How to Watch: Pakistan vs Zimbabwe First T20I

After an intense ODI series, Zimbabwe and Pakistan are set to renew their rivalry in the T20I format. The first match of the series will take place on December 1 (Sunday) at the Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo.

The T20I opener promises to deliver high-octane action as Pakistan seeks to build on its recent ODI success, while Zimbabwe aims for redemption on home soil.

The ODI leg of Pakistan’s 2024 tour of Zimbabwe concluded with a dominant 99-run victory for the visitors in the third and final match. Despite losing the rain-affected first ODI by 80 runs, Pakistan stormed back to claim the series 2-1 with emphatic wins in the second and third games.

For the T20I series, both teams will feature new dynamics:

• Zimbabwe: Sikandar Raza will lead the team in the absence of Craig Ervine and Sean Williams.
