Pakistan vs Zimbabwe cricket match

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has released the schedule for Pakistan white-ball series against Zimbabwe, set for November and December 2024. This limited-overs tour will feature One Day Internationals (ODIs) and T20 Internationals (T20) allowing Pakistan team to prepare for upcoming international challenges.

After a disappointing run in the 2024 T20 World Cup in the USA and West Indies, where they were eliminated in the group stage, Pakistan is keen to regroup. Notably, their campaign saw a tough start, including an unexpected loss to the United States.


Zimbabwe Announces Series Schedule for Pakistan

The Pakistan team will visit Zimbabwe for a series that includes three T20 and three ODIs, as confirmed by Zimbabwe Cricket. All games will take place at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo, making it the exclusive venue for this tour.

The series will kick off with the ODIs, scheduled for November 24, 26, and 28, followed by the T20 on December 1, 3, and 5. This tour is expected to be key preparation for Pakistan’s participation in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, set to be hosted in Pakistan in early 2025.

Beyond providing valuable match experience, the Zimbabwe tour offers Pakistan exposure to different playing conditions and the chance to further strengthen team synergy. This contest promises to deliver engaging cricket for fans as both teams prepare for future international competitions.
