While the eyes of the world are on the mega auction of IPL 2025, Pakistan cricket team has lost yet another ODI match. Pakistan is currently preparing for the Champions Trophy but suffered a major setback after losing to a lesser team. Although the result of the match was declared through DLS due to rain, Pakistan would have lost the match even if it was completed. Zimbabwe’s performance today also exposed Pakistan’s performance in ODIs. There are two games left in the series. Pakistan must win at any cost.
Zimbabwe unable to complete 50 overs
In the first ODI match between Pakistan and Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe scored only 205 runs while batting first. The team couldn’t even play its quota of 50 rounds and could only play 40.2 rounds. After that, the Pakistani team seemed to win the game easily, but who knew that the Pakistani team played a worse game than this. At one point, Zimbabwe could only score 125 runs for 7 wickets, but even then, the team made great progress and scored over 200 runs.
Pakistan lost 6 wickets while scoring only 60 runs.
Thereafter, when Pakistan started batting, the team could only score 60 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in 21 overs. Meanwhile, it rained and the game had to be stopped. Thereafter, it was hoped that if the rain stopped, the match could go ahead, but the situation in Pakistan was poor. The rain had not stopped yet, and the Zimbabwean team won the game by a huge margin of 80 points according to the Duckbos-Lewis method. Defeating a small team like Zimbabwe will leave deep scars on Pakistan.
Two games left in the series
There will be three ODI matches between Zimbabwe and Pakistan. Pakistan lost their first match and were in imminent danger of losing the series. The second game of the series will be played on November 26, while the final and third games of the series will be played on November 28. Now it remains to be seen how Pakistan will comeback in the series.
