ZIM vs PAK Prediction, 3rd T20I, Pakistan Tour of Zimbabwe 2024
The third and final T20I between Zimbabwe and Pakistan is set to take place on December 5, Thursday, at Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo. Pakistan have been in commanding form throughout the series, winning the first two games comfortably and extending their streak to four consecutive wins across formats after an initial setback in the ODI series.
Zimbabwe’s struggles have been evident, especially with the bat. Their performance in the second T20I was particularly concerning as they recorded their lowest-ever T20I total, underscoring their vulnerability against Pakistan’s disciplined bowling attack. Despite playing on home turf, the hosts have failed to put up competitive totals, exposing a lack of consistency and application in their batting lineup.
Pakistan, on the other hand, have showcased all-around dominance. Their bowlers have exploited conditions effectively, while their batters have delivered under pressure, highlighting the gap between the two sides.
For Zimbabwe to salvage some pride in the series finale, they need a remarkable turnaround. Their batters must rise to the occasion, applying themselves against a formidable bowling unit. With Pakistan eyeing a clean sweep, the onus is on Zimbabwe to put up a fight and give their fans something to cheer about.
