Match State: Match start scheduled for 14.30 local time (10.30 gmt)
Good Afternoon for the third Sharjah ODI, this one between Pakistan
and Zimbabwe brought to you by Nirala Sweets and CricInfo.com
This is a key game for both sides to see who can really challenge
the Sri Lankans sailing high and dry in this triangular series
In their first games against Sri Lanka, both these sides were
totally outclassed. Zimbabwe is a young side in rebuild mode while
Pakistan's excuse is they have little match practice
From the two games so far there has been a noticable change in the
Sharjah pitch, as it seems to be a little more bowler friendly yet
allows good batsmen to prosper
Its Pakistan's toss toss and are batting
The Zimbabwe team includes Gripper for Wishart while Pakistan are
unchanged
All set and we are ready to go
