Pakistan vs Zimbabwe 2020: Full schedule, squads, match timings, telecast, and live streaming details
Babar Azam’s reign as ODI skipper is set to begin as Pakistan play host to Zimbabwe in 3 ODIs and as many T20Is, starting tomorrow in Rawalpindi. It will mark the return of international cricket to Pakistan ever since the limited-overs series against Bangladesh was abandoned earlier this year.
The series will begin with 3 ODIs being played every alternate day followed by the 3-match T20I series starting November 7th. The 50-over leg will have more relevance as the matches will fall under the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League – a pathway to the 2023 World Cup.
All 6 matches will be played in Rawalpindi, which will be hosting an ODI for the first time since 2006. While Pakistan last played an ODI series in October 2019 versus Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe is visiting the country for the first time since 2015. On that tour, they were blanked 2-0 each in the ODI and T20I series.
