The 4th match of the Pakistan T20I Tri-Series 2025 at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium is a high-stakes rematch following the series opener, which saw the hosts, Pakistan, clinch a thrilling victory over Zimbabwe. That contest was decided in the final over, setting the stage for what fans can expect to be another fiercely competitive game.
While Pakistan managed to squeeze past in the first encounter, Zimbabwe quickly demonstrated their quality by bouncing back with a dominant performance against Sri Lanka in their second outing. This win has injected significant confidence and momentum into the Zimbabwean camp, making them a more dangerous and unpredictable opponent for Pakistan this time around.
The outcome of this game will likely hinge on several critical individual battles. For Pakistan, the top order, led by Babar Azam, will need to show more fluency than they did in the series opener, where they were tested early. They will face a renewed challenge from the Zimbabwean attack, spearheaded by the impressive Brad Evans, who claimed the early wicket of Babar in the previous match.
Conversely, Zimbabwe’s batting revolves heavily around their captain and star all-rounder, Sikandar Raza, who will have to navigate the high-quality spin of Mohammad Nawaz and Abrar Ahmed, who were excellent in restricting the Zimbabwean middle order. A rising star for Zimbabwe is young opener Brian Bennett, who has performed brilliantly in the series, and his initial duel with the pace of Shaheen Afridi with the new ball will be a fascinating contest that could dictate the flow of the innings.
