The Pakistan cricket team has opted to field after winning the toss at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, where the host team has begun their batting.
In the first 3 overs, Zimbabwe’s openers, Tadiwanashe Marumani and Joylord Gumbie, have made solid contributions, helping the host team reach a total of 19 runs.
Pakistan cricket team captain Mohammad Rizwan says that no team is easy to face in their home conditions. The series against Zimbabwe presents a great opportunity for young players, and it will help Pakistan discover new cricket superstars.
Three players from Pakistan are making their One Day International debut today, including Aamir Jamal, Hasibullah, and Faisal Akram. The match has begun, and the Zimbabwean players have cautiously taken their positions at the crease. By the end of 5 overs, Zimbabwe has scored 37 without losing any wickets.
