Having played each other a couple of times in the recent months, Zimbabwe is once again ready to play Pakistan but this time, the former will have the home advantage on their side. In this 2021 Pakistan tour of Zimbabwe, we have 3 T20 internationals followed by a series of 2 Test matches which have been scheduled between 21 April – 11 May 2021, with all games to be played at the Harare Cricket Ground.
Zimbabwe has a very poor record here at this ground while Pakistan has a near 100% record here in past T20 internationals over the years. Pakistan are overwhelming favourites but the Zimbabwe players have been playing the domestic T20 League of late and they haven’t been completely away from the game.

Numbers
- Head to head in last 5 games, Pakistan leads 5-0.
- Zimbabwe – won only 2 of their 20 T2oIs here.
- Pakistan – won 10 of their 11 previous T20Is here.
- Craig Ervine last 3 T20 scores – 65, 51, and 120*.
Zimbabwe
The side is being led by Sean Williams who had 4 quiet games in the recent Zimbabwe T20 League but he finished with 3 wickets and a fifty in the final game, so he’s always a must in your ZIM vs PAK fantasy team, maybe even as captain or vice-captain. Craig Ervine was the top scorer of the tournament in that T20 season while Brendan Taylor also got a big century in one of the games, finishing third on the run-scorers’ list.
Sikandar Raza is out after recently completing surgery but there’s the youngster Wesley Madhevere who is set to play his first T20I at home and you’d be really impressed with this all-rounder if you saw his U-19 records with bat and ball. With the ball, the most experienced pacer is Donald Tiripano who got wickets in the domestic T20 season as well and is likely to lead the attack today too.
Pakistan
First person from this team to pick in your ZIM vs PAK Dream11 team is Fakhar Zaman who hit consecutive ODI centuries against South Africa recently and is one of the top scorers here too, with 278 runs in 5 games including 3 fifties at Harare. Their most experienced campaigner Mohammad Hafeez has 13 wickets in 7 T20Is here and while he may not bowl, he’s been among the runs of late as well, so can be picked.

We’ve usually seen spinners doing very well at this ground and that’s why Usman Qadir nay be given another chance in T20 internationals, so we’re picking him in our PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234“) ZIM vs PAK 1st T20I fantasy team. Faheem Ashraf contributes with both and ball and is an option who can even be your fantasy captain or vice-captain because of maximum exposure.
