Zimbabwe will bat first in the 2nd ODI. They are looking to bowl under the lights and give their opponent a tough fight if they are able to make some good runs on the board.

Zimbabwe side remain unchanged for this match however Pakistan team has made a couple of changes in their line up. Haider Ali and Musa Khan are making their debut in today's match.

Zimbabwe looks in deep trouble and they may give a target of around 200 runs which is very much achievable on this flat wicket. Surprisingly Shaheen Shah Afridi did not took any wicket today however Iftikhar Ahmed took five wickets and will be the man of the match, if pakistan wins.
SC Williams was the only batsmen who played well and scored 75 runs. Rest of the batsmen were not able to stay on the wicket.
Its seems that Zimbabwe hopes of leveling the series will end today. They played good in the first match but showed a poor performance in today's match.

Zimbabwe really looks hopeless. If they are unable to compete against teams such as Pakistan, then I wonder how they will perform against teams such as England and Australia. The four experienced players (Brendan Taylor/Sean Williams/Craig Ervine/Sikandar Raza) are getting the runs, but none of the others in the playing XI are giving them any sort of support. Bowling in particular looks awful, with the absence of players such as Kyle Jarvis.

Very true, Zimbabwe need to play good against teams like Pakistan and India, if they want to grow and give some tough competitions to the big teams like England. Today Pakistan completely outclassed them and also won the series.

As expected, the match between Pakistan and Zimbabwe turned out to be another one sided affair. The Zimbabwe batsmen did a somewhat decent job, but their bowlers failed once again. I don't understand the point in having a series such as this one, between two teams of unequal strength. Zimbabwe needs to be kept out, at least until their performance improves.

I could understand if you say that they should perform well against Pakistan but India is ranked two and they are really close to England in taking over the number one spot and if they have a series then the ranking could change and India will move to the number one spot. Zimbabwe is not a competition for Pakistan and Bangladesh so there is no way they would stand a chance against India Wink.

Now Zimbabwae need some good time and better infrastructer to settle things for a good and fighter team because recently too many problems hurts them very badly and now they are very low in ranking and standard for them teams like Afghanistan and Ireland ok going against high ranked is not competition.

I agree with you. It would have been more enjoyable if Pakistan play against Bangladesh or Afghanistan. Then the series will more exciting. Zimbabwe should have hosted a series with a team like Canada or Kenya.
The reason Pakistan is playing against Zimbabwe might be they are not able to get a series against any other team and considering we are still in a pandemic they wanted some competition and match practice for the players as there were not playing for a long time. looking at their standard Zimbabwe should play against their level of competition but playing against Pakistan could help the players to become better.

I very rarely see Zimbabwe playing against the associate nations such as Scotland or Netherlands. 90% of the time, they play against the test nations. If they play against the smaller nations, then it could have been mutually beneficial. The matches would be competitive and the players from the associate nations would get a chance to play against quality payers such as Brendan Taylor and Sean Ervine.

What can you expect from this tournament all matches will be one-sided with Pakistan dominating all three. Ironically the last two matches Pakistan was not able to beat Zimbabwe convincingly. I was expecting a good victory from yesterday's match like 8 wicket win but unfortunately, that does not seem to happen. Expecting a convincing win by Pakistan in the last ODI.

I don't want to blame the Pakistan players. The Zimbabweans are not putting any pressure on them, and as a result the Pakistan players are getting complacent. They may be asking themselves what they are getting even if they win the series 3-0. There is hardly any media coverage outside Pakistan, and the fans are after IPL. A triangular or quadrangular series would have added more interest, but then conducting such a large tournament may not be possible for the PCB during this pandemic period.

Although Zimbabwe lost the series but i don't agree that they should not play tournaments and series with big teams. These series will help them to find their mistakes and become a better team. If they don't play international cricket, their performance can never be improved.

Then the same logic should be applicable for teams such as Scotland and Nepal, right? They never get a chance to play against the bigger teams, while Zimbabwe plays 95% of their matches against such teams. I have no problem if Zimbabwe plays 50% of their matches against the top teams. But why can't the ICC ask them to play the remaining 50% against teams such as Scotland?

As expected, Pakistan have started good in the 3rd ODI also and they are struggling at 62/3 at the end of 15. The run rate seems right for Zimbabwe but they have lost more wickets. Other teams may have recovered from this score but considering zimbabwe, it will be hard from them to establish a partnership from here and try to reach at least 250.

As usual, the experienced players are rescuing Zimbabwe. Sean Williams is batting with 57, while Brendan Taylor got out after scoring 56. They are over dependent on the 3-4 experienced players, with the others in playing XI just making up the numbers. They may end up with somewhere around 250, and it is not going to be enough to defeat Pakistan in this pitch.

Look like you under estimate the zimbabwe team. They have not only crossed 250+ but also they are bowling well and have taken two wickets for 20 runs only.
Earlier today we witness a great innings by SC Williams who made 118 not out. Although zimbabwe have lost the series but i think they are on top and will surely do an upset today.

Edit: 20/3 now  Shocked

Well.. Pakistan in some trouble here. They are 71/4 after 14.4 overs. Babar Azam is still out there and the required run rate is below 6 runs per over. Right now the match looks 50/50 for both the sides. Considering the fact that the Zimbabwe bowlers are inexperienced, Pakistan should be able to win this match. But first Babar should settle in and try to build a good partnership with Iftikhar Ahmed.

Today Pakistani batting line up takes this very easy and now paying for this 87/4 in 17 overs Zimbabwe need only one more wicket then surely they could be on driving seat Babar Azam is standing between Zimbabwe and their first victory of this series all other top order batsmen give their wickets very cheaply.

I am not sure who will win this match from here onwards. Suddenly we have an interesting thrilling ODI after sometime. Babar Azam is still batting for Pakistan and he is the last hope because the wickets are falling at the other end. If he gets out then there is no further batting left for the home team.

When Pakistan lost their fifth wicket for 88 runs i thought there is no way they are going to win and i was furious that i made a bet for Pakistan to win the match before the match started and i thought i messed up big time but Wahab Riaz stuck a partnership with Babar Azam who played a well paced innings and they can win from the situation now as they need 32 runs from the last 4 overs and it is easy to reach those considering the T20 era.

We are in Super Over !! What a drama in the last 2 overs.
Zimbabwe missed an easy chance to win the match and misfield resulted the Super Over.  

Pakistan now again favorite to win the super over.  Smiley
