ZIM vs PAK Dream11: Zimbabwe showed plenty of promise in the T20I series and have earned respect from their opponents Pakistan. But can they repeat their heroics in the longest format of the game?

So expect Pakistan to be more determined and focused. This is the first time Zimbabwe is playing a Test against a team other than Afghanistan and Bangladesh. So they too will be excited to show their mettle.
