ZIM vs PAK Dream11 Zimbabwe vs Pakistan T20I 21 April

ZIM vs PAK Dream11: Pakistan’s dominating show against Proteas across the white-ball formats has set the tone for them before heading into the 3-match T20I series against the minnows Zimbabwe.

The tour includes three T20Is and 2 Tests and all the matches will be played in the Harare Sports Club in Harare. Pakistan is booming with confidence after a sumptuous show in the recently concluded tour of South Africa. Irrespective of the fact that South Africa was fielding their B-team, Pakistan got the better of them in both ODI and T20Is and would be looking forward to carrying on with the momentum.

As far as the hosts are concerned, after drawing levels in the 2-match Test series by 1-1 against Afghanistan, they got thumped in the 3-match T20I series 3-0. Having lost all the momentum in that series in UAE, Zimbabwe would look to come up with a better performance playing at home.

There’s no one denying the fact that Pakistan is definitely the favorites to start the series, but can we expect a turnaround from the hosts? Well, we will have to wait and see.
