The 24th match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022 will see Zimbabwe (ZIM) take on Pakistan (PAK) at the Perth Stadium in Perth on Thursday, October 27. Ahead of the match, here's everything you need to know about the PAK vs ZIM Dream11 predictions.
Pakistan did not have the best of starts to their T20 World Cup campaign, coming out on the wrong side of a last-ball thriller against India. However, Pakistan found solace in the way their middle order performed after their openers perished in the powerplay. With their bowling attack also looking well-balanced, Pakistan will fancy a win in this fixture but come across a spirited Zimbabwean side who have shown promise in their T20 World Cup journey so far.
While they start as underdogs, Zimbabwe will bank on the likes of Sikandar Raza and Blessing Muzarabani, who boast franchise league experience. All in all, an intriguing game beckons with two valuable points at stake.

PAK vs ZIM Dream11 match top picks
Top Wicketkeeper Pick
Mohammad Rizwan (74 matches, 2464 runs, SR: 127.47)
Mohammad Rizwan had a rare off-day against India, unable to get going at the top of the order. However, Rizwan is a prolific run-scorer in this format with 2464 runs at an average of 51.33. With Rizwan due for a big score, he is a top pick for your PAK vs ZIM Dream11 prediction team.
Top Batter Pick
Babar Azam (93 matches, 3231 runs, SR: 129.60)
Babar Azam, like his opening partner Rizwan, failed to get going against India. Despite his failure, Azam is one of the top-ranked batters with a T20I average of 43.08. With Azam capable of scoring big runs at the top of the order, he is a must-have in your PAK vs ZIM Dream11 prediction team.
Top All-rounder Pick
Sikandar Raza (4 matches, 136 runs, 5 wickets)
Sikandar Raza has been Zimbabwe's best performer in the T20 World Cup, scoring 136 runs and picking up five wickets in four matches. While his bowling has added variety to the Zimbabwean bowling attack, it is Raza's ability to take on the bowling with his explosive batting that stands out. Given his form, Raza should be a fine pick for your PAK vs ZIM Dream11 prediction team.
Top Bowler Pick
Blessing Muzarabani (4 matches, 6 wickets, Average: 15.83)
Blessing Muzarabani is one of the top wicket-takers in the competition, taking six wickets in four matches. He is averaging just 15.83 in the tournament, holding him in good stead. Given the conditions on offer, Muzarabani should be a fine selection in your PAK vs ZIM Dream11 prediction team.
PAK vs ZIM match captain and vice-captain choices
Sikandar Raza
Sikandar Raza has been brilliant with both the bat and ball. While he has picked up five wickets, Raza has also scored 136 runs at a strike rate of 167.90 in the middle order. The Zimbabwean all-rounder has been in fine form all year and given his experience, he is a good choice as captain or vice-captain in your PAK vs ZIM Dream11 prediction team.
Mohammad Rizwan
Mohammad Rizwan has a fine record in this format against Zimbabwe, scoring 241 runs in seven innings. He averages 80.33 against Zimbabwe in T20Is, holding him in good stead. With the Pakistan wicketkeeper capable of scoring big runs, he is a fine pick as captain in your PAK vs ZIM Dream11 prediction team.
5 Must-picks with player stats for PAK vs ZIM Dream11 Prediction Team
PAK vs ZIM match expert tips (ICC T20 World Cup 2022)
Luke Jongwe, a bowling-allrounder by trade, has not been required with the ball so far in the tournament. Even on the batting front, Jongwe is slated to bat at No. 7 or 8, not leaving much room to make an impact. Given Pakistan's quality of bowling as well, Jongwe could be avoided for your PAK vs ZIM Dream11 prediction team.
