The 3^rd match of the T20I series between Pakistan and Zimbabwe will be played at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi.

Preview:

Just like they did in the ODI series, Pakistan have already sealed the fate f the T20I series even before the last game. They have won both of the games so far, and will now look for a white-wash. This game will provide Pakistan with an opportunity to give a chance to comparatively lesser-known players to justify their selection in the national squad and prove that they are worthy of the green shirt.

However, it will be foolish no write Zimbabwe off. They pulled off a fantastic win in the final game of the ODI series and would ideally want to repeat that in this game. Since they are on the verge of getting a whitewash and have pride at stake, they will try to give their one hundred percent in tomorrow’s game.
