It was a well fought ODI series between these two teams, even though the results will show Pakistan dominated, ending with a 2-1 ODI series victory. However, this tour continues as we have 3 T20Is scheduled, all three at the same ground in Rawalpindi between 7-10 November. It’s the shorter format of the game and Zimbabwe will fancy their chances in this format.
While Zimbabwe has beaten Pakistan in the 50-over format, they’re yet to taste success against this opposition in the shortest format. Check out past results of these players as well as ground performance at Rawalpindi before selecting players from these teams today.

Numbers

- Chamu Chibhabha – only 19 runs in the 3 ODIs.
- Babar Azam – 221 runs in 3 games in the ODI series.
Pakistan
With the bat, expect young Haider Ali to get a go right at the top of the order. He only managed 42 runs in 2 games in the ODIs but he is a clean striker of the ball and he displayed that when he scored 54 on T20I debut against England a couple of months back. Another rising star, Mohammad Hasnain bagged a 5-fer in his only game in the ODI series and we think he will also be given a game today in the 1st T20I.
All-rounder Imad Wasim managed only 2 wickets in 3 ODIs but he has always been more proficient in the shortest format with both bat as well as ball, so don’t forget to pick this player, maybe even as fantasy captain or vice-captain. We think Fakhar Zaman will come out to bat as opener and while he could be classified as a miss-or-hit player, let’s not forget that he has an ODI double century against this same opposition.
Zimbabwe
Talking about captains and vice-captains, we have Wesley Madhevere who will contribute with both bat as well as ball. In the ODIs, he didn’t get any wickets but managed 98 runs in 3 outings. The series leader with the ball was Blessing Muzarabani with 7 scalps in 3 games and he’s going to be very vital to their chances today because he had plenty recent experience in England County cricket after taking up the Kolpak deal.

One of Zimbabwe’s most prolific all-rounders, Sikandar Raza managed 2 wickets and then even scored 45 in the 3rd ODI which Zimbabwe won and considering all of his T20 franchise cricket experience across the world, you should have him in your Nostragamus (Get Rs.200 FREE) fantasy team. Sean Williams scored nearly 200 runs in the ODI series and his slow left arm spin will come handy, so he’s a must have as well.
