Saira Jabeen was not out on 1 run, and extras contributed three runs. The first wicket fell at 58 runs in 6.1 overs, marking the end of a strong opening partnership.

Pakistan’s innings got off to a blistering start, scoring 50 runs in just 5.1 overs during the power play. The batting lineup displayed aggressive stroke play and maintained a high scoring rate.

Predictions

Given Pakistan Women’s strong start and the commanding form they displayed throughout the series, they are the favorites to post a high total and secure a clean sweep in the series-deciding 3rd T20I. 

If Zimbabwe Women manage early breakthroughs in the middle overs, they could make the chase more competitive, but Pakistan’s batting depth and strike power suggest they will likely dominate.
