Team Prediction -
Team 1 (For H2H Leagues) -
1. R Murray
2. I Ul Haq (VC-2)
3. B Azam / Y Shah (Good Punt)
4. H Masakdaza
5. P Moor
6. F Zaman (C)
7. F Ashraf
8. S Khan / Y Shah (Good Punt)
9. U Khan (VC)
10. D Tripano
11. J Khan
- F Zaman needs 18 runs in this match to create a world record of fastest 1000 in men's cricket.
- So F Zaman will definitely be playing this match, he will not get a rest.
- If ZIM bats first then F Zaman might not get chance to score big again. In that case U Khan will be an Ideal Choice as Captain.
Team News -
PAKISTAN –
- M Hafeez and S Khan are the only Unused Players in the series so far
- Since Pakistan is leading by 4-0, they can give them a chance. But who they are expected to replace is a big question.
- Most Probably S Malik and S Khan are likely to make way for them.
- F Zaman and Imam Ul Haq are making things too easy for Pakistan. They both are must have for H2H team
- However, You can take a Punt by Dropping F Zaman from your Grand League Team, if he gets a duck then you will have a good chance to win big amount.
- U Khan, J Khan and F Ashraf are their front line pace bowlers.
- While Y Shah and S Khan will lead the Spin attack.
ZIMBABWE –
- They don't have anyone who they haven't used in the series and have ran out of big guns.
- Dropping Chibhabha in last match shows how desperate they were to win.
- They can make a change or two but core team is expected to stay same.
- H Masakdaza, T Musakanda, P Moor and R Murray, are some of the important batsmen from ZIM
- While bowlers list is quite short, B Muzarbani and W Masakdaza are quite safe
- T Chisoro made a comeback in last match and is expected to retain his place.
- .They got bowled out in all four matches, both times top order failed miserably while middle order gave some fight
Pitch Report –
- Match is on the same pitch as last four matches.
- Zimbabwe got all out in both matches, however I feel it has nothing to do with pitch.
- Go with Pakistani Bowlers and And Only Top Order Batsmen. While prefer Zimbabwe Middle Order over Top order.
