The final T20I of the three-match series between Zimbabwe and Pakistan is all set to unfold at the Queens Park Oval in Bulawayo on December 5. The game is expected to commence at 4:30 PM IST. The series has already been decided in the favor of Pakistan who has bullied the hosts in a thumping fashion. With one more match to go, the tourists are eyeing a rare T20I 3-0 clean sweep against the Chevrons to end their tour to Zimbabwe on a happy note.
Head-to-Head Record: Pakistan boasts of a superior track record against Zimbabwe in the shortest format. In as many as 20 games, the Men in Green have tormented the Chevrons left, right, and center in 18 games. Zimbabwe have only managed to emerge victorious on two occasions, one of which came in the famous 2022 T20 World Cup encounter down under.

The home side has been under a lot of pressure in this series. Batting has been their primary cause for concern which has let them down badly in both the T20s. The Zimbabwean batters have faltered quite badly against spin and have lost a staggering 13 wickets to them. Muqeen has been a thorn in their side so far who has caused the most amount of damage to them in this series with his left-arm wrist spin bowling.
In the first ODI, Zimbabwe lost their way from 77-2 to 109-10 in their pursuit of a very competitive target of 166. The batting woes once again came back to haunt the home side when they went from 37-0 to 57-10 in a matter of 8 overs. Zimbabwe are certainly feeling the heat when facing quality spin bowling and their batting unit has looked in absolute disarray against them.

Pakistan have not put a foot wrong in this series thus far. Their spin department has worked like a charm. Muqeem is currently one of their best T20I spin bowlers in recent times and has delivered some exceptional performances to drive Pakistan to commanding wins in the first two T20Is. Ayub has been at his destructive best at the top and notched up a blistering 36 (18) to help Pakistan complete the swiftest T20I run chase in terms of balls remaining.
Salman Agha is a potent all-rounder. His ability to counterattack with the bat during the middle phase followed by his uncanny ability to chip away with wickets, Agha is a valuable asset for the Green Shirts. Spin has been the biggest strength of Pakistan in this series and the visitors will be hoping that the spin battery gets its act together one final time to deliver a final nail in the coffin for Zimbabwe.

The weather will be fairly warm in Bulawayo on Thursday with temperatures varying between 34 degree C and 23 degree C. While the forecast predicts no possibility of rain, the humidity rate is expected to be around 17% with wind speeds of nearly 15 km/hr.
The deck at Queens Sports Club serves well for the sides batting first. A score of around 155 seems par in the first innings but the captain batting first should look to be more ambitious than that whilst setting totals. Both the skippers will be keen to win the toss, bat first and post a competitive total on the board.
14 out of the 21 T20I matches played at the Queens Sport Club in Bulawayo have been won by the teams batting first, teams that won the toss have opted to bat first 71.4% of the times. We predict the team that wins the toss will opt to bat first.
Zimbabwe have been outclassed and decimated by the Green Shirts in a very one-sided manner in this ongoing white-ball series. Apart from their solitary win in the first ODI, the hosts have looked all at sea against the visitors. Moreover, we expect the Chevrons to face immense difficulty in staging a turnaround after their shambolic 57 all-out. Pakistan are well on course to script a rare T20I series sweep of three or more matches.
