FORM GUIDE
Pakistan and Zimbabwe boast contrasting momentums, heading into the final fixture of the ongoing series.
The home side, who entered the series on the back of a perfect run at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Sub Regional Africa Qualifier, succumbed to a 57-run defeat in the series opener, followed by a 10-wicket thrashing in the second match.
The ongoing series also marked the change of fortune for the green shirts, who suffered a 3-0 clean sweep at the hands of Australia last month.
Zimbabwe: L, L, W, W, W (most recent first)
