ZIM vs PAK Dream11: Pakistan showed their class and won the first Test against Zimbabwe with ease. The hosts, Zimbabwe looked pale and had no answers to Pakistan bowlers’ probing questions. So it will be interesting to see whether an inspired Zimbabwe will turn up in the second Test and shook Pakistan. The visitors’ bowling attack looked lethal and although there are issues about their batting order, the experience and class means it isn’t a big issue. For Zimbabwe, it will be a tough ask to face a quality Pakistan team.
