. This upcoming clash marks the start of the series, with the home team eager to mark their turnaround after losing the ODI series to the Green Army.

Coming to the team dynamics, for the host team, skipper Sikandar Raza will aim to inspire disciplined performance across batting, bowling, and fielding. The side has a tough challenge, as the visitors hold a strong head-to-head record in the T20Is, winning 16 of their 19 matches. However, Raza and Co. will take confidence from their narrow one-run win against Pakistan during the 2022 ICC T20 World Cup in Australia.

The series-opening game is crucial for the two teams, which set the tone of the series. The Men in Green look to extend their dominance, while Zimbabwe aims to pose a big threat to the tourist side with their exceptional performance. Ahead of the first T20I game between these two potential sides, check out captaincy picks, top picks, budget picks, players to avoid, injury reports, weather updates, playing XI, and Dream 11 fantasy teams.
