Pakistan will play Zimbabwe at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, on Thursday, December 5. With two victories in the first two games, the visitors have already secured the series, so it is a dead rubber match.
Salman Ali Agha, leading the team in the absence of senior players, has guided Pakistan to dominate the series. They secured a commanding 57-run victory in the first match, followed by an emphatic 10-wicket triumph in the second T20I, leaving the hosts stunned.
All eyes will be on Saim Ayub and Salman, who are yet to showcase their full potential with the bat. On the other hand, Zimbabwe will be determined to salvage their pride and avoid a series whitewash.
Interestingly, all three matches are being played at the same venue, and the pitch conditions are expected to evolve.
Queens Sports Club Pitch Report
The pitch at Queen’s Sports Club in Bulawayo favors fast bowlers early on, providing swing and some seam movement with the new ball. However, as the surface dries under the sun, it becomes more conducive to batting, offering consistent pace and bounce.
Spinners might extract some turn during the middle overs, but batting conditions improve considerably as the day progresses. Fast bowlers can still make an impact later in the game by utilizing cutters and focusing on hard lengths with the older ball.
