Zimbabwe Betting Analysis

Zimbabwe are set to be captained by Sikandar Raza for this series and the star all-rounder possess a significant threat with bat and ball. Raza will need to fire batting-wise in particular against a strong Pakistan bowling attack and his ability to clear the boundary rope should come in handy. With that in mind, back Raza to strike over 0.5 match sixes here.

Pakistan Betting Analysis

Despite a number of players being rested, Pakistan remain a formidable T20 proposition, especially with a player like Mohammad Hasnain among their bowling unit. The 24-year-old will be desperate to make a positive impact amid the battle for places in the starting line-up once the likes of Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah return to the fold. Therefore, consider backing Hasnain to take over 1.5 match wickets.

Zimbabwe vs Pakistan Expert Prediction

Even with a team missing some of their biggest stars, Pakistan do appear to be a level above Zimbabwe in white ball cricket and that should be reflected over the course of this game. Expect the tourists to dominate regardless of whether they are setting or chasing a target and ultimately come away with victory.
