**Zimbabwe Stumbles to 142/7 after 29 Overs Against Pakistan in First ODI**
BULAWAYO, ZIMBABWE – Pakistan’s bowling attack put Zimbabwe under pressure in the first One Day International (ODI) of their three-match series at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo. After 29 overs, Zimbabwe found themselves struggling at 142/7.
Sikandar Raza (20 runs off 38 balls) and Richard Ngarava (7 runs off 10 balls) were the top scorers for Zimbabwe at the time of reporting, attempting to steady the innings. However, the Zimbabwean batting lineup faced consistent pressure from the Pakistani bowlers. Aamer Jamal was particularly effective, taking one wicket and conceding 42 runs in 7 overs. Faisal Akram also claimed a wicket.
Several Zimbabwean batsmen failed to capitalize on promising starts, with wickets falling at regular intervals. Notable partnerships were disrupted by key wickets, resulting in Zimbabwe’s slow progress towards a challenging total. The current run rate stands at 4.93 runs per over. The match continues.
