PAK vs ZIM 1st T20I: How will the Queens Sports Club Bulawayo Pitch behave in series opener

The Pakistan vs Zimbabwe 1st T20I match will be held on November 30 at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo. Here is the pitch report.

Pakistan will play Zimbabwe in the first Twenty20 International of their three-match series on Sunday. Following a surprising defeat in the opening ODI, Pakistan recovered well and dominated the next few games. Abrar Ahmed made an impression with the ball, destroying the home team with his deceptive spin, while Saim Ayub and Kamran Ghulam were outstanding hitters.

Queens Sports Club Bulawayo Pitch Report

The pitch at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo typically doesn’t provide much lateral movement for fast bowlers with the new ball. However, the surface may have a slightly tacky feel, requiring pacers to focus on hitting the deck and using more cutters to succeed. Any deliveries pitched up are likely to travel a long way, so seamers will need to target a hard length area.

As the game progresses, scoring could become more challenging. Spinners are expected to find some turn and cause difficulties for the batters during the middle overs. With the sun beating down, the pitch may deteriorate, making batting tougher in the latter stages. Given that the team batting first has won 13 out of 19 T20Is in Bulawayo, the winner of the toss may choose to bat first.

ZIM vs PAK T20I Head-to-Head Record

Out of the 18 total matches played, Zimbabwe has won 2, while Pakistan has emerged victorious in 16.
