Zimbabwe Form: Shock win opens up the series

Zimbabwe put a total on the board before triggering a Pakistan collapse which ultimately led to a DLS victory after rain put an early end to proceedings. The Zimbabwean bowlers reduced the tourists to 60/6 after 21 overs chasing 206 to win after a crucial 48 from Richard Ngarava down the order helped Zimbabwe to a competitive total.

LAST THREE: WLL

Pakistan Form: Reaction needed after batting collapse

Harsh words will have no doubt been had with each other inside the Pakistan dressing room after they throw away victory with a terrible batting performance. A top order meltdown saw none of their players reach 20 as wickets fell in regular intervals, leaving Pakistan well behind the DLS rate when the rain came.

LAST THREE: LWW

Zimbabwe Betting Analysis

Key to Zimbabwe’s success in the first ODI was Blessing Muzarabani’s bowling, who set the tone for what was to come with a brilliant spell under grey skies. Muzarabani consistently beat the beat, conceding just nine runs from five overs bowled and taking the wickets of both Pakistan openers. Bettors should consider investing in a player who has performed consistently well against Pakistan, specifically to take over 1.5 match wickets here.

Pakistan Betting Analysis

After taking ten wickets over the course of three ODIs in Australia, Haris Rauf would’ve expected to take more than just the one wicket in the first ODI. But Rauf is a quality operator and it would be no surprise to see him bounce back strong here, especially in what could prove to be good fast bowling conditions. With that in mind, back Rauf to record 2+ wickets on this occasion via the ‘Bowler Milestones’ market.

Zimbabwe vs Pakistan Expert Prediction

Surely Pakistan will come out fighting after such a damp showing on Sunday. Zimbabwe have momentum behind them, but Pakistan are very much a mercurial outfit capable of producing excellent cricket out of nowhere, normally when fans least expect it. Therefore, back the tourists to level the series.
