Pakistan won the toss and chose to bat first in the final match of the ODI series against Zimbabwe at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo.
The three-match series is evenly poised at 1-1, making this game a decisive one. Pakistan has decided to stick with the same playing XI as the previous match, while Zimbabwe made two changes to their lineup.
Historically, Pakistan has dominated Zimbabwe in ODIs. Out of 64 matches between the two teams, Pakistan has won 55, while Zimbabwe has managed only 6 victories. Two matches ended with no result.
When it comes to bilateral series, Pakistan has an impressive record against Zimbabwe. They have won 19 out of the 21 series played. Zimbabwe managed to draw only two series—in 1994/95 and again in 2013.
This decider presents an opportunity for Pakistan to maintain their strong track record against Zimbabwe and take home another series win. On the other hand, Zimbabwe will aim to upset the odds and secure a rare victory in a head-to-head contest.
As the match unfolds, fans from both nations will be watching closely to see who takes the final honors in this exciting series.
