Pakistan look to extend dominant run
Prior to the T20Is, Pakistan completed a convincing 3-0 clean sweep over Zimbabwe in the preceding ODI series. Captain Fatima Sana expressed confidence that her side would carry that momentum into the three-match T20 series.
“We are pleased with the way the team performed in the ODI series and the players showed great discipline and consistency throughout the series,” Fatima told PCB Digital. “The T20I format brings different challenges, but the momentum and confidence from the ODI series will definitely help us going into this leg of the tour.”
