ZIM vs PAK 3rd ODI Dream11 Team Prediction and Probable XI: Preview

Hello and Welcome to our preview for Zimbabwe versus Pakistan match. We are covering ZIM vs PAK 3rd ODI Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for third ODI match. The match is to be played at Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe.

Pakistan has won the first two matches of series comfortably. First by 201 runs and another by 9 wickets. Pakistan will hope to continue its winning streak and seal series win in third Odi and try their bench strength in remaining two matches.

Key performers for Pakistan in the series yet are :

Fakhar Zaman – 177 runs
Imam-ul-haq – 172 runs
Usman Khan – 6 wickets
Hasan Ali – 4 wickets
Shadab Khan – 4 wickets.

Zimbabwe without their regular players is very weak and facing a top team further deprives their chances. Zimbabwe’s performance with these in-experienced players is still average and they are putting their best effort against Pakistan’s mighty batting and bowling attack. In first match, They were able to take 7 wickets of Pakistan’s team whereas in second ODI they were able to score a total near to 200 which is acceptable with such a weak side.

Their positives yet in the series are fifties by H Masakadza and P Moor and good first spell by B Muzarabani though he has been wicketless.

To give competition to Pakistan team, The bowlers need to be consistent and take wickets at regular intervals and batsman should play wisely and not lose their wicket unnecessarily.

Third ODI will be the virtual decider and Pakistan will hope to seal the series with third consecutive win whereas Zimbabwe will put their best effort to open their account in the series.
