Zimbabwe vs Pakistan 3rd T20 Prediction & Betting Tips
Zimbabwe’s win in the last game spiced up the series. The hosts will now aim to win their first series against Pakistan. The final game will be played at the Harare Sports Club and will get underway at 11:00 AM local time
So Zimbabwe finally has a win in T20Is against Pakistan. An inspirational bowling performance from Luke Jongwe humiliated Pakistan as the visitors failed to chase a mediocre target of 119. We mentioned this earlier as well that the middle order for Pakistan is very vulnerable and if the top order fails to fire, they can be under trouble.
Pakistan will now have a lot of pressure to perform as a loss against Zimbabwe ahead of the T20 World Cup will be a massive set back. Babar Azam will need to take a lot more responsibility now as Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman will play the natural game. The skipper needs to hold one end and other players can revolve around him. If they can post a score around 150, they do have the bowling to restrict the hosts.
For Zimbabwe, their confidence will be sky rocketing. Only if they can bat well, and with Taylor back, they do have resources to post a challenging total, they can expect to claim their maiden series victory over Pakistan. As a bowling unit, they have bowled well and once again, if they can knock out the top order for not much, they can get the Pakistan batting under pressure.

Zimbabwe Team News & Playing 11
ZIM Team News
We have no update as to why Sean Williams didn’t feature in the last game. Was it because of an injury or illness or he was rested. We don’t think Zimbabwe can drop him thus if he is fit, he should be back in the team. Also, Craig Ervine has been ruled out of the series due to a calf muscle injury.
ZIM Key Players
- Brendan Taylor - Arguable the best Zimbabwe batsmen, Taylor will have a huge responsibility to take Zimbabwe to a decent total. He is a very skillful batsmen and we’ll put our money on him to come good.
- Sean Williams - Williams is a key member of this Zimbabwe set up. He is a very handy all rounder and is one of the pillars of their batting. Williams is also expected to play well.
- Luke Jongwe - He has been magnificent in the series and has picked up 6 wickets in 2 games, including a match winning 4 wicket haul in the second T20I. He once will pose a stern challenge for Pakistan.
ZIM Team Form
The win in the second T20I has proved that Zimbabwe are capable of defeating Pakistan on their day. They have actually played better cricket than Pakistan. However, they will need few more runs from their batsmen.
Zimbabwe Predicted Playing 11
Tinashe Kamunhukamwe, Wesley Madhevere, Brendan Taylor (c), Tarisai Musakanda, Tadiwanashe Maruman/Sean Williamsi, Ryan Burl, Regis Chakabva (wk), Luke Jongwe, Wellington Masakadza, Blessing Muzarabani, Richard Ngarava
Pakistan Team News & Playing 11
PAK Team News
Pakistan are really struggling with their batting and might look to bring in Haider Ali or Sharjeel Khan in the XI.
PAK Key Players
- Babar Azam - Not much need to be said about the class of Babar Azam. The Pakistan skipper has been a consistent performer in every format. He played a handy knock of 41 in the last game but couldn’t take Pakistan over the line. He will come back hard and with more intent in the next game
- Mohammed Rizwan - Rizwan had a rare failure in the last match but the kind of form he is in, he can’t have two back to back failures. He too is expected to come good with the bat.
- Usman Qadir - Zimbabwe batsmen are struggling to pick Usman Qadir and once again , he will be their biggest threat from the Pakistan bowlers.
PAK Team Form
Pakistan as a team has been fine but the form of the middle order is a massive cause of concern.
Pakistan Predicted Playing 11
Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Babar Azam (c), Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Hafeez, Haider Ali, Danish Aziz/Haider Ali, Faheem Ashraf, Mohammad Nawaz, Usman Qadir, Mohammad Hasnain, Haris Rauf

🏆 Zimbabwe vs Pakistan Prediction
Despite their loss in the last game, Pakistan are slightly ahead than the hosts. However, they can’t be complacent as Zimbabwe have shown that they can’t be taken lightly. Also Pakistan need to get their batting vows sorted out else they can be under trouble. As of now, the quality in the top order makes Pakistan as favourites.
