Zimbabwe vs Pakistan – 1st T20I – Betting Odds & Match Prediction
- SHARE
After a terrific tour of South Africa, Pakistan head to Zimbabwe for a T20 and Test series. The kind of form they are in, they’ll back themselves to emerge victorious in Zimbabwe as well. However, the hosts can’t be taken too lightly as the likes of Brendan Taylor, Craig Ervine and Sean Williams are very capable batsmen. Pakistan have not lost a T20I against Zimbabwe and will be looking to continue their winning run. Here are the best odds from this match
Top team
| Team | Bet365 | Betway |
| Zimbabwe | 6.00 | 5.50 |
| Pakistan | 1.12 | 1.12 |
Most betting sites have declared Pakistan as favourites. It seems a right decision as Pakistan is a far superior team.
Top Batsmen
| Batsmen | Bet365 | Betway |
| Brendan Taylor | 4.00 | 3.24 |
| Craig Ervine | 4.33 | 4.00 |
| Sean Williams | 4.50 | 4.33 |
| Babar Azam | 2.87 | 3.00 |
| Mohammed Rizwan | 3.00 | 3.25 |
| Fakhar Zaman | 4.00 | 5.00 |
Brendan Taylor, Craig Ervine and Sean Williams are the best batsmen for Zimbabwe and we’ll back them to have a decent series with the bat.
For Pakistan, Babar Azam is in magnificent form and is coming back from a scintillating series against South Africa where he was the highest run getter for Pakistan. Fakhar Zaman and Mohammad Rizwan too had a fabulous series against the Proteas.
Top bowlers

| Blessing Muzarabani | 3.00 | 4.50 |
| Donald Tiripano | 4.50 | 3.76 |
| Ryan Burl | 6.00 | 3.75 |
| Shaheen Afridi | 3.00 | 3.75 |
| Haris Rauf | 4.33 | 3.75 |
| Usman Qadir | 4.00 | 4.33 |
Zimbabwe doesn’t have much quality in their bowling but we think Ryan Burl can be a surprise factor of Pakistan. He bowled well against Afghanistan in the T20 series. Blessing Muzarabani and Donald Tiripano can also be backed to come good.
For Pakistan, Usman Qadir can trouble the Zimbabweans with his variations. He was outstanding against them when Zimbabwe toured Pakistan. Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf will also cause a lot of trouble to the Zimbabwe batsmen.
