After a dominating win against Sri Lanka in the tri-series, Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza has revealed the bigger challenge his side is eyeing.
Talking to media persons after the win, Raza said that they are looking forward to meeting hosts Pakistan once more and that they have a plan for victory after coming close in the series opener.
Pakistan on Nov 18 won the first match of the series by five wickets. Despite the result, Raza’s team was competitive throughout and caused plenty of trouble with both bat and ball.
Zimbabwe has beaten Pakistan twice in the last five meetings, giving Raza’s comments credibility.
The team bounced back in their second game against Sri Lanka, dismantling their opponents by 67 runs to move to the top of the points table.
Pakistan and Zimbabwe will meet again this Sunday. For Pakistan, it may appear to be a routine match, but Zimbabwe, under a highly-motivated Raza, will enter the rematch with a point to prove.
Per the details the Sri Lanka-Zimbabwe clash, Sri Lanka’s batting imploded in the face of a disciplined Zimbabwe attack. They were bowled out for 95, chasing a target of 163.
For Zimbabwe, it was the perfect response to their opening game defeat to Pakistan.
