Unchanged Pakistan bowl, Coventry back

In an offer to seal their first ODI arrangement win in two years, Pakistan welcomed Zimbabwe to bat in Lahore. Azhar Ali settled on the choice to abstain from playing in the dew prone to show up at night. A few their bowlers battled in the first ODI, yet Pakistan persevered with the same XI.

Zimbabwe were compelled to roll out three improvements, with skipper Elton Chigumbura suspended in light of a moderate over rate and Craig Ervine out with a hamstring harm and Prosper Utseya was sick. Anyhow, they made four on the whole: Charles Coventry, legspinner Graeme Cremer, opening batsman Chamu Chibhabha and medium-pacer Tawanda Mupariwa came in. Chris Mpofu were the one to pass up a great opportunity. Hamilton Masakadza ventured in as chief in Chigumbura's nonappearance.
