LAHORE (Dunya News) - Pakistan have won the toss and decided to bat first in first one-day international against Zimbabwe at Qaddafi Stadium in Lahore, Dunya News reported on Tuesday.
The both teams are ardent in snatching the victory.
Pakistan won the Twenty20 series 2-0 Sunday in front of a packed audience of 27,000 at Lahore s Gaddafi stadium, but will be far from happy over the manner of both wins which saw them nearly snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
The matches were played under massive security with 4,000 policemen guarding the stadium and another 2,000 deployed on the route from the team hotel to the venue.
Security has been ratcheted up to avoid a a repeat of the 2009 attacks on the Sri Lankan team bus, which killed eight people and cast Pakistan into sporting exile for six years.
