PAK vs ZIM Weather Report And Pitch Report Of the Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo – 1st T2OI, Pakistan tour of Zimbabwe 2024

Pakistan continues to be on the road as they face Zimbabwe in a three-match T20I series after sealing the ODI series 2-1.

The Men in Green will look to rebound from their recent 3-0 whitewash against Australia, while Zimbabwe seeks to regain momentum after losing the ODI series.

Both sides will see major reshuffles in their squad. For Pakistan, Mohammad Rizwan will miss out on the series after being rested. Salman Ali Agha will lead the young side in the absence of the regular stand-in captain.

Some of the key players like Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and Naseem Shah have also been rested for the series. However, the inclusion of Qasim Akram and Mohammad Hasnain provides an opportunity for young players to prove their worth.

Zimbabwe, on the other hand, will look to make the most of their home advantage and recent success in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 sub-regional qualifier in Kenya.

They have retained the same squad from that qualifying tournament, with young talents like Trevor Gwandu, Tashinga Musekiwa, and Tinotenda Maposa retaining the spot.
