PAK vs ZIM: Pakistan's Predicted Playing XI Against Zimbabwe – ICC T20 World Cup 2022 Super 12, Group 2, Match 24

Pakistan take on Zimbabwe in match 24 of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 in Perth on October 27. It is the third match of the day with South Africa playing Bangladesh first in Sydney followed by India taking on the Netherlands also in Sydney. The PAK vs ZIM match starts at 4.30 pm IST which is 7 pm local time.

Pakistan and Zimbabwe have played 17 T20Is  against each other with the Men in Green winning 16 games while the African nation just one. This game is an opportunity for The Men in Green to boost their net run-rate after their loss against India.

They should ideally go with the same XI that played against India. All they need is to put a clinical performance and the side will be back at its best. Fakhar Zaman can come in for Haider Ali as the one change in the side and bolster the batting line-up. The youngster looked a bit out of place in the first game. In this article, we take a look at Pakistan’s predicted playing XI for their game against Zimbabwe.

Mohammad Rizwan (WK)

Rizwan was also dismissed cheaply for 4 against India. He has been Mr. Consistent for Pakistan in the last couple of years and needs to be back at his best.

Shan Masood

Masood scored a crucial 52 in the game against India. He would look to keep up his form. He is one of the three left-handers in this batting lineup.

Fakhar Zaman

Zaman can bat anywhere in the top four. He missed out on the game against India but can come in place of Haider Ali. His batting at four will lengthen the batting lineup.

Iftikhar Ahmed

The lower-order batter slammed a crucial 52 in the game against India and played a role in taking Pakistan over 150. He will look to add to his tally.

Asif Ali

Pakistan’s designated finisher Asif Ali scored just two in the game against India. Against a weaker bowling attack in Zimbabwe, he will fancy his chances.

Mohammad Nawaz

Nawaz will be one of the two spinners in the Pakistan playing XI. He is yet to get over the dreaded final over against India in MCG.

Shadab Khan

Shadab will slot in at number eight. He is no mug with the bat and bowls his overs economically. He will have a role to play in the remaining games.

Shaheen Afridi

Afridi will lead the bowling attack against Zimbabwe. he bowled a wicketless spell against India. He went for 34 runs off his four over against India.

Haris Rauf

Haris took 2 for 36 in the game against India. He bowled that crucial 19th over with Kohli hitting him for 12 runs off his last two deliveries. He will look to have a better game.

Naseem Shah

The youngster concludes the likely playing XI against zimbabwe. he is the third seamer in the bowling lineup and one out of five regular bowlers in the side.
