Pakistan vs Zimbabwe 1st T20 Preview & Tips
Pakistan are hoping to set the record straight this week as they attempt to bounce back from a two-wicket loss to their opponents when the pair last met in the shortest format back in 2024.
Zimbabwe were beaten by Afghanistan in a frustrating nine-run loss in their last Twenty20 match.
- Pakistan have won their last two T20's
- Pakistan have won two of their last three Twenty20's against Zimbabwe
Head To Head
Pakistan have won seven of their last 10 T20's against Zimbabwe, with the latter winning the other three.
Pakistan Form
Pakistan eased to a 2-1 series win over South Africa in their most recent T20 series as they came from 1-0 down after losing their opener by 55-runs.
They then went on to beat the same opponents 2-1 in their ODI series as Pakistan continued to show encouraging signs on the field. For too long, Pakistan have seemed like they will take a step forward before taking two back, but their unbeaten multi-format series against South Africa was impressive as they secured a 1-1 Test series draw before beating their opponents 2-1 in the two shorter formats.
This week, Pakistan have a chance to avenge a two-wicket loss to their opponents back in December of 2024, and I back them to take this chance. Zimbabwe will struggle against Pakistan, especially when considering the threats they boast with the ball in hand.
Zimbabwe Form
Zimbabwe have struggled for wins in their most recent Twenty20 run, with three consecutive defeats coming at the hands of Afghanistan.
Prior to this, they did boast a five-match winning run. However, it is worth noting that the opponents they beat in this time were Uganda, Botswana, Tanzania, Kenya and Namibia. While it is crucial to beat the team in front of you, the quality of their vanquished foes has not been high.
By contrast, when they took on a strong Afghanistan side, they were beaten three consecutive times, and I back more of the same in this one.
Verdict
I am backing Pakistan to secure a third consecutive win in the T20 game as they ease past Zimbabwe.
