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.
They won their opener here against Pakistan but were soundly beaten in the second, giving them an overall win-loss record of 152-399 in ODI cricket.
Zimbabwe’s victory over Pakistan was their first over a Full Member country in an ODI since 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.
However, in the first game here, they were stunned by an inspired Zimbabwean team.
They came back strongly in the second ODI in which they beat Zimbabwe by 10 wickets, giving them a 515-440 win-loss record overall in ODI cricket.

Zimbabwe vs Pakistan 3rd ODI Preview & Predictions with Latest Odds*
Pakistan’s opening loss at the hands of Zimbabwe was a shocker and that was underlined even more so given how superbly they played in the second match of the series.
First Abrar Ahmed combined with Salman Agha to pick up seven of the wickets to fall before Saim Ayub gave another glimpse of his talent with a 62-ball 113 in response. 17 fours and three sixes punctuated his innings.
Zimbabwe looked to have surprised a few by batting first after winning the toss given the conditions assist seam bowling to begin with. We could see a change in that tactic come the third game.
What Zimbabwe also need to do better is to try and last 50 overs – it’s the second time they have gotten bowled out. Sure, it’s tough to score against some of the Pakistan seamers but they need to pick and choose whom to attack.
Pakistan can be expected to clinch this in a jiffy.
