ZIM vs PAK Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report and Injury Update for 2nd Test

Preview:

Hosts Zimbabwe lost the 1^st Test inside just 3 days, by an innings and 116 runs. They will need to win the second test to level the series 1-1. Sean Williams’s absence has hurt them a lot in the 1^st test, but he is likely to play in the 2^nd test. Zimbabwe should work on their batting skills more if they want to win the 2^nd test.

Pakistan, on the other hand, will definitely be the favourites for this test match, given the way they have played in the 1^st Test. There were many positive outcomes in the 1^st Test with Fawad Alam scoring a century and Hasan Ali picking up 9 wickets in a match. Pakistan are currently ranked 5^th in Test rankings.
