Watch Zimbabwe Vs. Pakistan Cricket Live Stream: 4th ODI Start Time, Preview, How To Watch Online
The Zimbabwe national cricket team has two more chances to salvage some pride, if not an actual win, in the five-match one day international series against Pakistan in Bulawayo. They posted the lowest total ever against a Pakistan side in an ODI, as CricInfo reported, in the third ODI match. The fourth game of the series will live stream from Queens Sports Club on Friday.
A five-wicket haul by 24-year-old medium pacer Faheem Ashraf led the way for the Pakistan bowling corps, as the ICC reported. The visting bowlers needed just 15 overs to run up seven wickets against a mere 43 runs before the bottom order — led by 10 from Wellington Masakadza — lifted Zimbabwe to 67 before they were bowled out inside of 26 overs.
In the chase, Pakistan needed just one ball short of 10 overs to reach their target for the nine-wicket win, as Sports Keeda reports, led by Fakhar Zaman’s 43 not out.

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 third ODI match between heavily favored Pakistan and host Zimbabwe at 3:15 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time, 12:15 a.m. Pacific.
Zimbabwe’s rising star pacer Blessing Muzarabani got the innings off to an inspiring start when he dismissed Imam-ul-Haq on the first ball, caught out by wicketkeeper Ryan Murphy. But the innings went downhill fast after that and the match was over, with Pakistan taking a series-clinching third victory and needing only 35 overs of the scheduled 100 to do it.
Zimbabwe has been missing several star players due to injury in the ODI series, and the ongoing labor strife between the country’s cricketers and cricket board have also taken their toll, as CricInfo reports.
