Pakistan v Zimbabwe 3rd ODI – Match Preview

Zimbabwe gave Pakistan a real scare in the first ODI before the second was a little more comfortable.

While the home side should prove too strong again, Zimbabwe will want to put in another spirited showing, especially if Pakistan elects to give a few youngsters a chance.

The added motivation for Pakistan is that the win would take them top of the ICC Cricket World Cup points table.

Pakistan v Zimbabwe 3rd ODI – Team News

Haider Ali got his opportunity in the second ODI and looks like he’ll continue in this one now the series victory is in the bag.

He replaced Haris Sohail who had previously shone in the first match. They may consider switching the order to get them both in the side.

Shadab Khan has missed both clashes through injury so could play if he has recovered.

Another that could also be looked at is 20-year-old batsman Abdullah Shafique. He caught the eye playing for Central Punjab in the recent National T20 Cup.

Rohail Nazir could be given an opportunity with the gloves should they want to rest Mohammad Rizwan.

Zimbabwe are unlikely to make too many changes after some good performances so far.

That said, they could take the opportunity to have a closer look at Saudi Arabi-born all-rounder Faraz Akram or 19-year-old all-rounder Milton Shumba ow the series has been lost.

Pakistan v Zimbabwe 3rd ODI – Betting Tips and Prediction

It is hard to look past Pakistan for the win here but their extremely short price isn’t appealing from a betting point of view.

Looking at other markets is the way to go.

Haider Ali For Top Batsman

Haider Ali got a chance in the second ODI and that should have been enough to shake the cobwebs off ahead of this one.

He hit a 24-ball 29 and can build on that showing in this match.

He showed his ability when flaying a half-century in the final T20I against England prior to this series. The 20-year-old will be determined to take his opportunity by showing what he can do again.

His price of 4.5 with 1xBet looks too big, even if he has some firepower coming in ahead of him.

Chisoro is Value Bowler Pick

Tendai Chisoro has been in fine form with the ball this series. The Zimbabwean has bagged two wickets in each of the games so far.

Backing him to continue that form looks a good bet and it is a surprise that he doesn’t head his team’s top bowler market.

He accounted for the wickets of both openers last time out and can be backed at 4.o with bet365 to add to his series tally.

Raza to Get Under 33.5 Performance Points

Sikandar Raza has taken a single wicket in each of the games so far but has not managed many runs with the bat.

His price of 1.83 with 1xBet to get under 33.5 player performance points looks a great bet.

One wicket here wouldn’t be enough and would leave him with plenty to do with the bat in hand to reach that amount. If he was to come up shirt with the ball then the chances become even more unlikely.

Remember, he gets 20 points for ever wicket, one point for every run and 10 for a catch in the field.
