ODI
On Tuesday, Zimbabwe hopes to continue their momentum from their emphatic win in the opening ODI by striking back hard against Pakistan at Bulawayo and sending shockwaves through their camp.
Play began well for the hosts, with Joylord Gumbie and Tadiwanashe Marumani creating an excellent partnership. However, an unfortunate mix-up led to rapid wicket falls before Sikandar Raza and Sean Williams took advantage of an error to decimate their middle order with ease.
Blessing Muzarabani and Richard Ngarava continued their fine bowling performance, maintaining tight lines to put batters off balance. But an incredible 62-run partnership between Sikandar Raza and Richard Ngarava gave the hosts some momentum and carried them past 205.
Pakistan wrist spinner Sufiyan Muqeem quickly put an end to the match by taking five wickets to seal an emphatic win for Pakistan in just over six overs, giving them their fourth straight one-day international win and setting up another decisive triumphant performance when play moves to Abu Dhabi on Thursday.
Zimbabwe were particularly surprised at losing at home for only the second time since 2010 – it will undoubtedly leave them thinking differently moving into Thursday’s match, where victory would give them a 2-0 advantage against their hosts.

Yet even with all their success, they still face many obstacles and challenges ahead.
Pakistan’s bowlers were successful in maintaining a run rate above 8.0 while their batsmen made a commendable effort towards reaching their target. Unfortunately, after powerplay their early aggression fizzled out and they could not maintain momentum; Raza and Tadiwanashe Marumani provided hope, but their partnership crumbled midway.
The second One Day International will take place in Bulawayo and is anticipated to be an action-packed game. Pakistan’s consistent performances have given them an excellent chance at winning this series, and their aggressive tactics may make for a difficult match against Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe must avoid early exit and secure a spot in the semifinals in order to beat Pakistan, who is expected to become an immediate challenger against them going forward. In order to beat them they’ll need to focus their efforts if they hope to become inaugural champions of this new era of cricket; an outstanding series could showcase Zimbabwe as being capable of competing on world stages against much larger opposition.
