ZIM vs PAK Dream11 Team Prediction, Probable XI: Preview

Welcome to our preview of the 1st match of the T20 tri series between Zimbabwe and Pakistan. We are covering Zim vs Pak Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable XI for the match.

Pakistan has announced the full strength squad for this series while many big players like Brendon Taylor, Greame Creamer and Sikandar Raza are missing from Zimbabwe squad.

Pakistan played their last series against Scotland which they won comfortably by 2-0. Captain Sarfaraz was the highest run scorer followed by Malik behind by 1 run only. Faheem Ashraf and Shadab Khan were the top bowlers with 3 wickets each in 2 games. Shehzad is not the part of the squad so Hafeez will open the inning who missed out Scotland tour.

Zimbabwe has not played international cricket for a while. The last international game they played was against UAE in World Cup Qualifiers. Sikandar Raza, Brendon Taylor, Greame Creamer, Craig Ervine and Sean Williams are missing from the squad. But some veterans like Chibhabha, Chigumbura, Masakadza and Mpofu are still there. Brian Chari was in good form in recent domestic tournament.
