Watch Zimbabwe Vs. Pakistan Cricket Live Stream: 3rd ODI Start Time, Preview, How To Watch Online
Zimbabwe have been no match for visiting Pakistan over the first two games go their five-match one-day international cricket series that opened last week in Zimbabwe. But the hosts will have one chance to turn the series around when the two sides meet in the third ODI, as CricInfo reports, on Wednesday, in a match that will live stream, from Bulawayo.
In the second match, Pakistan once again rolled to an easy win over the injury-depleted Zimbabwe side, using a sparkling 117, per CricInfo, from Fakhar Zaman to plow to a nine-wicket win, easily chasing down a modest total of 194 by the hosts with 84 balls to spare.
Usman Khan tallied a four-wicket haul on Pakistan’s way to bowling out their hosts with four balls to spare, and Hasan Ali claimed more as the Pakistan bowling corps made a meal of the struggling Zimbabwe batsmen. For the hosts, Captain Hamilton Masakadza rebounded from a sorry seven in the opening ODI match, as Inquisitr reported, to compile a respectable half-century. The veteran scored 59 out of the third spot in the order on 79 balls.
Peter Moore also managed an even 50 for Zimababwe, needing 86 deliveries to get there. But the duo comprised the only real batting threat for the host nation.
