Betting Tips
Abrar Ahmed to pick up Over 1.5 wickets
1.85
Abrar has only recently made his T20 debut and has picked up at least 2 wickets in the last 3 innings that he has bowled. As the pitch at Bulawayo does help the spinners, we are backing him to bowl a good spell.
Total 6’s - Under 10.5
1.80
Striking the ball becomes difficult at the Queens Club, especially in the second half. Therefore, we are unlikely to see more than 10 maximums.
Pakistan will look to clinch the 3-match series as it faces Zimbabwe for the 2nd T20I on Tuesday at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo.

ZIM vs PAK Team Previews
Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe’s 5-match winning streak came to a halt on Sunday as they faced a comprehensive defeat at the hands of Pakistan. They must now bounce back quickly if they want to keep the series alive.
Except for Tadiwanashe Marumani and Sikander Raza, none of the batsmen managed to reach double-digit scores in the last match and, the whole team was bundled out in less than 16 overs.
The hosts need a better performance from its top-order batsmen including Brian Bennett, Dion Myers, and Ryan Burl. The team also has a long tail and should they lose quick wickets at the top of the order, it could face yet another collapse.
The bowling, particularly from the seamers, was pretty average. Blessing Muzarabani went wicketless while Richard Ngarava picked up just 1. The spinners did slightly better but were expensive as well.
Zimbabwe Expected Playing 11
- Brian Bennett
- Tadiwanashe Marumani (WK)
- Sikander Raza (C)
- Ryan Burl
- Dion Myers
- Clive Madande
- Wellington Masakdza
- Blessing Muzarabani
- Richard Ngarava
- Trevor Gwandu
- Tashinga Musekiwa
Pakistan
Despite missing some of its key players, the visitors put up a clinical show in the last match to go one-up in the series. Pakistan is expected to go into this match with an unchanged playing XI.
Saim Ayub and Omair Yusuf gave the team a decent start in the previous game and will look to do so again in this match as well. Playing without the likes of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, the middle order is made up of young talents like Usman Khan, Tayyab Tahir, and Irfan Khan, all of whom played well and are expected to continue doing so.
However, it is the bowlers who set the tone for their big win. Abrar Ahmed and Sufiyan Muqeem picked up 3 wickets each and were quite miserly as well. The pace department continues to be led by Haris Rauf, Abbas Afridi, and Jahandad Khan.
Pakistan Expected Playing 11
- Saim Ayub
- Omair Yusuf
- Agha Salman (C)
- Usman Khan (WK)
- Tayyab Tahir
- Irfan Khan
- Jahandad Khan
- Abbas Afridi
- Haris Rauf
- Sufiyan Muqeem
- Abrar Ahmed
ZIM vs PAK Toss Prediction
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.
Pitch and Conditions
The pitch at the Queens Sports Club is good to bat on, at least in the first half. The ball comes onto the bat and playing shots will be easy. A score of around 160 is a par score. However, as the match progresses, the surface gets slower and lower. The spinners can expect plenty of help in the second half.
The weather will be bright and sunny with temperatures of over 30 degrees.
ZIM vs PAK Betting Tips
Pakistan was clinical in its performance during the last match and we are backing them to continue playing well. Zimbabwe will need to play out of their skin if they want to win this match.
Bet on Pakistan to win.
