THE PREDICTION
Pakistan were stunned in their final one-day international as Zimbabwe beat them on a Super Over and that will have rankled with them ahead of this three-match T20 series. That may only serve to motivate them even more so for this game as they look to bounce back here. The intensity of the T20 format will suit them here as there were signs of them easing off the gas a little in the ODI matches with both bat and ball so that will help them. Zimbabwe’s top order struggles continued even in the game they won, but their middle order of Ervine, Taylor, Williams and the two all-rounders Sikandar Raza and Wesley Madhevere is in excellent form right now. With fast bowler Blessing Muzarabani taking five wickets in the last ODI, he will be full of confidence coming into this game also and the bowling unit will hope to build on their last performance. That may still not be quite enough however against Pakistan as the hosts will be fired up here to get an opening win. With skipper Babar Azam in good form and somewhat wounded after that loss, expect fireworks from him to lead them to victory.
