Pakistan vs Zimbabwe

Babar Azam will be leading Pakistan in the shorter format and the hosts are on a winning streak, having won their last six ODI encounters, barring the abandoned matches. Also, Pakistan’s record against Zimbabwe is an impressive one as they’ve won 52 out of the 59 ODIs played between these two sides. Although Pakistan have dominated the visitors over the years, the positive for Zimbabwe is the presence of experienced campaigners like Brendan Taylor, Craig Ervine, Sikandar Raza and Sean Williams. Toss and teams are not far away, stay tuned in for all the updates..

10:50 am local time: International cricket is back! After a break of few months, it’s time for some international cricket once again as Pakistan take on Zimbabwe in three ODIs and three T20Is starting today at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Zimbabwe last played an international match in March against Bangladesh, hence they’ll be quite rusty as they’ve been out of action. Pakistan, on the other hand, have been quite active. Few of their players have been playing domestic cricket since their tour of England, therefore it shouldn’t be a problem for their players. Playing in home conditions gives them an added advantage.

Cricket in Pakistan over the last decade has never been about the result. It was always symbolic, a mark of friendship, a mark of things returning to normal for a country thrown into cricketing exile owing to security concerns. The fans, unable to watch their players live at the grounds, and the players, playing to empty stands in the UAE.

This is the new normal, the normal of the “bubble”. It’s a normal where the best news pre-match comes not from the practice, but from a PCB media release that states that all the 107 Covid Test samples including swabs of players from both sides and their support staff along with the match officials have returned negative. Yes, such are the times.

So while Pakistan have lived the bubble life in England and are now set to get back on the field after a three-month break, although they had a fair amount of domestic cricket keeping them busy and match fit, Zimbabwe are new to this, playing their first international game since early March.

It’s not an entirely new look, but Pakistan have a few notable changes. It might seem like a while since Babar Azam was made white-ball skipper, but given the overdose of T20Is last year in a bid to prepare for the now-cancelled T20 World Cup, this is the first time he’s going to captain in an ODI.
