PAK vs ZIM Today Match Prediction: Match 24 of the ICC T20 World Cup, will see Zimbabwe taking on Pakistan. With Pakistan losing out to India in their opening match, and with the Zimbabwe-South Africa match being called off due to rain, the remaining matches in Group 2 have become more significant. Both teams will be keen to get their first win on the board.
Pakistan looked in great touch in the match against India until Kohli played an innings of a lifetime. They looked like a completely sorted team in 90% of that match and will be hoping to convert that into a win against Zimbabwe. The latter on the other hand looked completely out of sorts against South Africa before rain stepped in between to hand over them an undeserved 1 point. Let’s see which of these teams will have the final laugh once they face each other tomorrow,

SA vs ZIM Probable Top Performers
Probable Best Batter
Sikandar Raza
Whatever Raza is touching now is turning into gold. He was the ICC T20 player of the month in September and has been in top form in this T20 World Cup. With his batting and occasional off-spin, he has been single-handedly carrying this Zimbabwe unit for quite some time now. Bet on him to score the most runs in this match.

4 | 136 | 34.00 | 172.15 | 0(2), 40(23), 14(8), 82(48) |
Probable Best Bowler
HARIS RAUF
Apart from the last two sixes, he conceded against Virat Kohli, he had been creating havoc for the Indian batters in the last match. Having played for Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash, Haris Rauf knows more about the Australian conditions than any other bowler playing tomorrow. He has been taking wickets for fun and has the ability to run through this Zimbabwean batting order with his brute pace.

PAK vs ZIM Prediction- Who Will Win Today’s Match Between SOUTH AFRICA and ZIMBABWE
- Pakistan is more well-balanced than Zimbabwe in all three departments of the game.
- On the fast bowling department, Zimbabwe’s pacers are no match to the young and fiery Pakistani pacers. In Shaheen, Naseem, and Rauf, Pakistan has 3 pure pacers who could rattle Zimbabwean batters in all phases of the innings.
- Sikandar Raza is probably the only threat Pakistani bowlers will have to be vary off. If they manage to keep his quiet, SA should win it quite easily.
- The last time these two sides faced off against each other in a T20I match, Pakistan defeated Zimbabwe by 24 runs.
