Pakistan Tour Zimbabwe 2024, 3rd T20I:
- Date and time: December 5: 11:30 GMT / 1:30 PM Local / 5:00 PM IST
- Location: Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo
Queens Sports Club report:
Queens Sports Club is expected to benefit the fast bowlers early on, with significant spin and fine seam movement expected in the morning session. As the day progresses and the field dries out in the sunlight, it’s likely to provide consistent speed and bounce, making it easier for teams to get second. The spinners may find some dust and spin during the middle overs, but the general conditions are expected to favor the batting as the game unfolds. For pacers to maintain their effectiveness with the old ball, it will be important to use cuts and focus on hard lengths in the latter stages of the game.
