Captivated by a green-touched Optus Arena pitch, where the ball had for the most part overwhelmed the bat in the past two matches, Pakistan chose to reinforce their speed assault with the consideration of fast Mohammad Wasim to the detriment of player Asif Ali.
In the wake of limiting Zimbabwe to an unobtrusive 129 for 8, it seemed a masterstroke with a searing Wasim featuring with 4 for 24, including the vital wicket of Sikandar Raza followed by master demise bowling, yet Pakistan’s debilitated center request self-destructed under tension.

Yet again Babar Azam , who gave his group an energizing cry after the loss against India in a video that has since circulated around the web, attempted to stay sure of Pakistan’s possibilities as they face the test of ascending off the material.
“We have two days and we’ll have a sit together and examine the missteps,” he said. “We will return more grounded.”
