Venue and Pitch
The match will take place at the Pallekele Cricket Stadium in Kandy. The pitch is suited for batting and a score of around 250 is easily on the cards. The wicket will become slow and low during the second innings and scoring will get a little harder. The side that wins the toss will look to bat first.
Team News
Pakistan looked completely at sea when Ross Taylor went on the rampage. They had no answers during the power-play and will be better prepared this time around. Shoaib Akhtar was limping during their last match and it remains to be seen if Captain Shahid Afridi will risk playing him in this game. Pakistan may also look to change their opening combination, as they have performed miserably.
Zimbabwe were completely outplayed by the Sri Lankans and will want to do better in this game. However, they do not have the batsmen or the bowlers to pose any sort of threat to the Pakistani’s.
Match Odds
Pakistan 1/8 are clear favourites and are expected to win this game. Zimbabwe will find it difficult to bat out their 50 overs as they will have to face a quality pace attack and handle the spin of Shahid Afridi, who is one of the leading wicket takers in this world cup.
Top Batsman
The Pakistani openers have fallen early and as a result put pressure on the middle-order. The experienced Younis Khan 9/2 and Misbah-ul-Haq 11/2 are key players along with boom boom Afridi 11/2.
Former captain and wicket-keeper batsman Tatenda Taibu 9/2 is due for some runs and along with Brendan Taylor 11/4 will be the ones to watch out for.
Featured Bet
Zimbabwe will find it difficult to last the full 50 overs and will struggle to score more than 200. Both Shahid Afridi and Umar Gul will be looking to pick up a 5 wicket haul. Place your wager here
Match Predictions
Pakistan will not only want to win this match but they will want to win it comprehensively. They will win by more than 50 runs if they bat first or by more than 5 wickets if they bat second.
Best Bet: Shahid Afridi 11/2
