This match is the last chance for the Zimbabwe team to win the series. After a brilliant performance in the first match, both the team's batting and bowling failed in the second ODI. Captain Craig Ervine and experienced Sikandar Raza will be responsible for batting. Raza made a significant contribution with both bat and ball in the first match. The team's bowling will have expectations from Blessing Muzarabani and Richard Ngarava. Muzarabani has a good record against Pakistan, and he can play an important role in this match.
Pakistan made a strong comeback in the series with a strong performance in the second ODI. Saiyam Ayub performed brilliantly with his first century and led the team to a 10-wicket win. Abrar Ahmed's brilliant spin bowling put the Zimbabwe batsmen in trouble. The team's batting will rely on the opening pair of Saiyam Ayub and Abdullah Shafiq, while experienced players like captain Mohammad Rizwan and Agha Salman will provide stability in the middle order. Haris Rauf and Abrar Ahmed will be Pakistan's main weapons in bowling.
