National Stadium, Karachi: Pitch Report

In what proved to be another batting paradise in the first ODI, the best time to bat at the National Stadium in Karachi is during the afternoon. The captain who therefore wins the toss should elect to bat first. This decision will not only see the batters prevail when conditions are most optimised for batting, but also see the spinners and slow bowlers come into the game in the second innings.

PAK W vs ZIM W: Probable Best Performer of the Match

Probable Best Batter: Sadaf Shamas

Opening batter Sadaf Shamas is the in-form batter in the Pakistan squad, after scoring 98 in the first ODI against Zimbabwe. This was the 27-year-old’s second consecutive score in the 90s in her ODI career. She scored 97 against South Africa in Durban in March to help her side take the win. In her 50-over international career, Shamas is yet to reach triple digits, but it is only a matter of time before she is able to celebrate her maiden century.

Probable Best Batter: Fatima Sana

Pakistan captain Fatima Sana took two wickets in the first ODI at an economy rate of 5.60. The right-arm pacer came into the series on the back of taking four wickets from the last two matches against South Africa. She currently has 79 ODI wickets to her name after playing 60 matches.
