Pakistan to lock horns with Zimbabwe in 2nd Test today

Pakistan will take on Zimbabwe in the second test match and aim for a clean sweep at the Harare Sports Club.

Pakistan won the first Test comprehensively beating Zimbabwe by an innings and 116 runs. Hasan Ali’s nine wickets coupled with Fawad Alam’s knock of 140 helped Pakistan cruise to a comfortable victory. Babar is yet to face defeat as Test captain of Pakistan.

Zimbabwe meanwhile will be hoping for better performance with bat and ball.

Zimbabwe are severely handicapped this time around by the loss of several experienced middle-order hands due to various reasons, with Craig Ervine, Sean Williams, and Sikandar Raza all ruled out.
