PAK vs ZIM 2nd T20 Prediction & Betting Tips
Pakistan will take on Zimbabwe in the second match of the three T-20 series. The match will be played on the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi and is scheduled to begin at 3:30 PM local time.
As expected, Pakistan humbled Zimbabwe in the first T-20. It was a fairly easy win with Pakistan chasing the target of 157 with ease. Babar Azam carried on his good form from the ODI series and stroked a brilliant 82 to set up an impressive victory for his team. Mohammed Hafeez too joined the party with a breezy 36. Earlier, their bowlers did a splendid job in restricting Zimbabwe to a modest 156. Haris Rauf was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 2-25. He got good support from Wahab Riaz and Usman Qadir. Pakistan bowlers were spot on in terms of their lines and length and never let Zimbabwe cut loose at any point of time. Things are expected to be the same in the second T-20 as well. For Zimbabwe, Brendan Taylor and Sean Williams got starts but couldn’t convert them into a big score.
A magnificent 70 by Wesley Madhevere stretched their total to 156, which was never going to enough on this wicket. So what can Zimbabwe do now ? Can they make a comeback in the series ? For them to pull off a victory against this Pakistan line up is highly unlikely, but T-20 is a format where one can never be sure. Zimbabwe needs to get around 200 to challenge Pakistan. You can also not expect much from this Zimbabwe bowling attack. Overall, there is not much in favour of Zimbabwe but cricket is a funny game so you never know. We can hope for a close match atleast.

Weather Report
The winters are settling in Pakistan and it’s expected to be pleasant evening for the players.
Pitch Condition
Have you ever seen a green top in Pakistan? I haven’t. At least in the last decade or so. One can be sure that wickets there won’t be helpful for the bowlers.

Pakistan Team News & Playing 11
PAK Team News
Pakistan are coming back from an easy win and Babar might want to give few chances to their players warming the bench. However, we expect them to field the same XI for this match and change the combination for the final T-20
PAK Key Players
- Babar Azam - Carrying on his form from the ODI series, Babar Azam stroked a beautiful 82 in the first T-20. He’s one of the best T-20 batsmen and can be expected to come good in the second match too.
- Mohammed Hafeez- Mohammed Hafeez has been around for decades and in T-20, he's Pakistan’s most experienced player. He looked good in the second T-20 with a solid 36. He will aim to get this number past 50.
- Haris Rauf - Haris Rauf was at the top of his game in the first T-20. He is expected to continue his good run.
PAK Team Form
After winning the ODI series, Pakistan clinched the first T-20 too.
Pakistan Predicted Playing 11
Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam (c), Mohammed Hafeez, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Haider Ali, Khushdil Shah, Faheem Ashraf , Usman Qadir, Wahab Riaz, Haris Rauf, Mohammed Hasnain.
Zimbabwe Team News & Playing 11
ZIM Team news
Zimbabwe might want to tweak their combination a bit to get a little more strength in their batting order. Craig Ervine can be expected to feature in the match and so do Donald Tripiano and Wellington Masakadza.
ZIM Key Players
- Brendan Taylor –With a hundred and two half centuries in the ODI series, Taylor was the most successful Zimbabwean batsmen. He looked good in the first T-20 but couldn’t carry on to get a big one. He’ll be Zimbabwe’s biggest hope against Pakistan
- Elton Chigumbura – Considering that this is Chigumbura’s last international series, he would want to give his best performance. He is another player to watch out from Zimbabwe camp.
- Sean Williams – Sean Williams looked good in the brief inning of 25 he played in the last T-20. With his all-round ability, Williams has to play a crucial role if Zimbabwe has to pull off an upset.
ZIM Team Form
Zimbabwe is going through a long, lean patch.
Zimbabwe Predicted Playing 11
Chamu Chibhabha (c), Ryan Burl, Brendan Taylor (wk), Elton Chigumbura, Sean Williams, Wesley Madhevere, Sikandar Raza, Tendai Chisoro, Tendai Chatara, Blessing Muzarabani, Richard Ngarava
