An unchanged playing XI has been declared by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for the second T20I against Zimbabwe, and the visitors would attempt to achieve an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.

Confidence in Continuity
The all-round victory of Pakistan made it very viable that they would not tinker with the winning team for the second match. Salman Ali Agha will captain the team in the absence of Mohammad Rizwan to provide true leadership to this young side duo in the hope of gaining more exposure to international cricket for talents like Omair Bin Yousuf, Jahandad Khan, Tayyab Tahir, and Irfan Khan Niazi.
What Follows
Against this backdrop, the match will be huge in significance to PCB, with changes in major proportions likely in the squad for the imminent tour of South Africa. For a few, it is said to be their last opportunity for the actual players to convert their Pakistan plans into one.
The series finale will take place on Thursday.
