Zimbabwe started their series well against Pakistan by winning the game. They won the first game by 80 runs, humiliating the visitors. However, they failed to keep the momentum going as they lost the second game, leaving the third as a decider. Pakistan won the second game by 10 wickets which was outstanding. The opening pair put up a winning partnership of 148 runs. Zimbabwe had to make their batting strong to win the final game. Pakistan’s bowling attack is strong which will create issues for Zimbabwe.
Here’s the predicted XI for Zimbabwe:
Top Order
Joylord Gumbie, Marumani and Dion Myers are the top-order batters for Zimbabwe. They are a good set of players who have played really well in the past and also have the capability of producing good innings. The team can rely on these players to play a solid inning in the last game since it’s a decider.
Middle Order
Captain Craig Ervine, Sean Williams, Sikandar Raza and Brian Bennett are the middle-order batters of the team. They failed to perform in the previous game but in the first game, the batters did really well. The same will be expected from them in the upcoming game. Ervine is a prolific batter who is capable of producing big hits. Sean Williams is another talented all-around who can bat and bowl.
Bowlers
Brandon Mavuta, Ngarava, Muzarabani and Trevor Gwandu are the bowlers. They were on fire in the first game, claiming six quick wickets in just 60 runs. They will have to pull off the same strategy in the last game as well.
