- Zimbabwe have been completely outclassed by a full-strength and in-form Pakistani team in this series.
- The hosts are ruing the absence of many of their senior members and their strategy of changing their line-up frequently has backfired.

Toss Prediction
Majority of the one-day internationals played at the Queens Sports Club in recent times have been won by the side batting first. Also, the wicket for this Sunday's game is expected to get a little slower during the second period of play which is why the toss-winning team is more likely to bat first.

Zimbabwe Team News & Playing 11
ZIM Team News
Zimbabwe made a couple of changes to their side in the last game - Donald Tiripano was brought back and Tinashe Kamunhukamwe made his ODI debut while Chamu Chibhabha and Prince Masvaure were left out. We expect the hosts to retain the same line-up for this match.
ZIM Key Players
As has been the case throughout this series, Zimbabwe will once again rely heavily on their captain Hamilton Masakadza to lead from the front when it comes to batting. He is one of the most experienced batsman in the side and he has the potential to score big after getting set. The hosts, however, will also need the likes of Elton Chigumbura, Peter Moor and Ryan Murray to step up. Blessing Muzarabani and Wellington Masakadza seem to be Zimbabwe's best bets with the ball. While the former is a top candidate to provide the early breakthrough with the new ball, the latter will come into play once the ball gets a little softer. None of the other bowlers have looked to cause any trouble to the Pakistani batsmen.
ZIM Recent Form
For Zimbabwe, this ODI series has turned out to be nothing less than a nightmare. They were thrashed by 201 runs in the opening game and were then bowled out for just 67 runs in the third game which was their lowest ODI total against Pakistan. Their batting has been a big let down in this series while their bowling too does not inspire much confidence. The hosts are clearly struggling to put up a competitive performance in the absence of their senior pros.

Tinashe Kamunhukamwe, Tarisai Musakanda, Hamilton Masakadza (c), Peter Moor, Elton Chigumbura, Ryan Murray (wk), Donald Tiripano, Tendai Chisoro, Wellington Masakadza, Blessing Muzarabani, Richard Ngarava
Pakistan Team News & Playing 11
PAK Team News
Pakistan have not made a change to their side since the last two matches and they might as well go unchanged for this final game of their tour. They may, however, consider to tweak their batting order as the middle order has not had much opportunity to spend time at the crease.
PAK Key Players
Fakhar Zaman has been in prolific form throughout this series. The opening batsman is topping the runs charts with an incredible average and he is definitely the key man for Pakistan at the top of the order. His partner Imam-ul-Haq too has been consistent and one can expect him to play a quickfire knock in this match. Babar Azam and Shoaib Malik are the other two batsmen who can really frustrate the Zimbabwean bowlers if not dismissed early on in their innings. Fast bowlers Faheem Ashraf and Usman Khan have been the best bowlers for the visitors in this series and the onus will be on them to make the early inroads into the Zimbabwean batting line-up. Spinners Shadab Khan and Yasir Shah are also expected to make a big impact here and they will look to make sure that there is no respite for the batsmen from either end.
PAK Recent Form
Pakistan are on a roll at the moment and they seem to be enjoying their time against a hapless Zimbabwean side. They have looked a much better side on this tour - first winning the T20 tri-series beating Australia in the final and now pulverizing the hosts to pulp in the ongoing ODI series. This tour has definitely helped in reducing the scars they got after the hammering at the hands of New Zealand.
Pakistan Predicted Playing 11
Fakhar Zaman, Imam-ul-Haq, Babar Azam, Shoaib Malik, Asif Ali, Sarfraz Ahmed (c/wk), Shadab Khan, Faheem Ashraf, Yasir Shah, Junaid Khan, Usman Khan

🏆 Zimbabwe vs Pakistan Prediction
Zimbabwe have tried everything they could without their big guns in the side but nothing has worked for them and they seem to now have run out of ideas to overcome this mighty Pakistani team. The hosts have failed to click as a unit and they have not been able to stretch the tourists at all. They have even tried rotating some of their players but that too has not done them any good. Zimbabwe will desperately want to escape some embarrassment by finishing the series off on a positive note but considering how dominating Pakistan have been against them, we believe that Sunday could end up being yet another forgetful day for the hosts.
Final Verdict: Back Pakistan to beat Zimbabwe in the fifth ODI.
