Confident Pakistan eye series clean sweep

Babar Azam will look to continue his unbeaten record as Pakistan Test captain when Zimbabwe and Pakistan clash in the second and final Test at the Harare Sports Club.

Pakistan won the first Test at the same venue comprehensively beating Zimbabwe by an innings and 116 runs. Hasan Ali’s nine wickets coupled with Fawad Alam’s knock of 140 helped Pakistan cruise to a comfortable victory. Babar is yet to face defeat as Test captain of Pakistan.

With a solid team in place, it will be interesting to see whether Pakistan give a chance to either of the uncapped fast bowlers Tabish Khan or Haris Rauf in the playing XI.

Zimbabwe, meanwhile, will be hoping for better performance with bat and ball. Apart from the opening pair of Kevin Kasuza and Tarisai Musakanda, none of the Zimbabwe batsmen were able to deal with the Pakistan bowling attack in the second innings of the Test.
