Watch Zimbabwe Vs. Pakistan Cricket Live Stream: 2nd ODI Start Time, Preview, How To Watch Online
Ryan Murray led all Zimbabwe batsmen with 32 runs scored, per CricInfo, while Pakistan opener Imam-ul-Haq pasted Zimbabwe bowling for 128 off 134 balls — and that contrast tells the story of the first on day international match of the five-game series between the two countries. But Zimbabwe hopes to regroup and stage a more respectable showing as the second ODI will live stream from Bulawayo on Monday.
Pakistan won the opening ODI match by a lopsided 201 runs, as the hosts posted just 107 before being bowled out, as CricInfo reported. Imam alone topped the host side’s total, while 19-year-old leg break spinner Shadab Khan put in his best performance in an international match, claiming a four-wicket haul while leaking just 32 runs in his nine overs.
For Imam, his stellar century was his second in ODI cricket, coming in only his fifth match in the 50-overs international format, according to ICC stats. Fakhar Zaman recorded a half-century, with 60, while Asif Ali ripped 46 off of just 25 deliveries.

In Pakistan, that start time will be 12:15 p.m. Pakistan Standard Time, while in India the match gets underway at 12:45 p.m. India Standard Time. In the United States, fans will need to either stay up very late or wake up extremely early to watch the match at 3:15 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time, 12:15 a.m. Pacific.
Other than Murray, who at least performed credibly with the bat in his ODI debut, no other Zimbabwe batsman scored more than 21 — with Captain Hamilton Masakadza a particular disappointment recording only seven, according to Sports Keeda, before he was caught out by Fakhar off an Usman Khan delivery, one of Khan’s pair of wickets in the match.
