Pakistan Team News & Analysis
Pakistan is in excellent form, having recently swept an ODI series against Sri Lanka and won a T20I series against South Africa. They are confident playing at home.
The team is boosted by the return of star batter Babar Azam, who scored a century in the last ODI series. Fakhar Zaman and Saim Ayub are also key players who provide fast scoring at the top.
The pace attack is world-class, led by Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah. They are supported by spinner Abrar Ahmed, who has been very effective in home conditions.
Zimbabwe Team News & Analysis
Zimbabwe comes into this tournament after a tough 0-3 loss in a recent T20I series against Afghanistan. They need to find their form quickly.
Their hopes rest heavily on captain Sikandar Raza, who is a very important player with both bat and ball. All-rounder Ryan Burl also adds depth to the team.
Young batters like Brian Bennett and Tadiwanashe Marumani are seen as key players who need to score big runs to challenge Pakistan’s strong total.
Their bowling attack has been hurt by the absence of their key fast bowler, Blessing Muzarabani, due to injury. The remaining bowlers, like Richard Ngarava and Brad Evans, must step up.
