PAK vs ZIM 3rd ODI Prediction & Betting Tips
Pakistan will take on Zimbabwe in the final 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 delivered a complete all round performance in the second game, getting rid of any rustiness there was in the opening encounter. With 2 wins in 2 games, Pakistan are marching towards an emphatic clean sweep. They looked clumsy with the bat in the first ODI but were on the top of their game in the previous match. Imam ul Haq played yet another decent knock, scoring a brisk 49 at the top while the skipper Babar Azam responded his batting failure in the first game with a solid 77. Pakistan was either ways a strong bowling team and this time it was Iftikhr Ahmed who torn apart the Zimbabwe batting with an excellent 5 wicket hall. He got good support from Muhammad Musa and Haris Rauf. Overall, Pakistan look too good for this Zimbabwe team and they shouldn’t sweat much in making in 3-0.
Zimbabwe after showing enough intent in the first ODI looked complete out of touch in the previous game – An issue they’ve been associated with them since decades. There is no doubt that Zimbabwe has enough talent in their team but their temperament is always in question. Rarely do we see Zimbabwe delivering back to back performance which is the prime reason for the downfall of their cricket. Brendon Taylor has looked good in the series, so does Sean Williams. Zimbabwe doesn’t boast of a strong bowling attack thus if Zimbabwe has to save themselves from a humiliating whitewash, their batsmen need to bat exceptionally well. Brendan Taylor, Sean Williams and Craig Ervine will be the key for them.
