PAK vs ZIM Fantasy Wicket-Keeper
Brendan Taylor will be our wicket-keeper in this game. Taylor is one of the best batsmen of Zimbabwe and scored a brilliant century in the first game and he was decent in the second game as well. He is a brilliant batsman and is certainly an un-droppable option.
PAK vs ZIM Fantasy Batsmen
Imam ul Haq, Haider Ali, and Babar Azam will be our batsmen from Pakistan. Babar played a match-winning knock in the last game and would be eager to pounce upon his great form whereas Imam has also been good and has scored 107 runs in the series so far. Haider, on the other hand, made his ODI debut in the last game and is a wonderful youngster. All three of them are brilliant players.
[If Fakhar Zaman plays, pick him instead of Haider Ali]
PAK vs ZIM Fantasy All-Rounders
Iftikhar Ahmed will be our all-rounder from Pakistan. He picked a fifer in the last game and the pitch is expected to assist as well in this game because it is getting slower and slower.
Sikandar Raza and Sean Williams will be our all-rounders from Zimbabwe. Williams played an amazing knock in the last game and picked a wicket in his bowling as well. He is a technically sound player whereas Raza is also a really good wicket-taker and the surface will assist him as well in this game.
PAK vs ZIM Fantasy Bowlers
From Pakistan, the trio of Shaheen Afridi, Musa Khan, and Haris Rauf will make it into our team. The Pakistani pace bowlers are expected to rattle the batting-order of Zimbabwe and they are all class as well. Afridi is in wonderful form whereas Musa Khan also made a brilliant debut in the last game. It will be beneficial to pick all of them.
[If Wahab plays, pick him in place of anyone who isn’t playing among these three]
Tendai Chisoro will be our bowler from Zimbabwe. He has been really good with his left-arm slow bowling and has picked four wickets in the series so far. Chisoro has to be picked for this game as well.
Match Prediction: Pakistan will be the favourites to win this game.
