4 reasons why Zimbabwe can surprise Pakistan?: As we know, the current Zimbabwe team is only a pale shadow of what it was years ago when players like Henry Olango, the dreaded flower brothers- Andy and Grand, Heath Streak were a part of the squad. But still this current Zimbabwe team has managed to put up a decent show in the world cup 2015. And are about to tour Pakistan (though not certain yet).

Though Zimbabwe is a lesser known side against their Asian opponents but not to overlook the fact that they still have enough ammunition to surprise a few and beat Pakistan on a given day. Here are the reasons why we think so:

Experience of facing Pakistan in the World Cup:

Not long ago, Zimbabwe faced Pakistan in the world cup. They came agonizingly close to pulling off an upset but lost out in the end. So that experience might help them stage an upset this time around. Although the absence of Brendan Taylor is a set-back, they&#8217;ve got the right players to compensate that. Inexperience of Pakistan players:

The current Pakistan side looks depleted and inexperienced with the likes of Shahid Afridi and Misbah Ul Haq retiring from the team. Azhar Ali is disappointing as a captain and got white washed by Bangladesh 4-0 in the recently concluded series.

Can take heart from good individual world cup performances:

Hamilton Masakadza and Sean Williams played exceptionally well in the world cup with Masakadza putting up a good all-round show and Williams hitting 3 seventy plus scores must have done their confidence lot of good and will carry it along to Pak. The addition of Charles Coventry:

Charles Coventry the attacking batsman who once held the record for the highest individual score in the ODIs is added to the ranks this time around. He hasn&#8217;t played a game for Zimbabwe since 2011, but he is a very fine player capable of some fireworks.

With all these factors put together we feel that the Zimbabwe team can stage an upset and stun Pakistan on their day.
