Zimbabwe vs Pakistan 2nd Test Prediction & Betting Tips
Zimbabwe will take on Pakistan in the 2nd Test at Harare Sports Club. The match is set to get underway at 11:00 AM local time
Zimbabwe punched above their weight in the T20I series but to expect a similar performance from them in the Tests was a little too much to ask and as expected, they were thrashed by Pakistan in the 1st game.
In T20Is, one good performance can win you the contest but to win a Test match, you need to dominate your opposition for five days which is not easy for a team like Zimbabwe who hardly plays Test cricket.
For Pakistan, their batsmen made merry on the venom less Zimbabwe bowling while Hasan Ali led attack was too hot to handle for the hosts. Unfortunately for Zimbabwe, not much is expected to change for the second Test either. There is just too much difference in quality between both teams. The chances for Zimbabwe beating this Pakistan team is next to negligible.

Zimbabwe Team News & Playing 11
ZIM Team News
Zimbabwe might look to make few changes in their playing XI. While all can't be predicted, Luke Jongwe is very likely to make a cut into the team. Also if Sean Williams is fit, it will be a massive boost for the hosts.
ZIM Key Players
- Brendan Taylor - If there is one Zimbabwe batsman that is good enough to face this Pakistan attack, it is Brendan Taylor. Being the skipper, there is an additional responsibility on him and he will be keen to live up to the expectations.
- Sean Williams - Another player that is expected to do well is Sean Williams. If he is fit and playing, it will bolster the overall balance of the team. He is a top batter and an equally good spinner as well.
- Donald Tiripano - Tiripano picked up 3 wickets in the last match. Of late, he has shown good skills with the bat as well. Zimbabwe will expect another good outing from him.
ZIM Team Form
Zimbabwe don't play a lot of Test cricket. They tied their previous series with Afghanistan 1-1 but beating Pakistan will be a different challenge all together.
Zimbabwe Predicted Playing 11
Kevin Kasuza, Prince Masvaure, Sean Williams/ Milton Shumba, Roy Kaia, Tarisai Musakanda, Brendan Taylor, Regis Chakabva (wk), Donald Tiripano, Blessing Muzarabani, Tendai Chisoro, Richard Ngarava

PAK Team News
Having won the first game, Pakistan might look to Test their bench strength. Players like Shakeel, Agha Salman and Shahnawaz Dhani can get a game.
PAK Key Players
- Babar Azam - Babar Azam was dismissed for a first ball duck in the last match. It was a rare incident and one can trust him to bounce back strongly.
- Fawad Alam - Fawad Alam's return to Pakistan team has been very pleasing. In the four series' he has played post his return, he has scored three hundreds. He top scored for Pakistan in the last match with a solid 140. He can be backed to come good in the next game as well
- Hasan Ali - Hasan Ali destroyed the Zimbabwe batting and picked up 9 wickets in the match. He was too hot to handle and will once again pose a stern challenge to the hosts.
PAK Team Form
Pakistan has been on a roll of late. Tests, ODIs, T20Is, they have been undefeated in the series' for a while.
Pakistan Predicted Playing 11
Imran Butt, Abid Ali, Mohammed Rizwan(wk), Babar Azam (c), Azhar Ali, Fawad Alam, Abdullah Shafiq, Faheem Ashraf/Agha Salman, Nauman Ali, Sajid Khan, Shaheen Afridi, Sajid Khan/Shahnawaz Dhani, Hasan Ali
