Pakistan vs Zimbabwe T20 World Cup: Probable XIs, pitch report, weather forecast, and live streaming details for Match 24

Match 24 of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 will see Pakistan take on Zimbabwe at the Perth Stadium in a Group 2 fixture of the Super 12 stage of the tournament.

Pakistan didn’t have the best of starts to the T20 World Cup 2022. They suffered a four-wicket loss against India in their opening game in a nail-biting contest. It went down to the wire and Pakistan failed to hold their nerves in the end.

After electing to bat first, Pakistan posted 159 on the board, thanks to fifties from Shan Masood (52*) and Iftikhar Ahmed (51). The bowlers bowled brilliantly up front while defending the total and reduced India to 31/4 but failed to step up as the Indian side chased down the total on the last ball of the match. Babar Azam’s men will now have to be on their toes to bounce back.

Zimbabwe qualified for the Super 12 stage of the competition after topping Group B. In their first game of the Super 12s, they faced South Africa at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart. Due to rain, the game was abandoned, with the two sides sharing a point each.

The game was reduced to nine overs per side. Zimbabwe batted first and only managed to score 79 at the end of their innings, thanks to a cameo of 35* off 18 balls from Wesley Madhevere. The bowlers struggled as the Proteas raced to 51 in three overs.

Rain arrived and no further play was possible as the game was called off. Zimbabwe will feel very lucky on grabbing a point and will be eyeing their first win of the Super 12s on Thursday.
