Daily Times May 7, 2021 HARARE: Test cricket is perhaps the format where Pakistan’s progress is most discernible. There is a stability about the side which is lacking in the other formats, with the results beginning to show something of an uptick of late. Performances against Zimbabwe may not appease the critics but remain vital, because an upset would undo much of the good work of recent times, something that should be front and centre across the visitors’ minds especially after the last time Pakistan played a series in Zimbabwe.

The Chevrons lost the opening by an innings and 116 runs inside three of the scheduled five days after putting on a lifeless performance with the bat, managing paltry scores of 176 and 134 in the two innings of the match. This left Pakistan needing to bat only once in the match after scoring 426 runs in their first innings. Middle-order batsman Roy Kaia was the highest scorer with 48 runs on his debut while the rest of the batting lineup struggled against the Pakistani bowlers. ....
