The wicket is predicted to have something in it for the pacers as well, and they will look to make full use of it by pitching the ball in the right areas.

As far as the spinners are concerned, they might not get as much help as there was during the ODI series between Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

The reason is the amount of dew, which is expected to play a decisive role in which way the match heads.

The team that wins the toss should look to bowl first, as it has been the way to go in this format of the game.

To add to that, the effect of dew will also have a say in the captain deciding to do so, as defending the target won't be easy in the second half of the game.

Having said that, merely winning the toss won't guarantee either team a win; it will have to restrict the opposition to a chasable total and bank on their batters to get the job done.

170-180 is what the team that bowl first should the team that bowls first in the PAK vs ZIM match should look to restrict the opposition to.

Anything more than the above-mentioned score would mean that the top order batters will have their task cut out and would be entrusted by the team management to get them off to a strong start.

The team batting first, on the other hand, should look to score a minimum of 180-190 runs to stay ahead in the game.

If, while batting first, the team can cross the 200 run mark and score an extra 10-15 runs, then it will fancy the chances of getting the opponent under pressure by picking up wickets in the first six overs.

Conclusion

Pakistan would want to maintain their good run at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, having won the majority of the matches that they have played at this venue in the recent past by registering a win in the first match of the tri-series.

Zimbabwe, on the other hand, would want to get back to winning ways in this format of the game after a loss in the last series against Afghanistan, courtesy of a win in the upcoming game.
