Zimbabwe vs Pakistan 1st Test Preview

Zimbabwe and Pakistan were involved in a thrilling T20I series which the latter won 2-1. The two sides will now battle it out in red-ball cricket and both the fixtures are scheduled to be played at the Harare Sports Club. During the T20I series, the hosts registered their first-ever win in the format over Pakistan, something which they will take a lot of confidence from.

Zimbabwe proved their mettle in the longest format of the game last month when they drew the two-match Test series against Afghanistan 1-1. They will look to replicate their performances from the Afghanistan series and give Pakistan a run for their money. Notably, seasoned campaigners like Sikandar Raza and Craig Ervine have missed out owing to injuries whereas five uncapped players have been included in the squad.

Pakistan will also be riding high on confidence as they whitewashed South Africa in a two-match Test series at home in January. The Men in Green have a formidable squad and they certainly start as favourites to win the series. The Babar Azam-led side will look to dominate as they look to pocket the Test series against the minnows.
