PAK vs ZIM 2nd ODI Prediction & Betting Tips
Pakistan will take on Zimbabwe in the 2nd game of the 3 match ODI series. The match will be played on the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi and is scheduled to begin at 12:00 PM local time.
Pakistan might be 1-0 up in the series but Zimbabwe definitely made them earn that victory. Ahead of the first ODI, the series was expected to be a one sided affair but now, having seen Zimbabwe play decently, Pakistan cannot be lenient with their approach. Pakistan looked rusty in the first game with only two players crossing the 50 run mark. They were struggling in the initial part of the match before a late flourish from Haris Sohail and Imad Wasim took them to a respectable 281. The bowlers too were way off their mark but found their rhythm back in the final overs. They need to pull up their sleeve and bring out their A game if they’re to close the series in the second ODI itself.
Zimbabwe on the other had will be disappointed that they couldn’t cross the line. They let Pakistan recover from the situation of crisis which cost them an opportunity to take a lead in series. Brendon Taylor stroked a masterful century and kept Zimbabwe in the hunt for most part of the match He got good support from Wesley Madhevere who kept the score board ticking with a brisk 55. Zimbabwe has a decent batting but as a bowling unit they fall a little short. For Zimbabwe to win the match, their batsmen need to get few extra runs as a cushion for their bowlers.
