Pre-Match Analysis:

Zimbabwe A has included international capped players in the squad to get more practice games ahead of the ICC World Cup Qualifiers. This 6-match Unofficial ODI series is a massive opportunity for the upcoming players to express their talent against a strong Pakistan Shaheens. The 2 matches Test series didn’t go their way as they got whitewashed. Wesley Madhevere, Luke Jongwe, Brad Evans, and Wesley Madhevere are the bigger names in the squad.

Pakistan Shaheens are looking forward to repeating their Test success in the One-Dayers as well. Saim Ayub who wasn’t been part of the Test squad has now joined the side for the limited-overs. It’s been more than 18 months since Shaheens last played featured in the Unofficial ODI series. After spending more than 2 weeks in Zimbabwe they got used to the conditions and are ready to dominate the ODIs. Hussain Talat and Shahnawaz Dahani are the star performers in the line-up.
