The Pakistani captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Misbah-ul-Haq-c1972, won the toss and opted to bat first on the batting friendly wicket in the second and last T20 International against Zimbabwe, being played at the Harare Sports Club today, Sunday, September 18.
Pakistan have the best chance to finish the tour on a winning note and complete a clean sweep of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zimbabwe-c3045 across all the formats of the game.
The tourists have made one change to their winning combination from Friday’s T20 squad, as rookie pace bowler, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Junaid-Khan-c77037 has been called up to replace Aizaz Cheema.
The home side has also made one change to their squad bringing in Prosper Utseya for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/CB-Mpofu-c1219 who was quite wayward and expensive in the last match.
The Harare wicket is traditionally batting friendly wicket and it favoured batsmen in Friday’s game.

Whilst the victory for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 in today’s match will ensure a clean sweep of Zimbabwe at the hands of Pakistan in all the three formats of the game, the match has further importance since it is Waqar Younis’ last match as Pakistan team’s head coach, and
the Men in Green can bid him an ideal farewell with a clean sweep.
