When the eyes of the whole world were on the mega auction of IPL 2025, the Pakistani cricket team lost another ODI match. Pakistan is currently preparing for the Champions Trophy, but it has suffered a big setback after the defeat against the smaller team. Although the result of the match was declared through DLS due to rain, but even if the match was completed, Pakistan would have lost. The way Zimbabwe played today has exposed the Pakistani team in ODIs as well. There are still two more matches left in the series. Which Pakistan will have to win at any cost.
Zimbabwe team could not play its 50 overs
In the first ODI match played between Pakistan and Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe scored only 205 runs while batting first. The team could not even play its quota of 50 overs and was able to play only 40.2 overs. After this it seemed that the Pakistani team would win this match comfortably, but who knew that Pakistan would show an even worse game than this. At one time, Zimbabwe’s 7 wickets had fallen for only 125 runs, but even after this the team came a long way and took the score beyond 200.
Pakistani team had lost 6 wickets on the score of only 60.
After this, when Pakistan started batting, the team could score only 60 runs at the loss of 6 wickets in 21 overs. Meanwhile it rained and the match had to be stopped. After this, there was hope that if the rain would stop then the match would go ahead, but Pakistan’s condition was very thin. When the rain did not stop, Zimbabwe team won the match by a huge margin of 80 runs as per Duckburth Lewis Method. Defeat against a team considered small like Zimbabwe would have left deep wounds for Pakistan.
Two more matches left in the series
There are three ODI matches to be held between Zimbabwe and Pakistan. The Pakistani team has lost its very first match, after which now the danger of losing the series is also looming in front of it. The second match of the series will be played on 26 November, while the last and third match of the series is to be played on 28 November.
