Zimbabwe-Pakistan tour preview - Cricket World TV

Top level International cricket is back after a short break this weekend as Zimbabwe host Pakistan for the first of two Twenty20 Internationals in Harare.

They also play three One-Day Internationals and while Pakistan will be hoping for a repeat of the brace of 2-0 series wins they completed over Zimbabwe earlier this year, the home side will have other ideas.

They shocked New Zealand with a win in August and will be keen to get off to a fast start this time around.

Pakistan, fresh from beating Sri Lanka 2-0 in their most recent Twenty20 International series, will be overwhelming favourites, however.
