What Have The Two Teams Done Recently?
Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe haven’t played too many ODIs in recent times like most other countries what with the year belonging to a T20 World Cup. Over the past six matches they have gone without a win, dating back to July 2023 which includes defeats to Sri Lanka, Scotland and Ireland.
Overall, Zimbabwe have a 151-398 win-loss record but the last time they defeated a Full Member country in an ODI was way back in June 2023 when they got the better of West Indies in a 2023 World Cup Qualifier game.
Pakistan
Pakistan are coming off a stunning performance in the ODI series against Australia, defeating them 2-1 in their own backyards on absolutely spicy pitches. Incidentally that was their first ever ODI series they had participated in since their opening round ouster at the 2023 World Cup, nearly a year ago.
They have a 514-439 win-loss record overall in ODI cricket.

Zimbabwe vs Pakistan 1st ODI Preview & Predictions with Latest Odds*
Pakistan have rested a few of their top players for this series but their bowling still looks strong enough to take down the opposition.
The Mohammad Rizwan-led tourists have Haris Rauf and Aamir Jamal to share the seam bowling workload while the batting has Kamran Ghulam, Saim Ayub and Salman Ali Agha to prop up their chances.
While Zimbabwe is a tough team to beat at home and have a decent batting line-up consisting of Sikandar Raza, Craig Ervine and Sean Williams, their chances might be a lot brighter in the shortest format of the game with Pakistan starting out as overwhelming favourites here.
