Pakistan are favorites to win
Pakistan and Zimbabwe go head to head in Match 24 of the 2022 T20 World Cup on Thursday evening at the Perth Stadium. Pakistan were involved in one of the great T20 World Cup matches on Sunday but lost to India by four wickets. Zimbabwe’s first second round game ended in a no-result against South Africa. Read on as we preview this match. The Super 12 stage game begins at 19:00 local time in Perth.
Pakistan have been in good form in this format but will still be very down after losing to India from a very strong position on Sunday. However, they have an excellent record over Zimbabwe and will be confident.
Zimbabwe have struggled when playing against the stronger teams but overall have a good IT20 record in 2022. If they win this match then it will be the biggest shock of the Super 12 stage so far.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on Sky Sports Cricket, Star Network, Fox Sports, ESPN and PTV.
Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Sky Go and Disney+ Hotstar
Three of the four matches at the Perth Stadium have been won by the team who fielded first. We predict that both skippers will choose to bowl first if they win the toss.
A par score will be around 160 on this pitch. There is pace in the wicket but finding the boundary square of the wicket is hard work with long distances to travel.
Cloudy to begin with before clear evening skies take over in Perth. There is no chance of rain with the temperature between 18 and 15 degrees throughout.

Left-arm pace bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi made his competitive return for Pakistan in the clash against India and, although he went wicketless, we expect him to open the bowling again in this fixture. There was not much wrong with the team performance on Sunday and we anticipate the same XI to be picked.
Pakistan have lost two of their last four IT20s but have won four of their last six.

Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Babar Azam (c), Shan Masood, Iftikhar Ahmed, Shadab Khan, Haider Ali, Mohammad Nawaz, Asif Ali, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah
Pace bowler Richard Ngarava was forced to leave the field after slipping due to heavy rain whilst bowling against South Africa on Monday. However, he left the field and did not aggravate the injury and is expected to be fit to play in this match.
Zimbabwe have lost only two of their last 12 IT20s but have struggled against sides ranked higher than themselves.
Regis Chakabva (wk), Craig Ervine (c), Sean Williams, Sikandar Raza, Wesley Madhevere, Milton Shumba, Ryan Burl, Luke Jongwe, Richard Ngarava, Tendai Chatara, Blessing Muzarabani
Pakistan have dominated Zimbabwe across the 17 IT20s between the sides since their first meeting in October 2008. Zimbabwe’s only won came in April 2021 when they won by 19 runs in April 2021 in Harare.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Last 5 | 5 | 4 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
Zimbabwe have won two games in the tournament so far but are not expected to win in Perth. The bookies have Pakistan as clear favourites.

Although Zimbabwe have experienced batters and some threatening bowlers, their best players are nowhere near as strong or consistent as Pakistan’s top players.
Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam and Shan Masood are our batting choices for Pakistan. Masood hit 52 not out against India on Sunday in Melbourne.
We recommend Sean Williams, Craig Ervine and Sikandar Raza with the bat for Zimbabwe. Ervine hit 58 against Scotland two games ago.
We are backing Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf and Mohammad Nawaz with the ball for Pakistan. Nawaz took 2-42, including the wickets of Hardik Pandya and Dinesh Karthik on Sunday.
Blessing Muzarabani, Sikandar Raza and Tendai Chatara are our bowling picks for Zimbabwe. Raza has taken five wickets in the tournament so far.
With both teams emerging from their opening games without a win earlier this week, there is additional pressure for both Pakistan and Zimbabwe ahead of this fixture. Responding to their defeat to India, we expect Pakistan to put in a very strong performance and to win this match.
