- Rainstorms caused by Zimbabwe’s previous game were abandoned.
On Thursday night at the Perth Stadium, Match 24 of the 2022 T20 World Cup pits Pakistan and Zimbabwe against one another. On Sunday, Pakistan played in one of the best T20 World Cup matches, but they were defeated by India by four wickets. South Africa and Zimbabwe’s first second-round match resulted in a tie. In Perth, the Super 12 stage game starts at 19:00 local time.
Pakistan has been performing well in this format, but after losing to India on Sunday after being in a strong position, they will still be in a very depressed state. But they will be confident because of their strong history against Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe has had trouble competing against the more powerful teams, but overall, they have a great IT20 record in 2022. The biggest surprise of the Super 12 stage thus far will occur if they win this game.
PAK vs ZIM Weather Report
Cloudy in the morning, then clear skies in the evening in Perth. The temperature will remain between 18 and 15 degrees throughout with no danger of rain.

PAK vs ZIM Pitch Report
On this pitch, a par score will be around to 160. The pitch has some velocity, but getting to the wicket’s boundary square requires a lot of effort and travel.

Shaheen Shah Afridi, a left-arm pace bowler, made his competitive debut for Pakistan against India. Despite going without a wicket, we anticipate him to start the bowling again in this match.

Pakistan is the favorite to win this match.
