Weakened Zimbabwe Side Hoping to Stop Red-Hot Pakistan

Pakistan dominated the hosts in the series opener at Queens Sports Club Bulawayo with a thumping 201 runs victory. With big names missing in Zimbabwe squad, it would be an uphill challenge to bring down the visitors who are in astounding form.

However, as Sarfaraz’s men are known for their unpredictability, it would remain to be seen whether they allow any hiccups or not.
