PAK vs ZIM Pitch Report

The Queens Sports Club is anticipated to initially benefit fast bowlers, with significant swing and subtle seam movement expected during the morning session. As the day progresses and the pitch dries in the sunlight, it is likely to provide consistent pace and bounce, making it easier for teams batting second to score runs. Spinners may find some grip and turn during the middle overs, but overall conditions are expected to favour batters as the match unfolds. For pacers to maintain their effectiveness with an older ball, employing cutters and focusing on hard lengths will be crucial in the later stages of the game.

PAK vs ZIM Weather Report

The forecast for Thursday afternoon in Bulawayo is likely to be clear with some clouds and a maximum temperature reaching up to 34°C. The humidity will be on the lower side, around 15-20 percent, with a moderate wind speed of 5 km/h

Harbhajan Singh breaks silence on his relationship with MS Dhoni

 Former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh has made a big revelation. Talking to News18, he broke the silence on his relationship with former Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. He said that he has not spoken to Dhoni for 10 years. When he played for CSK from IPL 2018 to 2020, he used to talk to Dhoni on the field.

Harbhajan Singh broke his silence on his relationship with MS Dhoni

Both Harbhajan Singh and MS Dhoni have been an important part of the Indian team (2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 ODI World Cup). Recently, while talking to News 18, Harbhajan revealed that when he played for CSK in the IPL in Chennai, he would only talk to Dhoni in the stadium and there was no conversation between the two outside the field.

Harbhajan Singh played for CSK between 2018-2020. He further said that no, I do not talk to Dhoni. We last spoke when I was playing in CSK, but apart from that we have not spoken. It has been more than 10 years since we spoke. I have no reason to talk to him, maybe he calls. I don't know what is the reason behind this. When we were playing in CSK in the IPL, we used to talk and that too was limited to the field. After that neither did he ever come to my room, nor did I go to him.

Harbhajan Singh also said that I have nothing to say against him, but if he has something to say then he can tell me. But if he had something to talk about, he would have told me by now. I never tried to call him because I have a lot of passion. I only call those people who pick up my phone.

Highest Indian wicket taker in SENA countries

 A five-match Test series is being played between India and Australia. In the first match played in Perth, Team India won by 295 runs. After the strong performance of the batsmen, the Indian fast bowlers forced Australia to kneel. Now the second match is to be played in Adelaide from December 6. This will be a day-night test or pink ball test. India has played only one day-night Test in Australia before this and in that match played in Adelaide in 2020, Team India had to face a crushing defeat at the hands of the Kangaroos.

The Indian team would like to forget that defeat and make a new beginning. However, the biggest question is what will be the playing-11 of Team India? The return of Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill has increased the difficulties of the team management. If both of them play, then a lot of changes will have to be made in the playing-11. In such a situation, will Ravichandran Ashwin get a chance to play, because in the last Test, Washington Sundar was played to strengthen the batting order. Let us look at the performance of Ashwin and other Indian bowlers in SENA countries i.e. South Africa, England, New Zealand and Australia.

Highest Indian wicket taker in SENA countries

Bowlers	Matches	Wickets	Best bowling	5fers
Anil Kumble	35	141	8/141	5
Ishant Sharma	41	130	7/74	5
Md. Shami	34	123	6/56	4
Jasprit Bumrah	27	121	6/33	7
Zaheer Khan	30	119	5/29	6
Kapil Dev	35	117	8/106	7
Bishan Singh Bedi	25	90	6/127	5
Jawagal Srinath	22	89	6/76	4
Erapalli Prasanna	20	78	8/76	5
Ravichandran Ashwin	25	71	4/55	0
Bhagwath Chandrashekhar	19	71	6/38	6
Harbhajan Singh	19	62	7/120	3

India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has 536 wickets in Test cricket. However, due to the presence of Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja in the team that toured Australia, it seems very difficult for him to find a place in the playing-11. Considering the pitch that was helpful for fast bowlers in Perth, the team included Sundar instead of Ashwin and experienced Jadeja due to his better batting. If the pitch helps fast bowlers more in the future too, then it will be very difficult for 38-year-old Ashwin to find a place in the team.

Ravichandran Ashwin bowled the best in SENA countries

Stats	Against	Grounds	Year
4/55	Australia	Adelaide	2020
4/62	England	Birmingham	2018
4/105	Australia	Sydney	2015
4/113	South Africa	Centurion	2018
3/35	Australia	Melbourne	2020

Ashwin has not taken five wickets in an innings even once in SENA countries. He has taken 71 wickets in 43 matches in these countries at a strike rate of 83.7. On the other hand, Jadeja has taken 52 wickets in 35 matches at the same strike rate. For the last several years, Jadeja has been getting preference over Ashwin due to better batting skills abroad. He has one century and five half-centuries to his name in these countries. He has scored runs at an average of around 30, while Ashwin has two half-centuries to his name.

Top 5 bowlers who took most T20 wickets for Pakistan

 The first T20 International match against Zimbabwe proved to be historic for Pakistan's star fast bowler Harris Rauf. In the match played in Bulawayo, Rauf took two wickets for 17 runs in 3 overs and became the highest wicket-taker from Pakistan in the T20 International format. Harris Rauf took the wickets of Zimbabwe's Ryan Burl (3) and Blessing Muzarabani. Rauf surpassed Shadab Khan in terms of taking the most T20 International wickets from Pakistan. 31-year-old Rauf took 109 wickets in 76 T20 International matches at an average of 20.45. At the same time, Shadab Khan took 107 wickets in 104 T20 International matches at an average of 23.57.

Top 5 bowlers who took the most T20 wickets for Pakistan

• Harris Rauf - 109
• Shadab Khan - 107
• Shaheen Afridi - 97
• Shahid Afridi - 97
• Umar Gul - 85

Top 5 bowlers who took most wickets in T20 International

• Tim Southee - 164
• Rashid Khan - 152
• Shakib Al Hasan - 149
• Ishan Sodhi - 138
• Mustafizur Rahman - 132

Talking about the T20 International format, the record of taking the most wickets is registered in the name of New Zealand's experienced fast bowler Tim Southee. Southee took 164 wickets in 126 matches at an average of 22.38. Afghanistan's Rashid Khan is in second place with 152 wickets. Harris Rauf is still out of the top-10 list. He is at number 14 in terms of taking the most wickets in the T20 International format.
