Pakistan v Zimbabwe 2nd T20I – Match Preview

While Zimbabwe have beaten Pakistan in ODI cricket, they are still chasing their maiden victory over the sub-continental team in the shortest format of the international game.

The African unit showed plenty of determination in the series opener, but are going to need a lot more from their bowlers in particular if they are to win here.

Where: Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Pakistan

When: Sunday, 8 November 2020

Start time: 15:00 (IST) 10:30 (GMT)

Pitch conditions: It’ll be interesting to see if the toss-winning captain chooses to bat first again. If the same pitch is used, it is probably going to be a bit slower and a final total of 160 could be competitive.

Weather conditions: The forecast suggests the weather will be hotter on Sunday than it was on Saturday. No rain is predicted, so the dry conditions could offer the spinners some bite off the deck.

Pakistan v Zimbabwe 2nd T20I – Team News

Pakistan handed a debut to leg-spinner Usman Qadir for the first T20I. He took the key wicket of Sean Williams and probably did enough to be retained.

The hosts played just one specialist spinner in the series opener. It’s probable they will leave out a seamer for a slow bowler on Sunday. Iftikhar Ahmed is an option. He took a five-for in the preceding ODI series.

Zimbabwe could go into the second match with an unchanged team despite defeat in the first. But they will need a lot more from those who bat around Wesley Madhevere. Brendan Taylor’s role will be key.

Bowling-wise, Madhevere and Blessing Muzarabani are a solid combination with the new ball. But the visitors could be tempted to open the bowling with a spinner – maybe Williams.

Bet on Rauf to Be the Top Bowler for Pakistan

Rauf played several National T20 Cup at the stadium for this match recently and has assessed conditions well to perform superbly.

Bank on Zimbabwe to Have the Highest Opening Partnership

If Brendan Taylor and Chamu Chibhabha open the batting again, they will be hard-pressed to outscore Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman.

But Zimbabwe to have the highest opening partnership at 34.0 with 22Bet is a bet worth taking. It just takes one delivery to make this a great value pick.

Make Madhevere Your Top Batsman for Zimbabwe

Wesley Madhevere has been an excellent addition to Zimbabwe’s international cause. A talented batsman and bowler, he is a big boost to the XI as a solid all-rounder.

Madhevere top-scored for the tourists in the series opener. Having noted the conditions and opposition bowlers, he is a good price at 6.0 with 1xBet to be the visitors’ highest-scorer again.
