Sikandar Raza is now accompanied by Richmond Mutumbami at the crease. On a pitch like this and with Zimbabwe’s lacklustre bowling, they’ll have to score 300 at the bare minimum to give themselves a chance to win the match. Live Scorecard: Pakistan vs Zimbabwe 2015, 2nd ODI at Lahore
Earlier, Pakistan won the toss and elected to bowl first. Pakistan will look to restrict Zimbabwe to a small score and chase it down in order to seal the series. Pakistan will also be wary of the fact that defeat in any of the matches here can result in their exclusion from the 2016 ICC Champions Trophy. So far in the series Pakistan has been dominant and are yet to lose a match. Zimbabwe will have to step up in the bowling department to pose a challenge.
