Pakistan have been plagued by batting problems in recent series. They performed poor against England at home and also in the tri-series in New Zealand, despite winning the series. We've been saying for a long time that if Pakistan's opening partnership fails to put some big runs on the board, they won't be able to put up a competitive total. We witnessed this in their previous encounter against India, where Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan struggled and managed only 159 runs.
Shan Masood and Iftikhar Ahmed fought hard, but Shadab Khan, Haidar Ali, Mohammad Nawaz, and Asif Ali failed to score any significant runs. Pakistan currently has no choice but to play with these hitters. Iftikhar Ahmed and Shan Masood both hit fifty in the preceding encounter, while Shaheen Afridi finished third with 16 runs off eight balls.
Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe is not a strong or experienced T20 cricket squad, and they just lost a series. They had previously lost series against Namibia and Afghanistan. After losing these series, they made some crucial changes to their team and fared well in some early qualification matches for the ICC T20 World Cup. In this competition, they defeated the West Indies and Scotland. Their performance versus South Africa in an unfinished contest was likewise underwhelming. In nine overs, they scored 79 runs.
Zimbabwe's top batting order, including Regis Chakabva, Sean Williams, Sikandar Raza, and captain Craig Ervine, completely failed to deliver. They didn't even make it into the double digits. Wesley Madhevere and Milton Shumba both performed admirably. Wesley Madhevere was their leading run-scorer, with 35 runs on 18 balls with four boundaries and one massive six.
