Pakistan will face zimbabwe In the fourth match of the T20 tri-series. This article provides details about the Pakistan vs Zimbabwe playing 11 for the fourth match of the series.
Pakistan Playing XI vs Zimbabwe- Pakistan T20I Tri Series 2025, Match 4:
Openers: Sahibzada Farhan, Saim Ayub
Pakistan will look to continue the good form they have shown in recent times in all three formats of the game by winning the upcoming match against Zimbabwe, which is part of the T20I tri-series.
The home team got the better of Zimbabwe in the opening match of the series and will be looking to make it two wins from two matches against them.
To accomplish that target, the Men in Green will have to rely on their opening batsmen to give them good starts by playing the aggressive manner they are known for at the top of the order.
Having said that, the opening pair of Sahibzada Farhan and Saim Ayub have been quite inconsistent as they have been given consistent chances in this format of the game and they will look to improve that in this game.
Apart from strong performances in partnership, both Farhan and Ayub will be looking to achieve a big score individually as well.
Middle-order batsmen and all-rounders: Babar Azam, Salman Agha (captain), Usman Khan (wicketkeeper), Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Nawaz, Faheem Ashraf.
The Pakistani middle-order will also be entrusted with the responsibility of taking advantage of the platform provided by the openers, as it consists of batsmen who are capable of doing so.
It will be interesting to see what the batting position of the middle-order batsmen will be as the team has made some notable changes in this regard in the opening match against the same opponent.
One of those changes was Fakhar Zaman, who batted at number five, and the only reason to think about that particular move is his aggressive gameplay against the spinners, which could be a long-term plan moving forward.
Whatever may be the batting position of individual batsmen, one thing that is certain is that the onus will be on the top five batsmen, including former and current captain Salman Ali Aga and Babar Azam, to score a huge number of runs.
Bowlers: Shaheen Afridi, Salman Mirza, Abrar Ahmed
If we talk about the bowling attack, there might be one or two changes with Pakistan following the rotation policy regarding the bowling department to manage the workload of the bowlers.
However, the hosts are expected to stick to their strategy of having depth in the batting lineup and go into the match against Sri Lanka with only three specialist bowlers and a few all-rounders.
The bowling combination will largely depend on the nature of the pitch, which has been introduced for the fourth match of the tri-series
If the pitch is dry the home team may choose a few spinners, or an additional fast bowler may be selected if the team management feels this will help the fast bowlers.
