Zimbabwe will eye a positive start to the three-match T20I series as they host Pakistan in Bulawayo on Sunday. Pakistan clinched a 2-1 series win against Zimbabwe after losing the first game and will enter the T20Is as clear favourites.
Both teams last faced each other in T20Is during the T20 World Cup 2022 where Zimbabwe registered a thrilling 1-run win in Perth. The new vice-captain Salman Ali Agha is set to lead the team as Pakistan rest their key players, including captain Mohammad Rizwan.
Sikandar Raza-led Zimbabwe have dropped the veterans Craig Ervine and Sean Williams from their T20I squad despite an impressive performance in the recent ODIs. Zimbabwe have won two of their last three T20I meetings against Pakistan but have struggled for consistency in 2024.
