Zimbabwe thrashed Pakistan by 80 runs in the first ODI at Bulawayo. This result wasnt expected as Pakistan just came on this tour of Zimbabwe fresh from the ODI series win in Australia. Pakistan will suddenly start performing so pathetically in their batting having colllapsed in their batting regularly since the ODI series win in Australia in the following Twenty20 series in Australia and the first ODI was least expected.
Pakistani selectors didnt take the Zimbabwe team seriously playing their weakened and second string team against Zimbabwe. There was no logic in not selecting their key players Babar Azam, Naseem Shah and Shaheen Afridi in this tour of Zimbabwe. Zimbabwean teams of the past were known to cause an upset to Pakistan in the past too and Pakistan should have played their best possible team against them.
In the end I would like to say is that Pakistan have enough talent in their current squad to bounce back and defeat Zimbabwe in this ODI series and the following Twenty20 series.
