The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has unveiled the playing XI for the second ODI against Zimbabwe, scheduled to take place at Queen Sports Club, Bulawayo, on Tuesday.
The team sees two changes from the previous match. Tayyab Tahir replaces Haseebullah Khan, while Mohammad Hasnain makes way for Abrar Ahmed, who is set to make his ODI debut.
Key players such as Saim Ayub, Abdullah Shafique, and Kamran Ghulam have been retained in the lineup, alongside skipper and wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan. The squad also includes Salman Ali Agha, Irfan Niazi, and Amir Jamal.
Haris Rauf will spearhead Pakistan’s pace attack, while Faisal Akram’s spin will complement the bowling unit against the hosts.
Zimbabwe currently lead the three-match series 1-0, following an 80-run victory in the rain-affected first ODI. Despite restricting Zimbabwe to 205 runs, Pakistan faltered in their chase and were 60/6 when heavy rain ended the game under the DLS method.
